Yellow jacket finds something shinny for the Wasp...mayhem ensues.
From Avengers Annual 3

Gotta be the worst George Perez outfit ever.

Hank finds a gem for Jan and wants to give it to her as a present ( maybe he smacked her or something) Anyway turns out it's the Spectrum Gem and it possess her.

Someone needs to tell him that that costume does not make him look like he has pretty wings like Jan's. It makes him look like a Cadillac from the 1950s. (starring Hank Pym as...The Eldorado!)

...I am all in favor of more beefcake-y cutaway costumes for our male heroes, except when they try, we always end up with horrible, horrible results, like Steve's Nomad costume. Can no one draw a decent scantily-clad man in this day and age?

	OMG, now I want Hank to become The Prius when Jan comes back! I kinda liked the 'open shirt' thing they tried back in those days. Bother Voodoo was particularly hot, IMO, as was Original Recipe Falcon. And if shorts are good enough for athletes, why must our heroes cover every inch of leg? At least some equity. Namor cannot bear the sex symbol mantle alone! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The Prius costume would be silver, self-sustaining, and powered by ants, y/n?

I like the open shirt style on heroes who one would reasonably expect to be bullet-proof or at least able to get out of the way quickly. On characters like Steve it just makes me wince and wait for them to get gutted like a fish. I am with you 100% on the shorts though! Marvel should take a page from DC's book on the appropriateness of spankypants to showcase long, muscular manly legs for their readership.

	Here at least was an attempt of George Perez to give a shot at equal sex appeal. Imagine Black Bolt sporting this when he tumbles with Vulcan ??? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The problem there is that someone will say "Hey, throw some boots and gloves on her, and we've got a NEW Medusa costume!", but the inclination will always be "Hey, cover him up! He doesn't look heroic!" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It makes him look like a Cadillac from the 1950s Given how often Hank and Janet got back together, Hank must have been a good ride. rimshot (Reply to this) (Parent)
