Atom's new Costume

[samurainoir]

Well, his successor just got skewered by Deathstroke. Plus keep in mind he's about to enter Firestorm.

Looks like his regular mask underneath so hopefully it's a special mission suit.

[madmarva]

It's not his regular costume. It's just for that mission.

I prefer his costume from "Sword of the Atom" so it's not a matter of it being a problem with a redesign, it's just a BAD design.

we have characters that the armor works for. Look at Jaime Reyes. That techno-organic armor thing really works for him.

but this? bleh.

That was a great mini in what 83?
with the exposed hair and loincloth over the jumpsuit aweseome

When Atom was all powered up as an Indigo Lantern in Blackest Night, his costume was a homage to his Sword of the Atom suit....

[megowgsh]

can you say ANT-MAN?

I tell you who needs a new costume is Plastic Man. Jeesh! That thing he wears has never been in style

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Meh. Give me the classic look any day.

>WHY?!?!

'Cos the Ironman movie made Knight Saber armour popular?

>can you say ANT-MAN?

HOLEEE SMOKES! I didn't even think of that! Now I can't NOT think it....

Yup. Looked great, and as Toyroom said, it was homaged in Blackest Night.

You're CRAZY! That costume IS Plastic Man...he can't wear anything else...wouldn't look right!

He gets away with it because he's such a ridiculous character. I wouldn't accept Reed Richards wearing that, but we're supposed to laugh at Plas, so I give him an easy "pass" in the costume department.



Ethan Van Sciver is always talking about Plastic Man as his dream project, not sure how he would handle the costume if he was going to do a more serious take.


I think Alex Ross has a long pants redesign of Plas in one of his books, but I'm not really sure it works.

[Nostalgiabuff]

when are the big 2 gonna learn that fans don't want new costumes for classic heroes. they always end up having to go back to the original look

[B-Lister]

just read the issue. It IS a special suit. They even mention it in the issue about it BEING just for the purpose of attempting to separate Firestorm.

Gil Kane did a version of Plastic man with long pants which i liked a lot more....
