This Sam Alexander Nova design. Champions continued using his original one, and this one wasn't used at all after Nova Vol 7 until next week's Annihilation Scourge: Nova, and it's only used there because it's a flashback to Nova Vol 7.

Way back in X-Force v1 #75, the team went to a "Burning Man" and ran into an old friend with a new look.
Karma went back to her original appearance when she came back years later, and it sucked. After a shaved head and a pink dyejob, a smart bob and headband is just plain sad.

After Alan Davis provided Nightcrawler with an update to the classic Cockrum, they went backward, then forward with a dashing redesign that incorporated a chlamys and a foil.
No one seemed to like it, but I think there was some drama in the cloak.
I think this was just shy of being a good redesign. It makes no sense for her to cover her face after not doing so for her entire career, and the sleeve is too billowy.
But I like the idea of her look not being swimming suit-adjacent, I loved the ponytail, and I loved her little tech sleeve/grappling hook thing. I also wonder if this look would have been better received if the run it debuted in has been better. Self-reflecting a bit, a bad run can ruin a lot for me, and for awhile. It's also a look that's dependent on the artist, I think. Sienkiewicz's concept here isn't bad, and Lopez made it look pretty good in Defenders.

And who could forget the time Colossus had a decent haircut? It was during IvX, and ALL those looks were good... and then immediately tossed in the bin.
