They got rid of the stupid thing and then put him back in it? Wow.
It's interesting to me that some superhero/villain costumes stand the test of time, or even if they have flaws they become such icons that we're willing to overlook them, (Magneto, Superman, Spiderman) while others seem cool in one era and dorky in the next, (the original X-Men's "individualized" costumes) and others are just plain bad and stay that way. (Havoc)
I like Havoc's costume.
Yeah, me too. It was immediately distinctive. Nobody else had a planetary orbital model on their head.
No one else had that kind of balance!

Heh. I am now imagining a geek superhero who makes his costume so complex that it requires all of his superpowers just to maintain the costume. "Can't fight. Supervillains....Must telekinetically maintain orbiting costume accessories in perfect alignment with....Transit of Venus."
Sorry, the fact it looks like you could shred cheese with his skull, combined with that gemstone-thing in the middle of his forhead and the funky mask that makes his face looked stretched out just doesn't work for me.
Havok's headpiece is a lot smaller now. Less wide orbits.
Your link's wonky, Snacky -- it should be this.
And they haven't come full circle yet.
Thanks, ita. Wow, costume #4 is bad, isn't it?
