The Conner Kent Superboy costume history

The teenaged tactile-telekinetic clone of Superman, Conner Kent (also called Kon-El) has worn quite a few costumes as Superboy. He began his career believing he was Superman after escaping the genetics lab that created him. His black, blue and red Superman uniform had a cape, but it was torn off in the escape and Conner replaced it with a black leather jacket. When he met the real Superman, Connerr assumed the alias Superboy. When he lost his tactile-telekinetic powers, Superboy was basically powerless aside from some limited enhanced strength. He created a new costume to supplement his lost abilities. His new costume (consisting of a black Superman t-shirt, blue jeans, red gloves, and red boots) was enhanced by an anti-gravity flight ring and a wristband that could expand into a shield. After he regained his lost powers, Conner was dismayed to learn that his original costume was called outdated. Superboy donned a more streamlined costume with all the black accents replaced with red, a red-and-blue jacket, and red goggles. He soon simplified his look even more by getting rid of the jacket and goggles. When Conner was sent to live with Superman's adoptive family in Smallville, he replaced his costume with a simple outfit consisting of a black-and-red Superman t-shirt, blue jeans, and black  boots.

After the evens of New 52, Superboy's history was rebooted. Instead of being Superman's clone, the new Superboy (who went by his his Kryptonian name of Kon-El) was the clone of Superman's future son. Possessing immense telekinetic powers, Superboy wore a hi-tech black-and-red bodysuit that kept his cells charged with the solar energy he needed to fuel his abilities. And now a younger version of the original Conner Kent has entered the New 52 timeline, wearing a spiked, punk version of his first costume.

The Tim Drake Robin/Red Robin costume history

Tim Drake was the third person to assume the mantle of Robin and serve as Batman's sidekick, and has also been the third person to assume the mantle of Red Robin. Tim has worn a quite a few costumes as a teenaged vigilante. Tim fist assumed the role of Robin when he deduced Batman's identity and realized that without a Robin to balance him out, the Caped Crusader was spiraling into darkness. Tim's Robin costume was based on the outfit worn by the original Robin, Dick Grayson, but with added touches. No longer would Robin wear green shorts and a red tunic. As Robin Tim wore an armored red vest and green leggings, and replaced the pixie boots of the original Robin with black combat boots and lined the outside of the yellow cape with black for additional stealth. He even altered the R logo into a sharp yellow emblem that could be thrown as a shuriken. Tim wore his Robin costume until the death of his best friend Superboy, and wore a new black-and-red costume (Superboy's color scheme) to honor him. Tim's new suit also had touches of Batman's costume, as it had black trunks and gloves with scalloped spikes. When Batman's son Damian Wayne was given the Robin identity, Tim was crushed. He left the Bat-team and decided to wear the Red Robin costume that had been briefly worn by Jason Todd, the second Robin (and the costume worn by a future version of Dick Grayson). The black cowl and armored emblem gave the former Boy Wonder a more menacing look. When he reconciled with Batman he streamlined his Red Robin suit, adding lightweight armor and added the scalloped spikes back to his gloves. When Tim found himself in a bizarre cyberspace reality called the Unternet, he discovered his Red Robin suit had been altered, as his cowl was now a sharply pointed mask and his suit was primarily black with red boots and a red bird emblem.

After the events of Flashpoint created the New 52 continuity, Tim's history was altered. In this new reality, Tim was recruited by Batman and became Red Robin early on as he felt it was too soon to replace Jason Todd as Robin when the world assumed the second Robin had been killed by the Joker. Tim's first Red Robin costume was similar to his second Robin costume, only more armored and without the black trunks (and with a stylized red mask). When Tim left Batman after Damian became Robin, he created a hi-tech Red Robin costume that combined elements of the Robin costume with that of the original Red Robin costume. His new suit even had glider wings that allowed Red Robin to fly. When Tim finally returned to work with Batman, he created a suit that looked very similar to his original Robin costume, except he changed the symbol to two interlocking R's and wore green boots instead of black.

The Mattie Franklin (Spider-Woman III) Costume history.

Despite being Spider-Woman for little more than a year, Mattie Franklin has worn a lot of costumes. Her first costume was based on the classic Spider-Man costume, minus the web designs and with the addition of a ponytail. After a villain stole her powers, Mattie retired the costume, and when she got them back she briefly wore a makeshift costume of a navy-and-green leotard with a domino mask and high-heeled boots. Afterwards, Mattie designed a blue-and-red costume with a spider-symbol (similar to the one on Spider-Man's back) and large web wings. Shortly after she altered that costume, changing the blue to black, shortening the gloves and adding spider-patterned shorts. Still not satisfied, she removed the web wings and then added a red cowl with a black spider emblem, a larger spider-emblem on the chest, and black-and-red gloves and leggings. When the woman who stole her powers returned, Mattie showed up to fight her wearing a purple one-piece bathing suit with a black spider emblem,  with matching mask, gloves, and high-heeled ankle boots. Thankfully Mattie retired that costume quickly and designed a new navy-and-silver costume with a silver spider-symbol and web wings. Finally, Mattie came up with a Spider-Woman costume would keep with for the rest of her career, a black-and-red costume with a very stylized spider-symbol and shorter, scallop-edged web wings.

Comparing the legacy of Supergirl and Spider-Woman

Supergirl and Spider-Woman are both the female counterparts of iconic heroes who wear blue-and-red costumes, but that isn't the only similarities these two superheros share.

The Originals: Kara Zor-El and Jessica Drew were the first women to become Supergirl and Spider-Woman respectively. Both women became superheroes due to their parents trying to save them from radiation poisoning. Kara Zor-El was born on a chunk of Krypton that had been converted into the floating city of Argo after the planet's destruction. When meteorites pierced the atmospheric shield of the city, they unleashed Kryptonite radiation in the ground. Dying of exposure to the lethal radiation, Kara's parents sent her to Earth to live with her cousin Kal-El aka Superman in the city's only escape rocket. On Earth, she was found by her cousin and assumed the identity of Supergirl. Jessica Drew lived on a mountain that had high levels of uranium in the ground. When she showed signs of radiation poisoning, her father put her in a pod that infused her with spider-DNA since spiders had radiation resistance. Jessica hibernated in the pod for years when she emerged as a spider-powered adult. Despite having no connection to Spider-Man, she was called Spider-Woman.  Both woman became iconic heroes for a while until it was decided they both had to die. Kara died fighting the Anti-Monitor, while Jessica died fighting Morgan Le Fay (Jessica was revived but lost all her powers in the process)

                               
Psychic replacements: When Kara died and Jessica was de-powered, each was replaced by a new hero using the Supergirl and Spider-Woman names. Both women used psionic energy to mimic having Kryptonian and spider-based powers. Linda Danvers became Supergirl when she merged with a protoplasmic lifeform called Matrix. After the merge, Linda found that she had telekinesis; a power she used to fly, surround herself with a protective shield that mimicked invulnerability, boost her strength, and fire psionic force blasts. Julia Carpenter was tricked into being part of a government experiment to create superheroes. An injection of spider venom mixed with plant extracts turned Julia into the the new Spider-Woman with the power to create webs of solid psychokinetic energy. Her psionic powers also allowed her to cling to walls by psychokinetically bonding her fingers and toes to any surface.

Both Linda and Julia recieved new powers that ended up with the two getting sidelined. Linda briefly became an Earth-born Angel of Fire while she was Supergirl. She lost her angelic abilities, only to have them unexpectedly returned and then she was trapped in Hell. Julia became Madame Web when Cassandra Webb died in her arms and gave all her psychic powers to Julia. However a cosmic event involving all the spider-powered heroes in the multiverse caused the new Madame Web to fall into a coma and awaken after the event ended stripped of all her powers.

Third try was not the charm: Cir-El and Mattie Franklin were the third Supergirl/Spider-Woman iterations. Cir-El was the genetically engineered daughter of Superman created by an evil organization to be their own Supergirl, and Mattie gained super-strength and flight from a evil magic ritual and used those powers to assume the mantle of Spider-Woman. Both Cir-El and Mattie had unusual powers. Cir-El could fire a blast of red solar radiation from her entire body, while Matte gained the power to sprout psychically powered spider-legs from her back after fighting an evil version of Spider-Woman. However they weren't popular with the fans and both were quickly gotten rid of.

Back again: Kara and Jessica were brought back as Supergirl and Spider-Woman with new origins. Kara was now placed on a ship along with her baby cousin when Krypton was exploding. She was supposed to take care of her cousin, but her ship crashed into an asteroid and Kara was trapped in suspended animation for decades. She was eventually freed by the asteroid's destruction and she finally made her way to Earth where she became Supergirl. Jessica Drew was revealed to have been exposed to a bio-energy beam containing spider-DNA while in the womb due to experiments her father was performing for HYDRA. Her powers were returned and she once again became Spider-Woman.

Marvel Boy/Justice Costume History

Vance Astrovik had no idea that in the future he would be an astronaut lost in the depths of space in the 30th century with psychokinetic powers. And he had no idea that his future self would travel back in time to prevent his timeline from occurring. When young Vance met future Vance, the temporal anomaly unleashed young Vance's latent mutant DNA and converted it from a talent to create psychokinetic blasts into full-blown telekinesis. Dubbing himself Marvel Boy, young Vance donned a navy blue-and-white costume similar to the uniform worn by his future self and joined the teen hero team, the New Warriors. However when his bigoted father began viciously beating him for being a mutant, Marvel Boy lashed out with his telekinetic powers to protect himself and blasted his father through a wall, killing him. Marvel Boy was arrested for negligent homicide and sent to prison. When he was released for early for good behavior, he decided to christen himself Justice, wearing a padded blue-and-white costume with red goggles and a red scales emblem belt. Justice rejoined the New Warriors and was made the new team leader, and he celebrated by designing a new white costume with navy blue-and-light blue trim with gold triangular emblems. When he was offered membership in the Avengers, Wasp gave Justice a costume that resembled his original Marvel Boy costume with elements of his last costume. Later Justice would leave the Avengers and reform the New Warriors, and changed the hue of his costume from navy to teal and added gold trim to his costume.

The Costume History of Firestar

The mutant mistress of microwaves, Firestar began her career under the tutelage of Emma Frost aka the White Queen. Emma provided Angelica Jones with training in her mutant ability to control microwave radiation, and gave her a fiery yellow-and red costume and large flame-shaped mask that would become her most iconic and well-known look. Realizing Emma intended to use her as an assassin, Firestar left and joined the teen hero-team, the New Warriors. There she would decided to update her look to a red-and-gold leotard over a black bodysuit with gold googles. When Firestar was offered membership into the Avengers, Wasp gave her a gold-and-black bodysuit with orange flame trim and a fiery mask as a welcoming present. However Firestar found the plunging neckline too revealing and modified her costume, changing the trim to red and filling the neckline with a red flame design. Firestar left the Avengers and tried to retire from heroics, but was offered a teaching position with the X-Men. There she wore a stylized version of her original costume, with longer gloves and boots, a smaller mask, and a red collar. During a stealth mission, Firestar sported a black-and-grey version of her X-Men costume. When she fought the god Tanaraq Firestar was transformed into a fiery goddess in a "costume" of pure flame.
