15 Best Superhero Redesigns
2. Carol Danvers - Captain Marvel
This was less a redesign and more a revolution for Carol Danvers, with her whole look being revamped as she took up her new title. The moniker of Ms. Marvel is currently held by Kamala Khan, with Danvers taking up the mantle of Captain in 2012.
It’s likely the upcoming Brie Larson movie will skip past the Ms. phase she’s had for the majority of her career, and that’s in part because of how popular her redesign has been.
The old Ms. Marvel look, with the black leotard and the bare legs, has been switched for blue overalls with a red trim and yellow star at the centre in place of the old lightning bolt, courtesy of artist Jamie McKelvie. Overall, it’s got a much more kickass vibe, reminiscent of top gun pilot and much more suited to her power as one of the strongest Avengers ever.
Her old flowing haircut, while it did make for some nice art, has been chopped short in a much more practical do that exhudes strength, confidence and control. This one places so highly because it doesn’t just represent a new outfit, but rater Danvers’ rebirth.
