Black Panther’s early costume designs were extremely “form fitting”.
Superhero costumes all seem to be a mixture between Spandex and extra-small polyester and while the Black Panther costume came out looking pretty awesome, the original versions of the costume took Spandex to a whole new level.
The form fitting costume designs were revealed by artist Jerad S. Marantz, who recently posted it to his art blog. Marantz describes the work as an early pass on Black Panther for Marvel’s Visiaul development team – and while the style is very Black Panther-ish, it’s still very different the design chosen by Marvel executives. And it’s not just form fitting, it looks alike a human body with no layer of skin similar to the Venom is Spider-Man 3. There’s a ton of detail in the costume, and features the iconic mask first illustrated in the comic books.
Even though, this would have been just as good.
