For similar reasons, costumes forged during Fear Itself are pretty awesome, and I'm sad they don't really show up or get referenced anywhere (theres a very similar IM armor in IM3, but its not the same; and you see it for a split second anyways).
I'm glad these were posted. Ghost Rider on a Lightcycle is just one of the coolest things ever.
Stealth suit spidey is pretty cool
I have major issues with any stealth suit that lights up.
Might as well wear a neon billboard.

I think I'm the only one around here who hates the Scarlet Spider suit (and Ben Reilly in general).
I hate the Iron Spider as well.
Spidey's my favorite character on the planet, but the only costumes I like are the original and the black.
Edit: Forgot about the Future Foundation suit, that one's actually pretty cool.

Ha, I just posted a couple spots above you that the Scarlet Spider costume is terrible (anything clone saga is awful, I should add). In general, Spider-Man has one of those classic costumes they shouldn't mess with too much.
This may be showing my age but when I was younger I was reading Iron Man at the time that War Machine made his first debut. I used to have all the comics (till I threw them out when I moved to Japan).
Sometime in the 90's he got his first spin-off series. In it eventually he lost his armor and gained some weird alien armor (edit: called warwear I just discovered). Those were weird times. I don't remember the comic lasting much longer than when it took a turn to the weird!
I'd rate this about the worst.

LOVE the new non avenger hawkeye costume from the Hawkeye
It warps light and sound around itself. He had to give special goggles to black cat so she could keep up with him.
Technically it's Doc Ock as Spiderman with the Venom symbiote.

Kingdom Come doesn't let on who he is but the the sequel makes it clear it's Wally.
Never felt strongly either way about the helmet on Jay but it just works perfectly for me in KC.
The skull on Spidey 2099's outfit is because it's actually a costume for the Day of the Dead festival.

High five. I hated the whole clone saga. It's almost like from mid-90s on, they tried to do everything possible to destroy the character. JMS actually started to get things back on track for a while before Quesada ruined everything again.
Oh well, Romita Sr. era is the best anyway. I just re-read that.

NeoGAF: my new HOME
You are the best person on GAF.
As a big fan of the character, my problem with the costume is not that it looks bad (okay, I think the plain black pants are dull as dirt) or that it covers her up, but rather, I don't think it really fits the character. Wonder Woman is a warrior from an ancient Greek inspired culture and yet, Jim Lee's design has her looking more like a street fighter. Granted, that choice fit the particular story the costume debuted in, but as far as having it be her standard outfit? Nah. It's same way I wouldn't like Thor having a similar costume. He's not from our world, so why would he go into battle dressed like us?
For what it's worth, I think the costume would be great for Wonder Girl, as I think it's a more natural evolution of what she was wearing at the time.
I suppose I should post some WW costumes I like now, huh?
(Takes the original design and moves it more toward being Greek-inspired armor, which is exactly what you should do with it)
(Not a fan of the wings on this one, though)
(I think I'm one of the few that actually likes the Flashpoint suit)

X-Factor Cyclops (with head-cover) is my favorite alt costume for Cyc.
I'd would of made it yellow and red whilst keeping the gradients not that it matter all it did was get blown up.

Glad people agree with me that white gloves/white boots Punisher is the only way to go. All other changes were pretty rotten.
I love the Batman Beyond suit.
Go home everyone, thread's over. Best answer was found.
Nightcrawler + The Creeper is some inspired fusing.

It's a miracle that comic books survived the 90s.
Miracle? That is when they were selling the most.

Dave Cockrum's original Phoenix design. This one got nixed because the white costume would show the printing from the reverse page:

But when printing methods and paper quality improved, a version of it showed up in Phoenix Endsong:

The early nineties, yes. In the late nineties, the speculator market crashed, comic stores were closing left and right, and publishers were facing bankruptcy.

How many "kids" did logan have by amalgam?
Still prefer the original though...I love the concept of The Sentry. It had some rough execution, but superman level power (or more arguably) and its inside the shell of a Shizophrenic suffering from paranoia, manic depression, and split personality disorder as the result of fallout after sever psychic tampering that was done to put him out of commission. Great conflict in this guy.
I thought I was the only one who liked The Sentry. What an awesome idea for a hero. I hoep they make a film about him one day.

For purposefully terrible ones: This is Blade in a bootleg Spider-Man costume. He needs to keep his presence in the country secret, so he uses this disguise in a pinch for some heroics. He eventually takes on the Ronin costume.

Udon Taskmaster is the superior version.

Tony why?
Is that so The Blob could fit inside or something?
