Avengers Results - Part 3

Avengers submissions are slowly trickling in, and as the week starts, we've got another fantastic one to share with you all:

Edgar Binuya
"Black Panther: I brought in concepts from the Wakandan flag on the trim of his gloves, boots, and cape. That along with the addition of straps mid-thigh and bicep, I think, evoke more of an African warrior look. I'm not sure if he still has the kimoyo cards. They're really not portrayed if he does. I portrayed them here and changed the shape so that they actually look like some sort of card but maintain that 'fang' look when arranged across on his belt and straps.

"Ant-Man: This design is the return of Henry Pym as Ant-Man. He apparently always had an interest in the capabilities of ants to conduct research and design equipment based on them in the first place. This is him embracing that and, once again, using the theme. He will use all of the abilities that he has ever exhibited in all of his past guises. The middle ant legs in the design are actually robotic arms that come from his back-pack that itself is his "Rover" robotic ship when grown to its actual size.

"Wasp: I really liked the design of her latest costume so this is pretty close to that. I just thought that the skin tight black sneaking suit look was best left to the Black Widow. I extended the yellow armored parts and opened up her neckline to differentiate the look. She didn't need a sneaking suit anyway when she can shrink in size to be stealthy.

"Pulsar: I really liked the long coat look she has sported recently but wanted to incorporate more into the costume as opposed to just wearing it over. I looked at typical depictions of actual pulsars to come up with a new icon and worked it into a stylized 'P.'

"Hercules: I really wanted to cover up the bare chest. I never really cared for that look in a modern day superheroics setting. I went with a modern take on a greek leather curass. I just had to make the lion head more prominent. I wanted to make it a helmet but decided that would cover up his head too much and make him unrecognizable as Marvel's version."
