Cool story, too-a barbarian wearing high-tech armor! I always have found that fascinating! It lets us see who’s in there, which I prefer.
Oddly enough, I don’t care for Iron Man’s helmet-any of them! I do, however, like X-O Manowar’s headpiece. And those Judge helmets certainly did that! Those weird eye slots always made me pay attention! It made sense that, as a future cop, he’d wear something strong to protect his head. Oh, yeah! I liked that golden helmet! I’ve actually stopped to take photos of cosplayers who have worn an excellent Fate helmet to cons! I’m sure this is a tough wear in real life, but I still like it! I like the later ones fine, but that first one really drew me in.ĭr. I liked it because it was different from the red-and-blue outfit he wore (didn’t every hero in that era wear that kind of costume?). You know, the one with the microphone over his mouth so he can communicate with the ants. He’s worn several different helmets, but my favorite remains that very first one. I guess it’s saying something that I like helmets because they often protect the brain, the part of most heroes I admire most!Īnt-Man. Yeah, I dig that strange and wonderful headpiece he wears! It draws my attention to his head, which is an important part of the character. Love that headpiece! I don’t like when they add Hawkman’s wings to it, though. Again, he’s my favorite Marvel character. You knew that was coming if you have read my columns! It’s functional, cool-looking, and represents the character! Yup, a favorite!īlack Knight. I don’t necessarily put heroes in “top 10” order. Let me point out the heroes I like who wear “different” helmets. However, he’s one of the heroes I like a lot just because he wears a “bad ass” helmet, as someone else once described it. For instance, Peacemaker is riding high at the moment, and they’ve simplified his “toilet seat cover” helmet quite a bit.
Granted, how a helmet looks on paper is a LOT different from how they would appear in real life. I often believe that it’s art that draws us into a comic, but it’s the story that keeps us coming back for more… at least, that’s how I seem to buy comics! I remember being stunned the first time I saw that done. I remember in the late 1960s when they changed his cape from just a piece of cloth laying on his back to what seemed to be a living thing, swirling around the Caped Crusader, making it look like it was something as alive as he was. The Angel was my favorite X-Man, for example.īatman is my best guy, and a lot of that is because of his cape.
I’m big on angelic characters, for instance. Every so often, when I am enjoying a comics story with a certain character, I try to examine WHY I like that person, be it hero or villain.įor instance, I know I’m interested in those who wear a cape or have wings.
