but twice:
And this is cutting him a break, because his very first costume wasn't exactly iconic, either. This last look, from the 1992 mini-series, was an attempt to make him a cross between the X-Men's Wolverine and the Beast. Despite being a relatively cool cat in the Legion, and a guest appearance from the Creeper (which is almost always a good time), this mini led to... well, absolutely nothing but the Costume Hall of Shame.
To this day, I have a hard time forgiving Timber Wolf for that awful mini-series. It's like when a pretty girl burps. You try to look past it, but that memory is always in the room, know what I mean?

And while I'm on the subject of crappy costumes from the 80's, check out this two-fer from Infinity, Inc when they relaunched Hour-Man and Dr. Mid-Nite. Not only are these things straight outta Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, but the classic looks were so cool that they're still used today with only some minor tweaks. You shouldn't mess with the classics *cough* Sandman! *cough*

What? Fly in an airplane I built myself out of cheap parts? Why, I'd be stupid not to!
Heh. That made me feel a little better. See you tomorrow!

Man... when I was like sixteen, I struck a conversation with the prettiest girl in my classroom, and she had a monster-sized loogie dangling from her nose. That sure did turn me off. I had no desire for her since then...in fact, that's partially the reason I got into comics in the first place, I guess.

Wait, are you talking about the lame second-costume golden age Sandman, or the Neil Gaiman version of the character. Because he kicked ass.
I liked the first Timber Wolf costume change, I just didn't like the facial reconstruction that went along with it.
I never noticed how bad TW's costumes were. I was too busy cringing whenever poor Cham showed up in mauve and yellow (with those put-your-eye-out-shoulder-point things that belong only on elves). That color combo hurts my eyes whenever I think about it.
Really, I don't think that first TW is so bad. Maybe if the legs had all been one dark color... He's still classier than Hank Pym.

Right before this one, TW had a decent look. And the Cockrum-era where he had his "wolf" face was a classic. This one was just too much for me.
And I'm talking about the green-suited Sandman with the fedora hat and the gas gun. I hated the yellow and purple look.
Bwhahahahahaha! Oh God, I am crying TEARS of laughter at Hourman's costume. What possible purpose could those boots have?
But Timberwolf's outfit is pretty lame too. Although I have to say that Rokk's Space Corset is still my absolute favorite horrible costume.
Adam, you mentioned Cockrum, who had SO many great costume designs, especially for the women- Phoenix, Ms Marvel, Storm, Saturn Girl, all have a similarity that is still sexy, and cool.
BUT may I say those flappy bucaneer boots for the male superheroes are an abomination. I SAID GOOD DAY SIR! They are so godawful, and I think it's Cockrum's doing. Those awful bell-bottom boots on superheroes - the ugly, it hurts. Capt. America can keep his, but dear God, there was no need for so many supers to wear them. FUGLY.
Just silly-looking.
Loved that TW mini, but I think that's less a costume, than the pair of pants he was wearing at the time, like the Hulk or something. Or pajama bottoms.
Hey, the first Timber Wolf wasn't that bad. I have to agree that the furry look just doesn't suit him at all.
I have noticed from this blog that you really love comics, and that this is just your special way of showing it. I'll talk to a doctor about this.

Can I have a prescription, too?

Yeah, it's called, comicitis. It means you're afraid to show your love for comics.
