I also liked when Walt Simonson tore the top off of Cyclops’ costume in an issue of X-Factor. It looked really good. But it only worked in the context of his uniform being damaged. When they later made his regular costume look like that, I just didn’t think it was a look Scott Summers would choose.

I like the current Wonder Woman outfit -- it's very, very close to the movie version -- but it looks like it takes a year and a half to draw, which makes me wonder (ha ha) how the books featuring Diana are coming out on time!

Yeah that was one of the worst superhero costumes ever. Simon's costume before that was fine.

Speaking of Awful costumes, Cyclops has only had one I halfway liked since the one had back when artists named Cockrum and Byrne were drawing him: the black outfit with gold trim from ASTONISHING X-MEN. The only thing out of place was the silver visor. But his most recent costumes have been garbage. the X-shaped visor makes no sense....unless as part of a secondary mutation his eyes have moved, so he can no longer pass for human when unmasked. The mostly red costume (or is it mostly black, if he's not about to blast someone?) is hot garbage.

But almost every costume he's had since the original green and orange outfit has been an improvement over it.

I’m not sure it was the colourists per se, but rather the printing. I thought they were saying the lines were too thin/too close together and they thought the colours would constantly bleed into one another if the figure was too small on the page.

This was ‘80’s newsprint after all
