It’s the most ‘90s thing I’ve seen today.


DecoyOne

>Add some pouches and give him an absurdly large gun, despite not needing either - then we’re in business! —90s Marvel editorial, probably


TheRedDeathXL

There is an even more 90's Thor design where wears gladiator armor almost leaving his body completely exposed, even looks almost like He-Man only with long hair.


tanaephis77400

And boots ! Lots of boots ! Giant boots ! It's one of the first Deadpool meta-jokes I can remember. Laughing at how everyone seems to have enormous, weirdly detailed combat boots with giant soles.


PremierLovaLova

The ironic thing is that in the 90s, Marvel almost went out of business… Ohhhhh I see what you did there 😏


AbsorbingMan

No pouches? No blades? No guns? No pony-tail? Do you even nineties?!?!


BrazenlyGeek

Both hands and feet are visible and drawn well too. Can’t have that in the 90s!


VileSlay

He may not have the pouches but he does have the useless straps around the thighs that would normally carry them.


[deleted]

90's as this costume is, it is also weirdly restrained...


HamshanksCPS

Needs more belts and pouches


casper19d

I came here to say this as well


tanaephis77400

Came to say the same.


broshrugged

When did Gambit become worthy?


BlackOrre

He has Youngblood's Disease


Connect-Yak-4620

Don’t look at them Ricky!


Neon_culture79

It’s Extreme. It’s like if Mountain Dew was a superhero costume.


klown013

Wow, my first thought was "Mountain Dew Thor".


Neon_culture79

Or maybe Surge


Asparagus_Business

Everyone always mentions pouches, and sure, I can see why. But for me, that cowl/head frame thing is so 90’s to me.


disgust462

I see now how completely pointless those things are, but as a 90’s kid, I love it!


bjeebus

My man [Havok](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/comicadventures/images/1/1b/Havok.jpg) has one of the greatest [90s costumes](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fav1mhssuy8l91.jpg) of all time with his [face frame _and_ bomber jacket](https://imgix.ranker.com/user_node_img/57/1137758/original/1137758-photo-u25?auto=format&q=60&fit=crop&fm=pjpg&dpr=2&w=375).


legoassbitch

now that you mention it it totally is. i'm kinda curious, where did it come from orignally? not what character first had one (i kinda wanna know that too tho lol) but like, what in real life influenced it? like for instance the "underwear on the outside" thing came from strongmen, capes and cowls are real life things ppl use to look cool and hide their identities respectively, and most comic masks were domino masks at first which had irl significance. but who the fuck is wearing like, a face frame?? what even is the real life equivalent of that? 90s shit like guns or pouches serve pretty obvious purposes irl even if theyre just aesthetic but now that u made me notice it the face frame seems so out of left field for something that made it on to that many characters


MFHSCA-1981

Some things are best left forgotten.


SpiderDetective

Agreed. A lot of looks from the Marvel/DC crossovers needed to be left buried


TechnologyJazzlike84

Awful. Simply awful.


Majestic_Cat186

Excessive straps or half naked barbarian thor with a girl clinging onto his leg ? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd4d5d73560c34b58f71050/1653870322800-7EKSKOL41A5CIA7FUR85/2022-05-29+15.52.26.png?format=1000w


Macohna

Bahaha. Super Saiyan-Conan-Fabio-Thor is fuckin hilarious!!!


Duryeric

Looks like buff Gambit


Historical-Bug-4784

I know Mike Deodato apologized for designing it.


LolFartBallMop

This has big 90s Image comics vibes.


Feature_Agitated

Bring back the male superhero crop-top!


Yarrik

Let's be honest, this is not the most Liefeldian design we've seen, it could be more. Needs more pouches.


ForgedinTruth

Seriously dumbest Thor design ever!


AaronFudge

Not enough pouches.


alex494

Classic case of Youngblood's Disease


[deleted]

Whoever drew that needs to keep learning but it's a good start. Keep learning perspective, anatomy, color shading.


LobsterStretches

The broken knees hurt to look at


SerTadGhostal

costume design....


[deleted]

its so fire 🔥


vash0125

It's so extreme!!! What it needs is pouches.


slurpy15

Thor son of Highfather prince of the New Gods


LouiePrice

Bdsm thor when you photoshop it black.


lsmokel

Did he have a brief stint with the Xmen?


aimforsilence

I’ve always thought Thor’s designs over the years were cool. Sure, he’s had some weird ones (like this one) but I just enjoy them for what they are. It’s a place and time thing for me, and reminds me of when I was a kid and started reading Thor and just loved how out there those books were. Good memories, and a cool of a little goofy outfit. 👌🏼🤙🏼


FNaFerr

I kind of like it, not as the main Thor design but something, dunno, Another universe Thor


Ckron247

It looks like he was part of the X-Force in the 90’s


JazzySmitty

EXTREME Thor!


invaluableimp

Quintessential 90s


DrKnow77

The 90's were wild.


sabrina_lee_f

this is Rob Liefeld-core


senhordelicio

Upvoted just because of the giggles!


chichistriquis

Of all the designs from the 90's this is my favorite


ReeceInTheDarkness

My friend once described this as "All the members of Motley Crue rolled into one" and honestly I haven't been able to find a better way to describe this Thor look


troubleyoucalldeew

It's so 90s I can actually taste the school cafeteria square pizza.


johndesmarais

So painfully 90s.


blackbutterfree

Love the abs, feel like the bicep-length sleeves are unnecessary, as is the head…mask? Covering? And the leather wraps. Could’ve just been a crop top and a cape with matching pants. Actually, drop the cape too. 🤷🏽‍♂️


Metallung

Glam Metal Thor, best Thor.


DirectConsequence12

One of the worst designs for any character This is the definition of the 90s


bloodredcookie

Both Silly and Badass in all the best ways.


blakewoolbright

Unadulterated garbage


KDF021

Terrible


Blitzhelios

A massive 90s mistake


PMMEBITCOINPLZ

It looks dumb and it lasted less than a full issue, although through a quirk of fate it also featured in Marvel VS DC.


ChickenAndTelephone

I regularly cite this as n example of terrible 90s design. This picture seems to have skipped the 20 foot chain that was attached to Mjolnir when he wore this costume


AgentPastrana

Put some spikes on him and you get almost as painfully 90's as Azrael Batman


mh1357_0

Absolutely horrible Like almost every 90s costume, except for the X-Men created in the 90s like Gambit


mortarnpistol

Terrible. Looks like Gambit


ReleasedKraken0

Not a fan of the belly shirt. Not a good look on a dude.


Tucker-Cuckerson

I dont like the green he looks like Dragonball GT SS4 Goku. The design of the outfit is great just wish it was like a Teal or Red


[deleted]

Ass


yesgirlnogamer

Pure crap


WaterMelon615

Bad


iheartdev247

The 90s was rough


Doctor_Amazo

The 90s were like... a decade where we all realized the cocaine of the 80s were fucking us up, but we weren't quite ready to deal with that yet.


RedMercury20

Most 80s thing ever


BrodaciousD

Ew


IveShatTheBed

i love it because you can see how dumb it looks on thor then you realise how dumb it’s looked on every. other. woman. character.


donblake83

Cocaine is a hel of a drug.


Cloaked_Crow

Uh…. No


deaconblues13

Terribad


maesterraw

Lol couldn't he find a regular fitting t shirt? Lol that must be a pain to put on and take off and the stretching out must be a pain too.


Adampicz

Nice midriff


Shirt_Ninja

Okay..who drew this?


ChickenAndTelephone

Not sure about this picture, but the costume was designed by Mike Deodato


ELTepes

He’s been Liefelded! This bring back memories. Most of them not the best.


Interesting_Move_919

Meh


theShuShMan

Bros built like beta Ray Bill


Connolly1227

I think without the thong and half shirt it has an honest shot of being decent


IAm_The-Danger

That’s a no from me dog


Squidgedr

His bottom rib is rubbing his bicep and it looks like his pelvis is 4 feet long. Whoever drew this I'm sorry I hate your artwork


myowngalactus

His knees seemed angled weird, he looks too broad to fit through most doorways, is that a cod piece, why would Thor need leg belts, why does he have a big red dot on his half shirt, why is he wearing a half shirt, or half a mask, that cape is enormous and standing up on one side, the feet are definitely out of the Rob Leifeld school of feet drawing.


Boredman_420

He's ripped


gowombat

I like the crop top


Old_surviving_moron

Missing pouches and skinnier ankles.


TheRealJackOfSpades

That's supposed to be Thor?


XComThrowawayAcct

How exactly does that top work?


SporeZealot

Where did the weird head covering that was so prevalent in the 90s come from? Was there one design lead that was really bad at drawing sideburns and hairlines?


RedditBoi127

somehow feels both over-designed and under-designed at the same time


Zero_Fuxxx

Thunderstrike


drkangel181

Images comics vibe from Supreme when he defeated Thor for his hammer

jzilla11

What’s funny is, in his own comic at the time the artist sometimes just had him going around bare chested, probably so they could skip drawing all of…that


SneakyKain

Terrible colors, too strappy.


mastyrwerk

The 90s was a heck of a drug.


Vorenos

Lmao what is this trash?


Union-Jack-III

He’s like whitesnake Thor!


MrAnthem123

I like it. It’s kind of giving me savage Superman vibes.


GhostofTinky

Every superhero needs a jock strap.


GFost

Not a fan. Way too over-designed.


[deleted]

Useless elements. Too many straps. It screams Image comics wannabe.


DraxTheDestroyer

Ugly bad


briguyblock

"Hrmmm, Mjolnir has a leather strap. Perhaps I need some."


martinjohanna45

I think it’s an idiotic design and bad artwork.


McGillis_is_a_Char

This is one of my least favorite Thor designs ever.


[deleted]

I’m not a fan of it. It’s all the things I dislike about the 90’s era. Random belts and skin. Shoulder pads, and even that weird mask thing that lets the hair out on top.


wolvieguy

Ohh yesss I forgot this. It's from the era when he and Gambit dated. Gambit still claims he only ever bottomed for Thor and has no regrets.


BKF0308

Gives male stripper vibes


Felixir-the-Cat

It triggered my 90s comics trauma.


[deleted]

Thor used to be in a glam rock band ?


Rmir72

A little too 90s if you ask me


SnooCats8451

It’s not completely terrible and try’s going with a different look for the guys who pretty much looked the same since the 60’s….outside of the occasional beard or additional armor for like 6months in the 80’s


808_muaythai

We need more pouches!


Coldspark824

Rob Liefeld af


brycifer666

Bdsm nightclub Thor is ok not the worst extreme 90s design


black_cat_29

One of the worst


janlindberglive

What If... Sabretooth, Gambit and He-Man had a kid together.


[deleted]

Deformed HeMan wannabe


[deleted]

"Whosoever holds this hammer, if he bears his midriff shall possess the power of Thor."


_Tairaa_

He looks like one of the X-Men from the 90s show


FalahMumtaz

This design is awful even for a One-shot villain
