Least number of costume changes

[StoneGold]

One of the Ronin threads got me thinking, what Marvel hero has had the least number of costume changes? For the sake of argument, we're going to have to limit this to characters who have had a starring role in a book. I think accepting major team book players is OK, but, for instance, Captain Ultra wouldn't, just because he hasn't had enough appearances to bother changing his costume.

[Loner]

Spider-Woman 1? I think her only change has been her mask -once- and that was very early on in her series.

Though now that I think about it, Black Bolt may not have ever changed.

There was also the whole "Jessica Drew, PI" period. Which was standard enough that I think it counts as a change.

Blackbolt is a good one though. Hell, he was like the only guy Jae Lee didn't alter for the maxi-series. Closest I can think of to a costume change is when he puts on the funky Kirby crown.

The image there just made me imagine if he could talk he would say

"Fear the space turkey!"

[overcomebyfumes]

Silver Surfer? I'd say not a single costume change.

Pax.

[StoneGold]

Silver Surfer? I'd say not a single costume change.

Pax.

Depends if you want to count the loss of the cosmic boxer shorts as a costume change or not.

[Joe Acro]

I'd say Doctor Strange has stayed pretty consistently dressed.

[StoneGold]

I'd say Doctor Strange has stayed pretty consistently dressed.

Nah, he's had a bunch. From the Eye of Aggomotto changing shape, to the eyepatch days, to when he had the full facemask, to the funky shirt from the Marvel Knights books, to the casual look from the latest mini-series... I'm sure there have been a few more too, that's just off the top of my head.

[Blake Petit]

The Punisher hasn't changed much -- the boots and gloves went from silver to black and back again, but other than that.


Hmm... has Moon Knight ever changed his costume?

[Shyft]

Captain America?

[Mike Smash!]

Captain America?Cap's a good example. Aside from the change to his mask and switching to the iconic round shield, he's been pretty consistent over the years. Recently they added some pouches to his belt, as well.

But he did take on alternate identities a time or two. Nomad and the Captain (which later became U.S. Agent's costume).

[Mike Smash!]

If we include villains, Dr. Doom has been pretty consistent. He added the cape pretty early on and he briefly wore the leather armor when he embraced magic a couple years back, but for a majority of his time in comics, he's looked exactly the same.

Daredevil, as well. Aside from the yellow and black at the beginning of his career and the brief stint in the armored outfit in the '90s, he's stuck to the red tights pretty consistently.

[StoneGold]

The Punisher hasn't changed much -- the boots and gloves went from silver to black and back again, but other than that.


Hmm... has Moon Knight ever changed his costume?

Moon Knight's costume has changed a couple of times. His first appearance was drastically changed from his second, and then there was the whole adamantium armor period.

As for Punisher, he's had a few. There was the angel costume, the armor he had for a couple of issues, various switches from a more traditional costume to t-shirts, whether or not the teeth of the costume were just a part of the shirt or a cartridge belt, etc.

[StoneGold]

Cap's a good example. Aside from the change to his mask and switching to the iconic round shield, he's been pretty consistent over the years. Recently they added some pouches to his belt, as well.

But he did take on alternate identities a time or two. Nomad and the Captain (which later became U.S. Agent's costume).

Cap's had a few more besides that. Even if you discount the pouches/more defined mask and armor which has seemingly been retconed a bit into the character's past, there was the original costume with the triangle shield and no neck, the battle harness from when Cap was dying, the armor from when Cap was dying even more, and then some minor stuff, like when the Avengers were all wearing leather jackets on top of their costumes. Oh, almost forgot the King Arthur costume from Avengers #2 when Morgan Le Fey was messing with them, and the Kulan Gath costume.

[Sanagi]

Captain Marvel(the Shazam one). Did he ever change his costume significantly?

[StoneGold]

If we include villains, Dr. Doom has been pretty consistent. He added the cape pretty early on and he briefly wore the leather armor when he embraced magic a couple years back, but for a majority of his time in comics, he's looked exactly the same.

.

I was specifically leaving out villains, just because they tend to change their clothes even less, but Doom has had a few more. This page alone has a few different looks, and it's a bit out of date, leaving out stuff like the lion hide costume.

[Shyft]

Deadpool has been pretty consistant.

[StoneGold]

Deadpool has been pretty consistant.

He's had tons of changes. Hell, the Liefeld days alone. Granted, that was probably due to Rob not being able to keep the suit consistent, but there have been a bunch of minor changes to the costume over the years. And that's not counting major stuff like the Thor costume, the Mithras armor, running around in Jean's old costume, Astonishing X-Men costume, etc.

[The Iron Fist]

With his new ongoing series, Iron Fist had a new costume change.

The only major costumes DP has had are:
-Original X-Force era w/pouches (http://www.geocities.com/x_villains/deadpool/deadpool_first.jpg)
-Classic Kelly era (w/o pouches, more defined red/black jigsaw (http://www.comicsvf.com/scans/vf/marvelfrance/deadpool/1.jpg)
-Cable and DP "Assassin" clothes (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/ca/Deadpool.png).

The Thorpool, Mithras, Weapon X Black, Marvel Girl, and vomit inducing X-Men costume have each not lasted more than four issues apiece. They can hardly be considered changes.

What about Hawkeye, Hercules, Galactus and Banshee?

[Blake Petit]

What about Hawkeye, Hercules, Galactus and Banshee?

Hawkeye went through several permutations of his basic look, plus the look he had in the 90s during the leather jacket phase. Herc had sort of the same thing (and even shaved at one point). Galactus's look has been pretty consistent, except for losing the original "G" and getting long sleeves...

Banshee, Banshee... I could swear he went through a couple of changes, but at the moment, I can't think of what they were.

Sure they can. But you're still leaving out the open mask hooded look, the design change when Priest came on the book, and I believe several other design changes where, while the basic look might have stayed the same, the design shifted a lot.

[StoneGold]

How about Mysterio and Mr. Sinister?

No villains. But Mysterio has had a ton of revamp attempts in the last couple years.

[PatchMadripoor]

The Silver Surfer.

[Sijo]

Captain Marvel(the Shazam one). Did he ever change his costume significantly? Cap's costume was redesigned in the 90's to add a flap and buttons to his chest that gave a kind of "majorette" look to it. Other than that, it's been pretty much the same since the 40's.

You haven't been reading the new Shazam book then that Winnick's been writing.


In any case, I wasn't talking about that kind of Marvel.

[streator]

quicksilver's only had a few looks:

the green and white costume

the blue and white costume

the x-factor yellow and blue costume

the mid 90s blue and white costume

...


someone else- the sentry

[lazykarateguy]

Sure they can. But you're still leaving out the open mask hooded look, the design change when Priest came on the book, and I believe several other design changes where, while the basic look might have stayed the same, the design shifted a lot.

Also when they renamed it briefly to "Deadpool Agent of Weapon X" or something like that, he reversed his color scheme and wore a short sleeved shirt

[StoneGold]

Hawkeye's had a ton of changes. Hell, name changes, even. He had the toga look for a while as Goliath, the slightly less crappy Goliath costume, then there was the urban assault costume, the Force Works open mask costume, a bunch of minor re-designs the last couple of years...

Herc's had a couple as well. The green underwear, the toga, the Kevin Sorbo pants, his Heroes For Hire metal headpiece thingy, and that's not counting his outfit from his maxiseries, because that's from an alternate future.

[StoneGold]

someone else- the sentry

Considering the small number of books Sentry has actually appeared in though, the fact that he has two - the masked and unmasked look - is a lot.

i didn't even know he wore a mask once. i haven't read many of his appearances.

how about magneto?

he's had the classic look, the purple and white uncanny 200 look, the eve of destruction look, the planet x/movie look... anything else?

Again, I'd count Maggie as more of a villain than a hero. Yeah, he's been on the side of the angels, yeah, he's conflicted, but when you boil down the X-Men to their simplest, he's their primary foe.

As for the Sentry mask thing, it's part of his fake back history. It was a "lost" piece of art by John Romita Sr. But then he's also had his cape redesigned.

[Kirk G]

Uh, I haven't read this whole thread, but there's a major factor that got in the way of this... about 1985 or so...when Jim Shooter and the lawyers at Marvel started worrying that he might sue over ownership of the characters that Marvel Comics was publishing and making their daily bread upon.
Though it was disguised as "Marvel Characters Grow and Change", what was happening was characters were all being altered into a different forms.
Think about it... every Marvel comics hero underwent a significant change...
Iron Man, silver armor
Hulk, broke leg, and then when Grey... got intellegence
Thor, scared and grew beard, along with armor.
Daredevil, gained armor
She-Hulk, wore a costume
Spiderman, switched to black offit
FF, trading in Blue or black outfits...
Avengers led by new leaders...
USAGent takes over for Cap.
Cap America becomes The Captain...
Submariner dons a black webed outfit

It was a move to protect the company from a suit that never materialized.
So, who has had the least changes? I'd guess it was either the Hulk in those torn purple shorts, or the FF in sublte navy Blue or black outfits. Maybe the Thing in his blue shorts and orange scales.
But Thor was pretty stead for years...and Cap was always coming back to his classic images too.

I Thing I've said enough...

[1WEBHEAD]

No villains. But Mysterio has had a ton of revamp attempts in the last couple years.

Okay then, how about Black Bolt? I'm pretty sure Gravity never changed his costume.

[garin]

-Original X-Force era w/pouches (http://www.geocities.com/x_villains/deadpool/deadpool_first.jpg)Holy crap, look at the bottom panel on that page. It took me a long time to even parse it.

Gravity was also only around for like a year and a half...

Watcher 2 I think...
Hulk (purple pants and the other 2 I can think of - the jumpsuit of the Professor and Fixit's italian suits)

[Cthulhudrew]

If we include villains, Dr. Doom has been pretty consistent. He added the cape pretty early on and he briefly wore the leather armor when he embraced magic a couple years back, but for a majority of his time in comics, he's looked exactly the same.

He also had the cool Simonson Promethium Armor for a time. And then there's the Kristoff Doom look (when Kristoff was programmed to believe he was Doom).

EDIT- Of course, next time I could finish clicking on page 2 and reading Stonegold's post before I add my 2 cents. ;)

[Cthulhudrew]

Tigra's only ever had one costume, unless you count her days as the Cat and the addition of the tail as costume changes. :)

Namor's only had two costumes that I can recall- his speedo and the regal black-winged looking thing. (Possibly a third, if you consider that the mysterious and unidentified armored person from the Atlantis Attacks! storyline may have been Namor. Actually, come to think of it, he may have worn a form of Atlantean armor once, too...)

[Jack]

As for Punisher, he's had a few. There was the angel costume, the armor he had for a couple of issues, various switches from a more traditional costume to t-shirts, whether or not the teeth of the costume were just a part of the shirt or a cartridge belt, etc.How could you forget...

Namor also had a modified version of his green trunks, where it was more of a thong and had some gold lining. And then there were the original black trunks, but I forgot how Roy Thomas made those work with continuity. I know he devoted a story to it.

[StoneGold]

How could you forget...


Good taste. Although that does bring up a question, does changing facial hair, skin color, etc, count as a costume change? I'd argue yes, just because as far as the license is concerned, it's a major change to the visual trademark. Wrong company, but Mullet Superman was as much a costume change as the Electric Blue. Although for the sake of this thread, it would have to be fairly drastic. Jim Lee not drawing the Punisher with the little receding hairline, changing the way he'd be drawn for the next 20 years, was more of a minor artistic decision than an actual costume change. Whereas when Quasar had his long hair cut in battle so it became a mullet, that would count, because it was part of the story, and silly.

[Sijo]

You haven't been reading the new Shazam book then that Winnick's been writing. No, and I won't (or any other DC comic any time soon.) I love the DCU, I hate what it's being done to it these days. I'll come back once Didio's gone. Also, I'm not even sure if the series is canonical (the whole "different gods" thing had already been explained in War of the Gods, there was no need to reinvent it.)

[Neptunicus]

Galactus

Watcher 2 I think...

Surfer has worns undies in the past and not worn undies in the past and early Galactus didn't wear pants. I'm not kidding. He also had a big G on his chest and has some other subtle changes over time....

http://www.cosmiccomix.com/comics/SilverSurfer/BigG.jpg

[Neptunicus]

Rom never changed but he is out of circulation (due to copyright issues) so that answer is cheating a bit. Did Sasquatch really ever change? Maybe he doesn't count either. Plus he switched bodies into the Snowbird Sasquatch version at some point.....but he looked the same (excepting the color).

[Cthulhudrew]

How about Gambit? I haven't read X-Books (aside from X-Factor) in a long while, but it seemed to me that he always kept the same boots, trenchcoat, and purple/blue tunic combo even when the other X-Men adopted matching uniforms and such.

[Cthulhudrew]

Speedball's only had two.

Gamora, I believe, has only had one- unless you count her robed "civvies" as a costume. (Can't recall offhand if she had a different outfit in Annihilation). She might not count for purposes of what you're looking for, though.

How about Nightcrawler? He's only had the one look that I know of (again, unless you count the "pirate" garb he's worn on occasion as a costume).

[EDIT- Unless he wore one of the X-uniforms from the Morrison days, then that would be two.]

Speedball's only had two. Speedy's had way more than two. He had the original, the one he morphed into when he was jealous because everyone else got a costume change, the second series costume, the miniseries costume, and now Penance.

Gamora, I believe, has only had one- unless you count her robed "civvies" as a costume. (Can't recall offhand if she had a different outfit in Annihilation). She might not count for purposes of what you're looking for, though.
Yeah, she's a bit too obscure to count for this.

Has Captain Britain had more than one costume?

And StoneGold, you can post four images...

[Blake Petit]

At least three Cap'n Britains -- the original with the big lion emblem, the classic version, and the one he's wearing now (which is similar to the classic, but more streamlined).

[StoneGold]

Has Captain Britain had more than one costume?

And StoneGold, you can post four images...

Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. It's a size issue as well, I think. In any case, I figure three should get the point across.

In any case, as for Brian...

[StoneGold]

Is he really Captain Britain in that shot, though?

It's Brian Braddock. If you're going to get nitpicky that it's not Captain Britain, then you have to include all the times the costume has included boobies.


Besides, the New Exaclibur costume was modified from the cowled version.

http://www.newsarama.com/wwphilly05/Marvel/XPanel/New_Excalibur.jpg

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Is he really Captain Britain in that shot, though?

Its still Brian Braddock, and yes, he is Captain Britain. Brian's had several uniforms, check out the spotlight sections at Uncannyxmen.net for most major X-characters' looks in their costumes section. Brian has had two different styles of the red/white/blue Union Flag costumes before the current incarnation, as well as the red/gold/blue original costume, his time as Britannic's red jumpsuit. and the mostly black version of his classic red/white/blue Excalibur costume from the Pacheco/Ellis run of Excalibur when her returned to being called Captain Britain, and then the black and white one we're referencing. Thats 6 Captain Britain uniforms and the Britannic as well.

Nightcrawler has had several distinct looks as well, including his classic Cockrum look that has maintained use for the most part, his poncho/nearly in his undies look he sported with a shaved head and goatee during the aforementioned Pacheco/Ellis run, the armor he wore during the X-Men "Revoltuion" relaunch when Claremont first returned to the X-Books, his two New X-Men era looks and his more recent Alan Davis designed costume, that has many similarities to the original, but is different enough to be considered a new costume, with the lack of pointy shoulders and the X emblem present on his chest.

Really, Almost all characters have had at least one costume change if they've been around long at all. Heck, even the Young Avengers, save Kate, have all run around in two costumes, you might even argue that Kate's makeshift bridesmaid gown/Mockingbird mask counts as a seperate look.

One old character who has had only one costume owes it mostly to his lack of appearance, and that is Black Crow.

[StoneGold]

One old character who has had only one costume owes it mostly to his lack of appearance, and that is Black Crow.

Yeah, but he's too obscure to fit the criteria.

So far, I'm thinking Blackbolt is the winner with basically no real costume changes. Although Silver Surfer's disappearing cosmic boxer shorts are a close second, just because he's had his own book.

[streator]

captain britain, gambit and nightcrawler have all had 4+ different costumes.

How about the Black Cat? Her costume stays pretty consistent.

[StoneGold]

captain britain, gambit and nightcrawler have all had 4+ different costumes.

Hell, it would probably be a feat to find an X-Man with at least 20 appearances who hasn't had at least one costume change.


Did Cecilia Reyes have more than the blue and gold costume? She spent most of her appearances in civvies, didn't she?

[streator]

Yeah, but he's too obscure to fit the criteria.

black bolt has had a slight tweaking in the design around his mid-section.

other than that i would agree that he's been pretty consistent.

Did Cecilia Reyes have more than the blue and gold costume? She spent most of her appearances in civvies, didn't she?

yes, she did; she wore an old costume of the wasp's on a mission (x-men 75) but usually she just wore normal clothes.

[StoneGold]

How about the Black Cat? Her costume stays pretty consistent.

Doesn't really fit the initial criteria, in that she's kind of a villain, doesn't have her own book/major player in a team book (at least not until this year, and I wish she wasn't in it). She has had at least one major in-continuity costume change, losing the fur on her boobies and getting black boots instead of white. And there's the Linser redesign, but I don't think that counts as canon. Her boots were rejiggered a bit for H4H as well, getting a more sneaker-ish appearance.

[Blake Petit]

How about the Black Cat? Her costume stays pretty consistent.

Black Cat has had at least one major costume change, the "gold shoulders & ponytail" look she sported circa the "Missing in Action" series. She's also had lots of minor changes, mostly relating to the amount of cleavage the artist wants to draw.

[streator]

i just thought of a winner:

penance, from generation x.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_%28Marvel_Comics%29

i think she's only had 1 look (not counting all of the m/twins/m-plate crap).

[Joe Acro]

What about if you go by simply people named "Maverick"? Ignore Bolt and Agent Zero for the moment. Was Bolt's rendition of the costume much different from Christoph's?

[Ogrebear]

Since the shape changing does not count then I nominate: Slapstick!!

I don't think anyone said shape changing didn't count, but in this case, lack of appearances does. A debut mini really doesn't cut it.

Alternatively James MacDonald Hudson as Guardian:



This one gets tricky, just because figuring out who is James, a cyborg, an alternate timline clone replacement, whatever, gets confusing. But there have been a few modifications to the costume. Mostly alterations to the mask, if there is any red in it. This one, for instance.

[Dark Ben]

Tigra's only ever had one costume, unless you count her days as the Cat and the addition of the tail as costume changes. :)

Namor's only had two costumes that I can recall- his speedo and the regal black-winged looking thing. (Possibly a third, if you consider that the mysterious and unidentified armored person from the Atlantis Attacks! storyline may have been Namor. Actually, come to think of it, he may have worn a form of Atlantean armor once, too...)

Back in the Forties Namor got two or three Costumes (a superman-like costume for example) and went over several Costume changes (even his trunk changed a lot)

and for the thread I suggest Radioactive man, Mantis, Monica Rambeau, Starfox, Marrina, Firebird and the Shroud

[oneasian]

the Hulk!

the only thing that ever really changed was his skin color and when he wore a suit for a bit during the Mr. Fixit period

If you don't count that jump suit get up he wore in the Pantheon, the Planet Hulk armor, the underwear period, War Hulk, and the pink bunny slippers.

How about the Black Cat? Her costume stays pretty consistent.

Stonegold mentioned a couple of changes, but there was also the brief one she had when she beat Sabretooth with the weird spiky shoulder pads.

[creaky]

Nightcrawler has had several distinct looks as well, including his classic Cockrum look that has maintained use for the most part, his poncho/nearly in his undies look he sported with a shaved head and goatee during the aforementioned Pacheco/Ellis run, the armor he wore during the X-Men "Revoltuion" relaunch when Claremont first returned to the X-Books, his two New X-Men era looks and his more recent Alan Davis designed costume, that has many similarities to the original, but is different enough to be considered a new costume, with the lack of pointy shoulders and the X emblem present on his chest.

I loved the costume he got straight after having been shot with a crossbow bolt in the back: a big, fat X on his chest.

[Smokeyjay]

Has anyone said Gambit?

I've always remembered him in that trenchcoat thingy since the early 90s.

You're forgetting a whole bunch. Go back through the thread. They're listed.

In any case, it still doesn't beat Blackbolt's none (if you're ignoring the crown, and since he didn't even take his mask off for it, I am) and Surfer losing the cosmic boxer shorts.


Although I think Cloak and Dagger might fit the criteria. The closest Dagger's come to a costume change is a slight artistic design on her boobies for a more all-ages book by a Japanese artist, so whether you want to count that as an official change is debatable. And the closest Cloak has come, IIRC, is the occasional facial hair.

The design was only slightly more different than you make it out to be. The changes in Runaways were to BOTH Cloak and Dagger, with Cloak losing the signature black stripes on his cloak to leave it solid blue, and as you say, the facial hair, so his is barely different. Dagger's costume is essentially the same, yes, but it is different in that her face-marking, half circle/crescent shape design is gone, a collar is added, the neckalce is missing and the leggings have a more track-suit look with seperate boots/shoes and a pant-like ending, instead of a solid body suit. Its as different as she's ever gotten, and its mostly the same, but it isn't the same exact costume.

[The Iron Fist]

he actually first got that change in Bendis Daredevil.

Yeah I know. And Brubaker and Fraction decided to bring back that look and use it as Iron Fist's new suit for his ongoing series. Totally awesome.

[Cthulhudrew]

Whoops- double post.

[Cthulhudrew]

You apparently haven't seen the whole maskless toga look on Thanos.

Or the farmer Ted look, though that may just count as civvies and not a costume.

Plus, he sometimes went pantless in the early days, showing off his manly purple legs.

[Wessner]

[Man-Wolf] doesn't fit the regular character criteria.
Sure he does. The criteria was for the character to have had a starring role in a book. Man-Wolf was the star of Creatures on the Loose from issue #30-37.

[mattx110]

he's not much of a lead character, but has the answer changed much?
you'd think when the concept behind you as a character is the ability to adopt to every situation, you'd have more than one costume.

[Berkey]

what about black bolt? if no one mentioned him yet

[StoneGold]

Sure he does. The criteria was for the character to have had a starring role in a book. Man-Wolf was the star of Creatures on the Loose from issue #30-37.

Yeah, but it could be worse. He could have said Nightcrawler again.

[Jerry W. Loper]

One of the Ronin threads got me thinking, what Marvel hero has had the least number of costume changes? For the sake of argument, we're going to have to limit this to characters who have had a starring role in a book. I think accepting major team book players is OK, but, for instance, Captain Ultra wouldn't, just because he hasn't had enough appearances to bother changing his costume.

Greer Nelson's only had 1 or 2 costumes depending on if you consider original Cat and Tigra different personas.
Cat - yellow & blue catsuit
Tigra - black bikini

[Neptunicus]

There have been several different people in the Deathlok role. Luther Manning and John Kelly were caucasian Michael Collin is african american. That aspect contributes to a bit of comesitc differences. There are also quite a few other - albeit smaller - changes to the Deathlok "outfit".

as per warpath, he's had at least 9 different costumes (including his current look):

http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/spotlight/showquestion.asp?faq=10&fldAuto=110&page=7

[Blake Petit]

Arachne's costume is a modified version of her old Spider-Woman suit... Cloak and Dagger is a good call, though. I can't think of any significant changes to either of them. Unless you're counting when Dagger had short hair.

[The Iron Fist]

Edit, wrong pic.

[The Iron Fist]

Here's a shot of Iron Fist's new suit, from the Immortal Iron Fist #5 preview:

http://www.marvel.com/i/content/st/999new_storyimage6994821_full.jpg

It's a great update from his original suit, and still keeps true to it.

[jcp011c]

Hellcat.

She had her yellow outfit w/ blue mask, and her civilian outfit at Patsy Walker. And she also starred in her own mini somewhere around 1999-2001, too lazy to get my hands on it at the moment. Granted I could be totally missing a huge part of it, since I never read the Defenders...so someone feel free to nix this one if I'm wrong.

[Web of Fear]

Surfer has worns undies in the past and not worn undies in the past and early Galactus didn't wear pants. I'm not kidding. He also had a big G on his chest and has some other subtle changes over time....

http://www.cosmiccomix.com/comics/SilverSurfer/BigG.jpg

If Galactus was going commando, anyone standing underneath him looking up would have got a shock. :eek:

I don't think Darkhawk has had many, either. I know he had two specific looks, and arguably his design has been changed through artist preference/error for a new norm (a softer look, I believe), but I don't think he had any more. And he did have his own book for quite a while, plus recently he's been in Runaways, MTU and now the Loners.

Yeah, Darkhawk only had two. The others are simply artist interpretation. The one in the Loners, is almost spitting image of his original.

[Captain Shady]

Daredevil.

Black Panther.

Elektra.

[Madison Carter]

Uh, I haven't read this whole thread, but there's a major factor that got in the way of this... about 1985 or so...when Jim Shooter and the lawyers at Marvel started worrying that he might sue over ownership of the characters that Marvel Comics was publishing and making their daily bread upon.
Though it was disguised as "Marvel Characters Grow and Change", what was happening was characters were all being altered into a different forms.
Think about it... every Marvel comics hero underwent a significant change...
Iron Man, silver armor
Hulk, broke leg, and then when Grey... got intellegence
Thor, scared and grew beard, along with armor.
Daredevil, gained armor
She-Hulk, wore a costume
Spiderman, switched to black offit
FF, trading in Blue or black outfits...
Avengers led by new leaders...
USAGent takes over for Cap.
Cap America becomes The Captain...
Submariner dons a black webed outfit

It was a move to protect the company from a suit that never materialized.
So, who has had the least changes? I'd guess it was either the Hulk in those torn purple shorts, or the FF in sublte navy Blue or black outfits. Maybe the Thing in his blue shorts and orange scales.
But Thor was pretty stead for years...and Cap was always coming back to his classic images too.

I Thing I've said enough...

Total myth. If there was a potential lawsuit, a change of outfit wouldn't have saved a single one of those characters (see: Boy, Super). I've never understood where this thing even came from.

Shooter just liked change is all. He liked to switch things up a little. The fact that the Sub-Mariner costume mentioned above occured in the 70s, way before Shooter, or that the Iron Man costume was just another in a long, long line of changes couldn't possibly excuse this old rumor, could they?

I can only imagine what the readers in 60s thought when Daredevil went from brown & yellow to red, Iron Man ditched the gold armor, Hulk went from gray to green and Henry Pym changed identities every five panels.

[Madison Carter]

Black Cat has had at least one major costume change, the "gold shoulders & ponytail" look she sported circa the "Missing in Action" series. She's also had lots of minor changes, mostly relating to the amount of cleavage the artist wants to draw.

Not to mention the "bat" masked version that she adopted shortly after the ponytail thing as well as the one from the Claws mini. Not counting minor modifications on her classic suit (more or less fur, cleavage, mask styles), that makes four.

[Cthulhudrew]

UMMM, yeah, I am going with Ka-Zar!

At least two- the traditional loincloth look, and then the blue pants and gloves with boots look he sported in his most recent series.

[StoneGold]

Claws wasn non-continuity, so I'm not sure that actually counts.

[StoneGold]

I can only imagine what the readers in 60s thought when Daredevil went from brown & yellow to red, Iron Man ditched the gold armor, Hulk went from gray to green and Henry Pym changed identities every five panels.

Hulk, probably nothing, because it changed in the second issue. Iron Man already had a costume change prior to the Ditko costume. And no one liked Ant-Man.


Daredevil, definitely though.

[StoneGold]

Has Puck's costume ever changed?

It's hard to say with Alpha Flight, because some of them end up being fakes and clones and stuff, and I'm never sure which ones. I know there was at least a Puck with a different costume.

[Joe Acro]

It's hard to say with Alpha Flight, because some of them end up being fakes and clones and stuff, and I'm never sure which ones. I know there was at least a Puck with a different costume.I know his daughter had a different costume, but I can't think of any glaring changes to his outfit. I found an FAQ that states he's had at least four different costumes.

[Cthulhudrew]

Has Puck's costume ever changed?

He's had at least three that I know of- traditional blue puck, a red and white version of that outfit (fully body- no hairy legs or arms showing) when AF went with a "team theme" at one point, and a version he wore post-Black Raazer with all kinds of utility pouches and things.

Or Shaman's?

At least twice- the orange and green one, and a Walt Simonson designed black and white outfit.

[EDIT- Another one I forgot for Shaman was the Infinity War/Crusade era all black thingy, and Puck's traditional blues had legless and pant versions. Just do a quick Google images search for Puck Alpha Flight and you'll see pretty much all of the variants on the first page.]

[wingsofdamnation]

Claws was non-continuity

Actually, it is.

[StoneGold]

Actually, it is.

Not unless they changed something. That's the whole reason it was a Marvel Knights book. The new Marvel Knights, not the old one.

[Madison Carter]

Like most of the other labels (MAX, etc.) some of the titles are in-continuity, some aren't. Claws is. We had to deal with it in regards to not only the Arcade entry we did a couple of months back, but the Black Cat and White Rabbit entries in this month's upcoming OHOTMU Update #2 as well.
