The Gypsies had no home. The Doors had no bass.
Does our reality determine our fiction or does our fiction determine our reality?
Whenever the question comes up about who some mysterious person is or who is behind something the answer will always be Frank Stallone.

What was this all about?

Super-heroes were overworking the Thighmaster back in the '90s.
I've always felt that the best costumes are the ones that are physical manifestations of some trait of the character. Batman's costume invokes fear Superman's invokes hope. You can tell the Flash is fast just by looking at his costume. To me the bad costumes are the ones that go against the entire point of the character. I like Wonder Woman but her costume makes no sense. She is a warrior princess from a secluded island nation. How does that translate to a beauty pageant swim suit? Most of the 90s redesigns of characters also had this problem. Perhaps the worse example of this are all the powergirl redesigns. Powergirl is a brash in your face character with a brash in your face costume to match, but every time they try and give her a new costume they give her the most bland unimaginative costume they can come with. Sure I understand some people don't like sexualized female costumes, but if your going to replace it please take the characters personality into consideration. Nothing about PG says she would wear a standard superhero costume, and nothing about her says she would want to be defined by the s shield (heck that goes against most of the stories told about her).
It's the replacement Atom that appeared during John Ostrander's run on Suicide Squad. The whole team had pretty much ditched their costumes at this point and were dressing in stylised military gear.
Not the greatest look for the Atom but it fit the nature of the stories at the time.
Here's some old shool shockers:
Kite Man
Knodar
Crazy Quilt
Kid Flash - The 1st costume - It doens't look right
Oh man Super Bulked up Mulletwing & Huntress looked so bad
Yeah....
Huh? The first costume was simply Barry's costume, but a bit smaller to fit Wallly. The second costume--the yellow and red one--is one of my favourite super-hero costumes of all time.
Just about all of the outfits Supergirl tried on in the early '70s were suggestions sent in by readers. It was a pretty cool idea--I never understood why a hero has to wear the same exact costume every single day, can't they change it up for the sake of variety? But those reader suggestions show that us hoi poloi are no better at designing costumes than the actual paid artists.
