ITT: Comics characters who originally had shitty, generic costumes before gaining their iconic looks

The obvious is Batman but there's probably some contrarian who thinks otherwise.

A lot of Bat's baddies seem to have started out as "guy in a suit with a mask"

Didn't they switch Black Mask back to wearing a mask with the Nu2 instead of the Red Skull thing he had going?

That's because he was just naked all the time.

>>83654818
It did a bit.
He's become more jagged as time went on and originally he was just a nigga covered in snow.
Oh and I forgot Beast used to just be a beefy dude.

I know /co/ adores Capullo, but I honestly think a lot of his character redesigns have been really bad.

Wow, that us awful. Also, I'm getting really sick of New 52 Red Hood. It's not a bad design, just painfully generic, it's like the first thing you can possibly come up with when you think "how to make a badass mercenary Batman". I'm starting to warm up to how he originally looked. Goofy as hell, but also has some class to it and is just a more fun design and gimmick.

Primary colours are used back in the old days for a reason. You need the protagonist to be clearly identified even when he or she is just a smudge on a zoomed out page. And Primary colours are more clearly printed with the shitty printers and shitty paper they had back then.
>>
>>83654106
You can go right to he'll sir!
>>
>>83657895
It's not the primary colors, it's the lack of balance. It's nothing but red and yellow, with no blue to break it up except for the hands, which just makes the whole thing look worse. It's actually painful to look at.

That's not Widow's original design and she only had it for a handful of appearances but OK.

That image is fake anon.

Is it really fair to say a character had a shitty initial design when you're talking about an artist's preliminary sketch that literally a handful of people have scene that was never even close to being printed?
