Namor X-Uniform/Costume
On a positive note, I do like how they drew Namor himself -- kickass and pretty. But the costume ... NO.
@gambit987: You're right. Namor shouldn't be wearing any pants at all. :)
" @gunjin: Which costume are you talking about? I can't remember Namor ever wearing a codpiece, and the only armor he's worn is the Neptune Armor from 90s. Or are you talking about that black wetsuit looking thing from the Sub-Mariner Initiative? I vaguely remember them trying to pass that off as armor.found this scan from issue #37, i don't know what volume. i think im just nostalgic for this since this is one of the first comics i bought. and i believe every male superhero should wear pants.

" @Rheged said:Gotcha! Yes, that's what I meant by the Neptune Armor. It's from the 90s title Namor, on Jae Lee's run. He's actually wearing his green scale trunks, but since it was the 90s, they made everyone wear a thong / speedo." @gunjin: Which costume are you talking about?

This armor has really grown on me. I think the spikes are a bit too much and could be toned down, but I love all the engraving on the armor. You keep trying to make sense of all the swirls, and then notice there's little skulls -- it's cool! I'd love to see someone try their hand at it now.
LOL! I don't think the gray black on his legs are chaps. In other panels it looks more like superhero tights, but with some texture. I always thought they were shark skin or something like that. But yes, with the green speedos over them. Just like pics of Cap look like he has trunks over his tights. The gray black on his legs and neck, however, are a colorist error. All the other panels have his arms and legs bare.
