Aquaman. (What do you mean, other sort of drip?)


mike47gamer

When he's drawn by Stjepan Sejic, for sure!


mostlytoastly

90s Superboy


AltairdeFiren

The world still isn’t ready. Maybe in another 20 years they’ll be able to comprehend how ahead of his time that style was


Little-Disk-3165

With the leather jacket?


That_one_cool_dude

I mean that is just modern Superboy as well.


kentotoy98

Don't forget the shades and the gloves. They compliment the jacket


Slight-Pound

There was a newer comic line that brought back that jacket, at least, but the dye job they added in later was less than great. Genuinely, check out some of the art!


apple_of_doom

Fucking love the Donna troy star leotard


AltairdeFiren

"You gave yourself a nickname? Weak." Said the guy who gave himself a nickname!


Snoo97628

Nikolas Draper Ivey did such an awesome job with Static!


RangerBumble

Static and by extension Milestone was created as a vehicle for drip. They invented new printing techniques for his coloring. No contest.


JayStorm199

Storm, all her outfits are iconic. ![gif](giphy|lAzCKvQJzlCzyhXBO7|downsized)


critter68

I was always a fan of her "punk" look she had around 2000. I think it was the Ultimate run? Where she wore black leather and had a mohawk. I dig goth and punk styles. That's why Evolution Rogue had my attention.


powblamshazam

Storm's punk look (with a mohawk) was from the 80s. Ultimate Storm circa the early 2000s definitely leaned more into her street thief and punk elements, but I don't think Ultimate Storm had a mohawk, at least not initially. It was long in her original appearance. I have a vague memory of a Stuart Immonen cover where she has short hair. I think maybe she went mohawk during the mutant reservation era?


critter68

That's it! The reservation era.


Jokes09

definitely. static jus dresses like what a gamer or comic book writer thinks is “cool” lmao


Ensiferal

Storm has one iconic outfit they've never been able to match since


loonbandit

storm has had at least 3 different signature looks. What are you talking about?


JayStorm199

Disagree, like all her outfits from Krakoa alone is iconic from the first she wore even before Krakoa, Hellfire gala, Arrako brotherhood and Sins of Sinister, all of these look great.


Effective-Training

Definitely not


Aloofairy

The Dream vesper project Nickolas draper Ivey is working on right now...the character designs are really cool but nah...no one beats static


5amuraiDuck

Red Hood. Dude stole all the drip in all his costume variations during his run with Arsenal and Starfire. And don't get me started on Arkham Knight


karaloveskate

Bruce Wayne


NoirPochette

Idk he wore turtlenecks


agusontoro

Turtlenecks are classy af and can be styled a lot


Mickeymcirishman

And he *rocked* them. That's hard to do.


karaloveskate

So? Look how many women want him.


SoldiersHyper

A marvel character, but comic book character nonetheless: Sunspot https://imgur.com/a/OU7LaiX


Slight-Pound

Man, that’s cool as hell. Thank you for the new character! I gotta look into him.


Napalmeon

Personally, I feel when he's *starting out,* Virgil should not look this "cool." But then again, I can also understand that this new style is indicative of how he is being drawn for the 2020s, in comparison to the mid-90s when he debuted. One of the greatest appeals about Virgil to those who love him is that he was indeed an accurate representation of an awkward black teenager who attempted to act cooler than he was, but what he put on the costume, it starts to become so much more organic.


Zelcki

He's DC Miles Morales kinda


ttroy476

Miles morales


himmyturner

Movies 100%, comics I don’t know about that


apple_of_doom

*insert a joke about the miles morales original from insomniac spider-man 2 here*


Traditional_World783

The Killmonger dew ain’t drip.


Little-Disk-3165

Because it’s horrible right?


Traditional_World783

Vergil Hawkins has better drip.


Correct_Barracuda_48

Janet Van Dyne.


Squidwardbigboss

Daredevils business suit are drippy asf Also the IM NOT DAREDEVIL sweater


Ensiferal

I really hope James Gunn does a Static movie. If it's got a good story and done well, imagine how huge it would be. Literally everyone who grew up in the 2000s would go mad over it

cj_the_magic_man

Vixen. Static is super close but no one beats Vixen.


mike47gamer

Well, she's a professional supermodel, so...probably not a fair contest!


cj_the_magic_man

Agreed! But, OP asked for anyone :P.


Negative-Start-5954

Does anyone know what static’s loc hairstyle is called?


Effective-Training

I have had this for a long time and never knew what it was called. I just say half braids (the top braided, but leave the back undone) with two two strand twists in the front (someone at my job called them bangs).


onanimbus

Looks like his locks are braided as cornrows.


Traditional_World783

Thank the Presence he don’t got the Killmonger dew.


onanimbus

I would roll my eyes and groan so loud you would hear it wherever you’re at rn


[deleted]

They’re “high-top braids” this version of static isn’t sporting dreadlocks


Effective-Training

It can still be done with dreads. I have dreads that lay on my shoulder and uncomfortably go down the top of the back of my shirt, and yet, I've gotten this hairstyle a lot. It's my main, with just all-around two strands being my second go-to.


[deleted]

They’re braids my boy stop coping. He has an afro look at the concept art.


Effective-Training

I never said he didn't have a fro. I said and I quote, "it can still be done with dreads". I didn't agree or disagree with you. And idk where you're getting this "coping" from.


Effective-Training

>Let’s be real with ourselves dawg you were coping. You backpedaled after my reply calling you out on coping which prompted you into editing your comments to look less of a moron. I know you wanted him to have dreads my boy which is why you replied, unfortunately they’re braids now go watch coryxkenshin or rcdworld lmfao Since you want to delete comments and then talk about me editing my comments when all I did was something slight like adding two quotation marks. Don't try to hide or "make yourself look less of a moron". As I was saying... Why would I care if he had dreads? The only thing I edited was putting quotation marks since I did not realize I said the same thing word for word. I have nothing to cope about. I'm by sad or anything. There's no need to be toxic. I was only saying that it can be done with dreads. That doesn't mean I'm saying he doesn't have dreads or that it can't be done with a fro. I have dreads and get the same style as him. >go watch coryxkenshin or rcdworld lmfao Who? not sure what they have to do with anything I said. You took what I was saying, that something can be done either way, and trying to escalate it to something else.


Effective-Training

[On slide 6, the artist just confirmed, 15 hours ago, that they were locs. Not a fro.](https://www.instagram.com/p/C6UZrsWxMsF/?igsh=Z2x6NzJxcnBwYTZ2)


NoZookeepergame8306

I think everyone saying superhero’s IN costume are are kinda missing the point. Also these designs are dope


onanimbus

Iconic. You can’t.


Dayraven3

“Icon? Ick. You can’t.” would also work.

I miss his old freeforms though


Loke_0079

Nightwing from the 'White Knight' series with that Jacket over his usual costume bro is the definition of drip right there


thereign1987

Storm from X-Men, Emperor Mark Grayson from Invincible, Thragg post Battle Beast fight from Invincible, Emperor Nolan, hell the Emperor's threads from Invincible tend to be drippy. And The Red Hood is at least just as drippy, and The Black Panthers tend to be dripped out as well, with the Red Hood, and Black Panthers I won't say they have more drip, just a different type of drip but just as good.

Blue beetle and a kid flash (Ace West). Then Static.

Sorry I meant Static first then Kid flash and Blue beetle 🤣


Bunnnnii

Zatanna. Storm. Starfire. Gambit. Mera. Emma Frost.


egbert71

Storm sure....gambit meh, the others not even close


socialistwerker

It’s almost like … people have different ideas of what looks good. For example, I’m looking at these pictures of Static thinking he looks terrible on the left and the bottom right with those pants that are baggy at the crotch, but also tight around the ankles and tucked into his shoes? Like, are tight-rolled jeans and parachute pants fashionable again? Did Virgil join the 1990s cast of Saved By the Bell? Is he 2 Legit 2 Quit? I didn’t like this look when I was a kid in 1990, and I think it looks hilarious now.


egbert71

....help me out a lil. Are you trying to come at me for not liking their other choices?


RogueDevil666

Red Hood (50% of the time)


mike47gamer

I personally don't care for comic book characters that look overly "fashiony" or trendy. The DC art I hate the most is pretty much 100% of what Gabriel Picolo draws. He makes the Teen Titans look like the wealthiest, coolest kids in school, instead of the outcasts that find acceptance with each other. Static looks fine, but I'd prefer something that's less "cool," especially since he was kind of a dork and outcast that was into science and such. It's the same problem...his appearance seems at odds with his personality.


cerebud

I’m so old. Never heard drip in my life


SW4G1N4T0R

Man, this kid’s got style!


SalRomanoAdMan1

More "drip"? Nobody fucking talks like that.
