I LOVE Wonder Man’s ionic energy powers! I love when he gets to shoot energy blasts or switch into his energy form. Wish shot the blasts more often but it seems like there aren’t many powerful villains for superpowered heroes to fight at Marvel

Like the art, but really don't care for the costume. Too bland and unimaginative!
My all-time favorite artist in his single Marvel work (if you don't count the Batman/Hulk team-up), and it's with my favorite character. Too bad it's with that costume. I guess there really is no perfection!
Peace
Ach, the old "Chrtistmas Tree costume", lol. I think they meant well--they were trying to give Simon a costume and use his original, traditional colors, but well, not all costumes are created equal, lol!
Simon did look powerful in this costume but I did not like the back jets, yellow diamond, stomach upside-down "W", uncovered face, grey hair or "uncovered" crotch area. Other than that, I loved the colors!

What is your thought about Wonder Man Swimsuit shot?
On second thought... the speedo's gonna be a hard pass. Thanks JR Jr...
Simon's other Swimsuit Special appearances:
*ahem* That sounds like a costume that would not get past the Comics Code back in the day.... :P
I know with this costume they were intentionally trying to match the Vision's colour scheme, to reinforce the brotherly connection between them--but it just never looked right. I do wonder if this costume might work better though if they replaced the green and yellow with black, and made it Simon's more classic black-and-red colour scheme?
I liked both of these. That diving shot is a really good image of Simon--actually the whole picture is really good, with the background as well. I also thought the underwear ad was a nice touch, since it made sense as an in-story ad.
Hey, don't blame the speedo; it looks much better in the background of that Wasp picture you posted later.
But yeah, that Jr Jr pic is easily one of the worst pics of any character in any of the Swimsuit Specials. It is hardly a prime example of his art and his choice of background/prop for the image with an apparently dead lizard/serpent creature wrapped around him with blood or whatever pouring from its mouth....seriously, what the hell was he thinking when he came up with that picture concept, and what editor approved it?
I think this picture is a perfect exemple of how dull the East Coast line-up got for a while, when compared to the West Coast bunch. Powerful, no doubt, but dull. Iron-Man wearing armor and trunks is really too silly for words, though.
Hmm, seeing "Wonder Junk" here, I can't help but ask if Simon didn"t model his acting carreer on other aspects of Sylvester Stallone's, other than the action hero route? Respect.
Peace
