I was not aware that early lightsabers had power cables. Thank you guys so much for informing me. I am a fake fan. :(
Awesome haircut btw. Love you buddy
I dont thinks that’s canon anymore but yeah they were awesome
Don't be down my dude, part of being a fan of something is finding out new things about it. 👍
@@kingyouki5904 He said early. As in the early concept designs. Regardless, it's all the more reason to be thankful that Lucas wasn't given free reign earlier on frankly.
mattwo7 in the old star war canon now legends the first lightsabers used by the Jedi and Sith had power cable attached to a power pack on the individuals belt I and I’m pretty sure drake we’re referring to those and not early movie designs
3:53 The gigantic chrome S stands for Stealth
It means Hidden.
Behold! Stealth Man!
Ignore that sound! It's a shadow! It's a cat! It was probably just a rat!
@@ishotmyboss Oh my goodness! I can't even see him!
@@bazingatronz5114 It cant be right?Its...
STEALTH MAN!!!!
Honestly the more and more comics I read, the less and less things surprise or phase me.
*Superhero film adapts something weird from the comics*
"Don't worry guys it's accurate to the comics!"
Comics pretty much did everything so I don't know if "comics- accurate" has any real weight anymore
COMICS
ARE
WEIRD
*faze
Comics and manga are just well look. Once you start reading them you just stop caring about a bunch of bullshit
@@mrboerger1620 But, Manga and Comics have their own distinct type of weird. Comics have the “Wait, he can do that?!” type of weird, and Manga has the “What the fuck did I just lay eyes upon” type of weird. I do get what you’re saying, however.
Electric Blue Superman May have been a weird gimmick, but it did accomplish one thing I will always respect it for.
It got rid of that damned mullet.
Super mullet is my religion, fuck you, fight me.
Wrong. What got rid of the super-mullet was Supes marriage to Lois.
There is a panel in the wedding issue were Clark says that he cut his hair for this important day, and that happened a few months before the transformation into electric blue happened.
You could probably do this for a lot of characters specificly wolverine and that weird monster noseless phase
Like when Hulk had guns...
@@pious83 Wait WHAT
@@megathot3734 When Banner was in control of a Hulk form. I think it's one of the weakest Hulks and it's the one used in the Amalgam fight between Supes and Hulk.
@@robinthrush9672 You mean Professor hulk, they one they trying to Promote in Avengers Endgames.
@@Chronoic Yeah!
I could see superman wearing power armor/ armored suit when fighting villains such as parasyte or metallo's kryotonite powers, also funnily enough in star wars lore the first lightsaber had a external battery pack with a cable connected to the sword so it's kinda funny that one of superman's costume would use a similar concept.
Sean McGee He actually did that in The Animated Series, when Parasite absorbed his powers, and thus his weaknesses too.
@@jbcatz5 I remember that special suit he wore, not very effective given how easily damaged it could get during the times he had to use it though
Sean McGee I remember seeing this power armor Superman at Superman the escape at six flags magic mountain, when I was a kid. Also, I liked this kind of suit.
The neckcast on the BvS one is protection from another kryptonian who would try and snap his neck. XD
Heh.
Nice!
Going off of MoS, I think it's a good idea. 😂😂
I actually really like the look of the black and silver suit, just without the weird neck cut. Simplicity in costume design is something I personally appreciate.
Good video :D
I think my least favorite was the Power Armor one. The fact that it’s just “Superman’s costume, but as power armor” seems like a wasted opportunity.
The best costume redesigns, in my opinion, should have some significance outside of just being to change.
Spider-Man’s Symbiote suit has come to mean a darker, less responsible Spider-Man, and there was an entire game where that costume represented a different kind of Spider-Man! That, in my opinion, is the best kind of costume change.
To be fair, most of them did signify something. Even the power armor was a significant change.
Can't beat the classic Superman costume.
Oh, and Superman Red and Superman Blue was a famous Silver Age "Imaginary story", so that may be where the idea came from.
Yup! I mentioned that in my 90s costume video.
That was one crotch-centric episode.
@Eric Burkheimer 😂😂😂
to be fair, i can understand superman needing armor if he somehow has lost access to his powers or is coming into contact with kryptonite.
like, as a backup plan, you know?
3 suits with hair windows.....frigin 90's
It works with wally west, but no one else.
@@christiancrusader9374 I'd argue it doesn't work with Wally, the only person I think that can pull it off is Gambit.
@@LupineShadowOmega oh yeah Gambit has it too. Alright it works with him too.
@@christiancrusader9374 I kind of like it with Jean Grey (with the pony tail hole in the back), but that's probably because it's how I was introduced to the character.
Lois: Clark! Get some clothes on! Why did you shave your head?
Superman: I call it my Doctor Manhattan look.
I really like Superman Blue. It must be because of Grant Morrison's JLA run.
Same for me with the shirt and jeans suit, the first time I saw it I really disliked it but after reading Morrison’s Action Comics run I’m fine with it.
Dan Jurgens is a good Superman writer but he had the misfortune of working on Supes during the nineties where everything had to be ''cool'' and ''extreme''.
Black suit was cool. The fight boots were from some random Team Luther guy and the guns lasted like 30 seconds before he lost them.
Respect your opinion, though.
Like with Spider-Man, the black suit rocks. I really liked the version of black suit in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
The funny thing about the 5:17 suit and the sword is that lightsabers did have power cords
I loved the "Space Samson" look he had at the end of the Exile storyline. He had a loincloth and his cape as a Samson robe. Plus a full, thick beard. The 90s were so perfect there was never any need to ever have other decades!
Silver age Superman had armor to protect from kryptonite
Ah yes... the age of straps, pouches, ammo belts, armor, and bomber jackets.... I remember it well.
I imagine the all-black costume was justified with "absorbs sunlight better" or something.
Please make this a long running series
I actually really like the Electric Superman look, but I was not here in the 90s so it was something I saw on a magazine and never actually read 😅🤷♂️
I liked it, what i didn't like was the change of powers, wich made him basically a different character.
lacrarte zorok Agreed made worse by the Red and Blue Superman split even if it was a call back to a classic comic.
I thought it was cool at the time. It just didn't make sense to me how he regained his regular powers.
Timothy Lewis How did they explained it?
I actually didn't mind superman Blue. I liked how simple it was compared to everything else at the time.
In the pre-Disney star wars era the older versions of light sabers in the old republic had cables.
I remember really liking the Superman Red and Blue design as a kid, I think it holds up today.
Also I've never seen that 'Metropolis' costume til today, and I actually really dig it.
I think though that it needs to also signify some character change, like the two tone back could represent a duality, the larger crest could represent a bigger tie to his roots as a cryptonian, maybe he has an era appropriate appreciation for his 'status' that his powers afford him.
Hey! Black Suit Superman was an awesome outfit... But I'm just now noticing the the toe clips? Yea, I blame the 90s for that part 😂
The black costume makes it look like they’re copying Spider-Man’s symbiote costume during Secret Wars.
(Before you attack me, the Symbiote costume came out in the 80s while Supes black costume came out in the 90s)
1:06 Because poor literacy...
Is accidentally racist.
5:10
I would just say that it's just a protosaber.
I think the Metropolis suit actually looks kind of cool. XD
Superman's face-sculpt for his armor just screams 'egomaniac'. Don't think that's what they were going for, but that's what comes across.
5:08 I mean, they sort of went full lightsaber since the first lightsabers used battery packs and cables.
The T-shirt Superman era was a weird time for DC in general. It was around the same time when Jim Gordon shaved his moustache and hopped into a robot batsuit
I am pi , just curious about what run of Superman that is because I’m actually really interested in reading it
I think for the last one, if it were drawn in a different style with some smaller details added, it would look pretty great. But in that art style it looks kinda weird
Love this, should definitely make it a series.
The 90's, where buckles, chords, straps and metal plates roam free!
I liked the motherbox costume as a story feature, showing Superman's fear of Doomsday, I'm just not keen on the look of it.
And I've always loved the recovery suit when he came back, the silver detailing and all.
1:01-1:18, 1:23-1:27 I remember seeing this power armor Superman, while waiting in line of Superman the escape at six flags magic mountain.
I like superman blue, I think it captures the idea of superman having to almost take on a new perspective. "I have to do things differently now, I have to be a different hero...but still carry my ideals" this is what an electric superman would look like, you still get the iconic crest, you get the simple yet effective unitard, new streaks of white to help pop from all the dark blue
Superman’s black costume during “Emperor Joker” was pretty cool. A black suit like the “Lois and Clark” one but with a cape, it made him look pretty badass.
None of them are THAT bad
Raahim Sattar the nomura designs are actually really cool
Mullet
The sword one is still my least favorite. It’s as painful to look at as Sue Storm’s mini-dress from Hell.
Would love to see this kind of video on Spider-Man
I like Minimalist design, so my favorites are the Erradicator during Reign of Supermen, Justice Lord Superman from Justice League cartoon and the one from Batman beyond.
Superman's final Rebirth suit at the of Reborn is the best Superman suit of all time and I'm so mad they brought the trunks back.
heavily agree removing the trunks was a natural and necessary evolution of the suit with the times, I think people are insane for wanting them back after the new 52 got rid of them
michael deering the new 52 only had Superman without the red trunks because of Flashpoint Superman wearing red trunks, and after Rebirth retconing Flashpoint by making Dr.Manhattan causing Flashpoint and not the Flash it made more sense to bring back the red trunks anyways.
Nah the red trunks are GOAT, I really like the contrast they bring to the suit.
@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr superheroes only wore trunks because strong men wore trunks, in the modern age there's no reference for why superheroes adopted wearing trunks so it doesn't make any sense except as a self-referential thing, so moving forward without is the correct move.
@@sscerbik except the suit has weird color balance without it. So just getting rid of it because you don't think it has a reference is sort of beside the point.
I love all of these. Great video.
During Superman's depowered phase of the New 52 I actually really liked the shirt and jeans look for it. It signified that not only was Clark close to the normal people, but Superman was as well. It gave me vibes of the "Champion of the Oppressed" Superman from the golden age. Maybe it was more just because I didn't like the Jim Lee New 52 Superman design all that much.
I gotta throw a little bit of appreciation for the mother box over, sure it’s dated and cluttered, but it does have that kinda “Knight in shining Armor” vibe
props for mentioning Superman Red. he seems to be forgotten, except for the Heroclix. one.
What if super man was made of metal
Me: Isn’t that Steel?
Once while bored, I started playing with an image of Electric Superman Blue in MS Paint. I recolored all the white parts red and changed all the energy around him to yellow. It looked like crap due to my already limited artistic skills, but on some level it seemed that in the hands of a better artist, it would have been far better than the monchrome blue or red costume.
Please make a video about his top ten best designs! I’d love to see all the creative, or even simple but smart, ways artists have tried to redesign him and did it fairly well!
The motherbox costume screams Rob Liefeld
Imagine being so obsesses with power armor you feel the need to give one to the guy whose whole thing is _being indestructible_
That Metropolis one has some potential, maybe if they workshopped it a little more they can make it work.
Isn’t That The Same Outfit Jor-El Wore in The Pilot Episode of Superman:The Animated Series When he Put Kal-El in His Spaceship Before Krypton Blew up?
Honestly, having New52 Clark go back to T-shirt and Jeans look felt like a blue collar original power set super man, with the story around his time being mostly depowered being some of the (arguably) best writing before his death.
Please do a best Costumes video. It could be a hole series
Only just finished reading Superman's Metropolis yesterday! Got Nosferatu and Blue Amazon to get through next. I Iiked the costume, but I agree on the two-tone remark. I don't see why they couldn't have kept the back completely blue.
Surprised the Injustice costume isn't on this...
2:40 I’m assuming that they added the hair so that people don’t confuse him with Steel
The suit with the belts and sword was easily the worst of them all
We definitely needed a part 2 to is
I feel as if the last entry would have been better if the red from the shirt went all the way down to his legs, instead of cutting off at the belt
ah that Krisis of the Krimson Kyptonite caught Mortal Kombat syndrome where the letter "C" becomes taboo
Re: Superman's Power Armour: It could be worse... ever see the "Supermobile" he used to fight Amazo in Action Comics # 481?
The last suit looks like a bad chefs jacket
That action figure at 6:42 is not Superman.
That's a character from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure attending a comic convention.
They should just make the yellow of his chest field blue or black, and get rid of the red trunks again.
Make the suit all dark blue, from neck to toe.
Or a Black suit with red chest crest, and keep the red cape. Simple 2 color ICONIC outifit : it says Superman!
Great video, yeah those suit variants are just too much crazy.
Thanks and Peace
Another great video, dude! Keep it up!
I would love if somebody redesign this costumes
Oh the 90tes will you ever not disappointed us?
I wasn't aware that Nomura did a line of figures (I've only ever seen the Batman one). I'm a huge Kingdom Hearts and TWEWY fan and for me Nomura's style tends to walk the line between appealing and frustrating. For instance, I will never not hate Donald Duck's zipper hat but I really like his take on Goofy's outfit.
I really don't like his superhero designs though as I feel his style is the antithesis of a good superhero outfit (especially DC heroes). Namely simple and striking. I pretty much agree with everything you said on the Superman figure and I can't stand the Batman one.
I thought the Nomura designs were pretty cool (besides Superman's I agree that he didn't look right)
Nomura has some pretty weird ones. They're either an enormous hit. Or an equally large miss. (Supes, and also the Flash, in my opinion.)
could not agree with you more when it comes to that Tetsuya Nomura design of Superman
I've somehow never seen that one at 4:00 before.
It looks like he's cosplaying as every Jim Lee X-man at the same time.
Imo, Superman just looks wrong without the red trunks. I actually got a good laugh out of that new Superman cartoon on Adult Swim when Ma Kent specifically added the red trunks to the original costume, because of how bad it looked without them.
The 2nd shirt and jeans actually a nod to the Fleischer’s Superman both in term of power and the symbol on the shirt. So I kinda dig it
That Superman Armor with Motherbox was totally accurate
It's like his mom forced him to get into a costume then called him handsome even it was suck
They have to include some of these suits in the eventual Superman game one day.
My favourite Superman suit is the Red Son Suit.
I kind of like the Superman Blue costume, but I agree with you that it isn't really a Superman costume. I liked it better when Livewire was given it a few issues before Flashpoint.
"if isn't broken, don't fix it"
The Superman's metropolis suit is actually really good. You're right about the art style.
Wooo! Another great video!
The Epic Battle Superman(TM) suit isn't an awful concept, just executed poorly. You could see him holding on to one of General Zods suits and using it when things got real bad
1:15 Lex Luthor takes off his robot hand to punch Superman with his wrist stump. He took off his robot hand. To punch Superman. With his wrist stump. Why??
Like, in what situation is it better to punch anything with your wrist stump rather than a robot hand? I get that Supes got donked with red kryptonite but wouldn't it still be better to punch a human face with a robot hand than a wrist stump?
Love your videos. Thank you.
Pirate super man, pirate super man....I never knew I needed this in my life. Give it to me now
So I'm guessing you had enough fire extinguishers and full-body armour to deal with the torches and pitchforks?
So Superman mated with Cable, forge and gambit to create this abomination, Superman: Strapped
The weirdest part of the motherbox one is that it doesn't even match the visuals of the 4th world
The armor in Justice was Lead protecting him kryotonite from metallo, and it turned out to be Capt amarvel
You forgot: the SINGULAR shoulder pad XD Which literally has no reason to be so prevalent in 90s as it was beyond Leifeld being randomly popular at the time.
I Really Need to Get Rid of These Damn Chronic Nightmares That I Get,I’d Really Like to Read The Story Where Lois Outs Clark as Superman
Nomura designed D.C figures.....WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THis?!?!
Drake what have you done, now I have to get all of them...
That cord sword is like the protosaber
1:07
Crisis
Of the
Crimson
Kryptonite
The DK3 Armor is Way Too Friggin’s Big,How Can he Possibly Move Around in it?
That stupid Gambit headsock. That's the design trend I hated the most in the 90's.
