I'm more of a red and black man myself.
Not a fan of the green. Honestly I'm not a fan of the crackling energy around him either.
Personally, I've never liked green in any of his costumes, and would hate to see it make a return.
I like his first two uniforms when he wore a cowl. It's a dated look, but he looked more formidable in those than he did with black tank top and tights. A couple of years back someone posted his first costume in black/red -- and it look pretty good -- more impressive.
I've said it before: that animation-style version of his first look is superb.
Where are those shots from?? I don't think I've seen Simon animated except in the dreadful United They Stand series...
Those scans above aren't from a cartoon, although the art style certainly would lead one to think so. Its actually from the story in AVENGERS CLASSIC that filled in some of the off-panel blanks of Wonder Man's original stint as Baron Zemo's mole in the Avengers.
As for Simon in animated form, he was also in the MODOK animated series.
