    Is the costume Storm Shadow used in G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra inspired by Fantomex? Their resemblance is uncanny

    Considering Storm Shadow came before Fantomex, I doubt it...

    I can see the similarities. But the characters have very similar costumes to begin with, so I don't think the movie version was really 'inspired' by Fantomex...

    It's a rip-off from Diabolik in the first place

    comparing ninjas is always a little rough, but as stated Storm Shadow came along time before
    Fantomex. both are non anyways since the person who created the Storm Shadow character
    was Larry Hama during the Real American Hero relaunch, and he was commissioned from Marvel 
    at the time in a joint effort with Hasbro to do so. The movie Storm Shadow is mostly based on that
    era's Marvel comics appearances. So either way Marvel technically owns the concept design.

    What I mean is, the movie version of S. shadows costume, is very similar to Fantomex's. I don't mean who created who first, but was Storm Shadows movie costume possibly inspired by Fantomex's?

    @Crackdown: 
    still dont understand why its a question. 
    Storm Shadow was created in 1984.
    Fantomex in 2002. the movie costume is
    a lineage to Storm Shadows original one.
