10. Criminal Records On Prison Uniforms - Guardians Of The Galaxy

One of the long-running theories coming out of the original Guardians of the Galaxy focused, oddly enough, on the individual markings each of the heroes had on their prison uniforms. After being jailed, each member is put in matching yellow jumpsuits, with the only differences being the pattern and colour of the lines on the left leg. Fans put together that these must be a reflection of their criminal records, an idea which director James Gunn later expanded upon.

Apparently, the colours stand in for different crimes, including murder, arson, burglary and grievous bodily harm. Gamora's are almost exclusively the same colour, reflecting her long list of murders and assassinations as the daughter of Thanos, while Rocket's cover pretty much everything previously mentioned as well as breaking out of prison and public drunkenness.

Not only is it a nice little detail, but also expands upon both the characters' history and personalities, acting a great reflection of the criminal past they eventually leave behind. Well, mostly leave behind.
