Hey! Mohawk Storm is Best Storm.

I loved her punk look. It was awesome.

I'm a big fan of the Storm costume used in the 90's X-Men cartoon.

[up] Meh. It was OK. Not her worst. Not her best.

Her punk look was her best. Her current costume I'd probably place second. I hate the bathing suit aesthetic in general for female characters, and she's had a lot of bathing suit costumes. So I prefer the ones that aren't those.

[up][up]The cartoon costume wasn't a bathing suit, though.

I know. My criticism of bathing suit costumes was separate from the general mehness of the '90s silver costume.

[up]Ah, okay. I kinda agree the 90s costume was kinda meh, but I still like it. As you said, Storm did have a lot of bathing suits, so every non swimsuit is a good suit, in comparison. In the way, the 90s all white costume is nice.

The white Storm costume is a case where I think I'd dislike it if it wasn't for nostalgia. She suits black best.

I love the Silver Centurion armour. The only thing it lacked was a nose..

I hate the Quitely X-Men outfits so much I've of become kind of fascinated with them. I want to see a real life version. I think the New X-Men would have looked better if they'd had different outfits for different purposes, keep the leather for field situations and have teaching, casual and formal uniforms made out of more appropriate material than black leather.

Am I a good man or a bad man?

I do have fond memories of Storm's X-Men costume from the early '90s. It's just cool to me. I don't actually mind her punk costume with the mohawk either.

Do not obey in advance.

[up][up]I just thought it was kind of funny that they all had the same black jacket with a big yellow X on the front... except Emma, who still taught teenagers while dressed like a stripper.

I can't believe none of us have mentioned Green Arrow's famous sleeveless leather/goatee update. And the DCAU version, where they replaced the Robin Hood hat with a regular hood (as a nod to the Longbow Hunters era, no doubt); equally cool. When I saw that version in Justice League Unlimited, my first thought was, "Does that outfit come in blue?" note

I absolutely love Cyclops' Marvel Now costume. The big X shaped visor was kind of jarring at first, but it grew on me.

Yeah I thought it was the stupidest look ever and now I love it. I prefer it when the lines are brighter than the rest of the costume though. Like so.

The goggles are a weird touch. The costumes themselves are pretty similar to the ones they have now, but I think a bit of an improvement. Not that there's anything wrong with the ones they have now.

They are the same outfits, just with goggles.

Huh. For some reason, I thought there was a little more black on the current costumes. I guess I should've double-checked before I posted. That's what I get for being lazy.

I am not completely sure how I feel about Doctor Octopus's two post-BND looks - the first, with the eight tentacles and the straightjacketed arms, and the second one from Ends of the Earth where he was a coffin on legs. And yet, I want action figures for either or both more than I have ever wanted Ock action figures. Mostly, Ock has never translated well into action figure form - the tentacles always have to be floppy, or finicky, or fragile, or just plain wimpy-looking, and the main figure tends to suffer because of the engineering put into them. These two designs both seemed made for the eventual action figure - the first, with the greater number of tentacles and the arms pinned to his chest, removes the arms from the engineering and places the tentacles so that they could possibly balance without the legs. The second, from Ends of the Earth - well, it just seems made to be a Build A Figure, and removes all non-tentacle jointed parts from a prospective toy.

Basically, while I am not overly fond of either design, either one could make the first truly good Doctor Octopus action figure.
