A Silly Sartorial Question

When it comes to superhero teams, do you like it when they have matching costumes? Think the Fantastic Four, the original five X-Men, maybe the Avengers when they were all rocking the bomber jackets in the '90s. Or do you prefer each character follow their own sense of style? Think, well most all the other teams.

I prefer letting each character go their own way. There's something to be said for presenting a united front, but the variety's nice. Capes work for some characters, but not others. You can even draw some conclusions about the character's personality based on their costume choice. Even if a lot of times, the conclusion is the character doesn't know anything about clothes.

I prefer their own costumes. I can see the original X-Men having matching suits I suppose, but it was better when they got their own individual ones. And the Fantastic Four...well it makes a certain amount of sense for them to match.

Green Lanterns don't all match,but they have a unifying theme going on. But their outfits are more of a uniform than a costume anyway.
