I read a short story once in an old issue of Marvel Comics Presents featuring Gladiator. It was a pretty great introduction to the character and managed to explain his entire schtick and tell a compelling story in 8 pages. He was a reformed Daredevil villain who opened a costume shop. This kid comes in …

259. Electro
So one thing I’ve noticed is that I tend to really like the original costumes of the characters I’ve been redesigning (Mr. Terrific excluded). Electro is no different! I love the ridiculous oversized mask and the corny lightning suspenders and the lightning flared gloves. It’s glorious and I would gladly pay to see Amazing Spider-Man …
257. Havok
Havok has had his share of terrible costumes. Pretty much anything past 1994 or so. I’m pretty sure you can add this one to the list. For me, you can’t get past the perfection of his original outfit. It’s great and if you don’t think so, there’s the cliff off which you can dive. I’d …
256. Patriot
Same problem with Captain America,every variation of the patriotic superhero costume has been done. That and I’ve really liked both of Patriot’s costumes from “Young Avengers”. I’m not sure what’s happened to the character. I gave him Cap’s energy shield thing from back in the mid 90s, during one of Mark Waid’s run. Can’t remember …
255. Captain America
The problem with redesigning Captain America is that every variation of a patriotic superhero has pretty much been done. That and everytime Cap has been redesigned, it’s usually not for the better. This is definitely not an improvement. But I like an old-school cap when artists would hint at the scalemail armor instead of drawing …
253. Dazzler
I’m not sure who requested this one. Anyhoo, Dazzler’s an X-Man, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, a dimension-hopping adventurer and apparently future president (fucking spoilers). But the one thing she is above all else: Pop Star. So that’s what I went with here. I tried to combine her two most famous looks and meld it together all …
250. Black Panther
I was hesitant to do a redesign on this character. I think Panther’s costume is so slick and simple that there doesn’t need to be any drastic redesign to it. So I just sorta “New 52’d” this one and just added some lines. I made some other tweaks too. The mask is the big difference. …
201. Mr. Sinister
Just cuz
197. Moondragon
More like BOOBdragon, amirite? I worked at the movie theater when Starship Troopers originally came out, and all the times that I could have seen it for free, I never did. So now, 16 years later, I paid 13 bucks to watch some guys talk over it. Last night my friends and I went to …
