Best & Worst Costumes

[K7P5V]

That top costume is terrible, but I kind of love it because I could absolutely see a 13 year-old throwing something like that together. The Excalibur look is probably my favorite for Kitty.

Couldn't agree more. Alan Davis did it best (IMHO):

[Baron of Faltine]

Cyclops' best:


Wolverine's best:

I know the respect gor the original wolvie costume, but the "chiquite banana" costume was as fitting as someone as Wolverine as giving a boob window to Sue Storm. His best costume was the brown and teal one, that he wore for most of his best stories in 80s and early 90s till some one decided for masochistic eye hurting reason to switch back to what amount to the less stealthy costume EVER outside of a neon glitter punisher skull. Silver lining got ripped apart so so so very often to the point we can safely say that the most used costume e by Wolverine is being bare chested showing off his body hair.

Wolverine: Black and Grey X-Force costumes fits him in a team. Leather jacket and pants from 2000s. Next is Brown and Tan costume which is the best alternative for both x-force and x-men

Jean: New X-Men costume, original Phoenix Costume and the one of the replicas with Red and Yellow costume, White Hot Room costume.

Cyclops: HoX/PoX costume, Astonishing X-Men costume and Classic blue and yellow costume

Worst costumes

All the respective late 80s and 90s costumes along with casuals. Ironically that was the best time for Wolverine. There is also Alaban costume when Logan got depowered, plus Cyclops black and red costume. Jean's skirt is probably the worst.

[From The Shadows]

Couldn't agree more. Alan Davis did it best (IMHO):

Love that costume. Especially when Davis is drawing it.

AoA Dazzler OG costume was awesome!

Attachment 123678

That was a great costume. Banshee had a great one from AoA as well.



I really liked this Nightcrawler costume. One of the best.

I know, right?! Alan Davis does everything greatly (IMHO):

I really liked this Nightcrawler costume. One of the best.

If Kurt can't wear the OG outfit, then I'd settle for the version from Carlos Pacheco (XD)

Kitty / Kate Pryde.

Best

Same energy as Marvel Girl. They love this mask right?

I absolutely hated the Grant Morrison era outfits.

They certainly weren’t costumes. We’re barely uniforms. Just…. Clothes.

Imperial Guard have the best costumes in the X-books, hands down.

I loved Tony Daniels Imperial Guard redesigns in Age of Apocalypse. They featured in "Gambit and the Xternals" (X-Force.)

[H-E-D]

Cyclops' worst is the Jim Lee 90's look. His best is his current look.

Jean Grey's worst is the Jim Lee 90's look. Her best is the Jamie McKelvie look from Blue.

Rogue's worst is the Jim Lee 90's look. Her best is the Messiah Complex era look.

(i'm sensing a pattern)

This is my favorite Cable costume hands down…



From X-Tinction Agenda. No crazy shoulder pads. Just a blue vest with gray pants. Simple yet effective. Let’s you know right away that he’s a commando or soldier of some sort.

[ARkadelphia]

That has got to be the worst outfit worn by anyone, at any time, Ever!

I’ve run the numbers, done the analytics, researched comic books starting in 1928, and consulted cerebro. And the answer to your question is “yes”. Worst costume worn by anyone at anytime ever.

I concur. The Jim Lee design is an all-time favorite (XD)

[Jackraow21]

It was just simple yet told you what he’s all about. So I love that one. The other one I like, because it finally gives Cable a more iconic look, is this one…



The “X” on the chest gives him a look that you can put on a T-shirt (I actually have one) similar to a Spider-man, Captain America, Daredevil or Punisher chest logo (or Superman, Batman, Flash, etc., if you’re looking over at the Distinguished Competition). So this one is cool too IMO.

JEAN GREY/MARVEL GIRL
Best: X-FACTOR FOREVER (Dan Panosian) - great amalgamation of other looks - Marvel girl neckline and gloves, belt pendant calls back to the Phoenix sash, New X-Men era leather pants.
Worst: ULTIMATE X-MEN (Adam Kubert) - tries too hard to be "young" and sexualized with the baremidriff and omnipresent cut-outs.
