So who's the ultimate nineties super-hero design?
- Thread starter RedVejigante
- Start date
He is the son of Quantum, a man with a unique gene that gives him amazing magnetic powers, who has declared war on humanity after his wife was killed by humans that hate and feared themWell yeah, just look at these shoulderpads and those forearm things.
But the WildCats are bargain bin X-Men.
Maybe the ultimate 90s character is a mutant, not sure who I would choose between Gambit or Adam-X. One is the cool 90s and the other the lame 90s.

Why the hell does the Hulk need a gun?
I also voted for Azrael because his the one that sticks out the most as something that wouldnt work today.

Wildcats is the only one of those teams that survived the transition to modern comics, the Grifter mask is practically iconic
Gambit & Psylocke are pretty goddamn 90's, but my shout out goes to Shatterstar!

You just made me put in a late pledge to get this game. I'm wary because I was let down by Marvel Champions and its lack of engaging gameplay but one of the stretch bonuses was Captain Britain and I had to have it.
Here's his 90s costume, which is in every way worse than his iconic one. The 90s part is the hair, which is his second worst haircut.
*chuckles* A less then trustworthy guy assembles a bunch of genetic advanced folks for a team. A team that has a love trangle that involves a psychic as one of the pieces.

That's joe Fixit, whose entire persona was Las Vegas enforcer so that makes sense.
I don't know if this is apocryphal but I remember reading something from one of the creators (unsure which one) about how they were basically told by higher ups to come up with like the most edgy shit possible to cash in on 90s trends, and this is what they made.
Bruh
You'll have a harder time finding art of Spawn without a pouch belt around one of his legs.

You're a mod. If you really cared about our well-being you would have locked it already.
Does the OP mean a good design or one that is emblematic of the 90s? Cause if it's a good design, I think Spawn holds up well. If it's "this design is emblematic of the 90s" then it's gotta be cable.
Wtf is happening to his right leg! It's like the artist just completely gave up any attempt at anatomy.You just made me put in a late pledge to get this game.

Funny and accurate as it is, weren't they all with Marvel at that point? He's basically saying "oh you guys suck in so many ways".
My older brother used to collect these.
One of the earliest subplots involved Jackie saving the life of a grad student he had previously been extorting for sex (as payment for getting behind on her mafia-backed student loans), and an enemy who was empowered by sexual violence.
With unbiased eyes, Spawn is 90s, edgy, and good. None of the others in the poll pull off all three
Jubliee's design is also fantastic, and since she first appeared in '89, then she counts as 90s imo.

Little disappointed that Spawn is so handily thrashing this poll. I get that Spawn is an incredibly iconic 90s comic hero in a lot of ways, but IMO he's too legitimately cool to represent the level of cornball that I associate with 90s comics. Cable IMO has always personified the aesthetic of so many 90s macho beefshit comic heroes and OP really picked an S-tier art example of this
