15 Best Superhero Redesigns

let’s just get that out of the way - Deadpool’s standard red costume with the black trim is brilliant. This redesign for the X-Force storyline isn’t included here because of anything being shed, but instead because this one-off costume was such a great switch up that fit the narrative perfectly.

This time around, Deadpool’s distinctive red was replaced with grey, which if anything made him stand out even more. For all he’s a man of extreme violence, Deadpool can sometimes be a little black and white about things too, so the costume was fitting thematically there.

Really, the reason this change was so successful was because his original costume was so great, that any small changes would probably come off as pointless tweaks. By going for a much bigger change the costume can do its own thing, while keeping the basic design means it’s still recognisably Deadpool.

Ryan Reynolds teamed up with a deliberately goofy and comedic version of X-Force in Deadpool 2, but there is apparently a more accurate version of X-Force being lined up for a movie in the future. Perhaps then we’ll see Deadpool’s monochrome suit gain more recognition.
