Of all the ’classical’ superheroes, who do you think has the best design?

Silver Age Green Lantern. Smooth, functional, a real class act.

Agreed. The white gloves put it over the top.

Gil Kane is hard to top, though I’d probably go with The Spectre. In some ways, the design almost shouldn’t work, but it remains a quite effective appearance.

Has to be Spider-Man for me, although much comes from those Ditko poses.

A big part of why I love the post-Negative Zone Byrne FF uniforms is the white gloves / collars / boots. Just makes the whole uniform pop.

JB - Agree with you on GL.   Do you think extending the green over the shoulders was positive (I do) or a negative change?
