Ms Marvel Costumes

1. The original Ms Marvel Costume

After getting blown up and saved by Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers gained super strength, speed and a seventh sense that would put her consciousness to sleep and allow Ms. Marvel to fight the prophesied problems. Her first costume consisted of a one-piece outfit with built-in gloves and an exposed mid-riff somewhat scandalous by 1977 standards. She also rocked a scarf and boots. The look might be a little dated by today's standards, but back then it proved pretty hot stuff.

Soon after first meeting up with the Avengers, Ms. Marvel got a full-on costume change in 1978's MS. MARVEL #20. She ditched her original outfit in favor of a black affair with lightning bolt chest graphic, thigh-high black boots and separate black gloves. Of course, the costume design came from resident Avengers fashionista Janet Van Dyne, who kept a bit of the old look in the form of a red sash around the waist. Ms. Marvel wore this costume when she took over for Scarlet Witch on a temporary basis in AVENGERS #183. 
3. The Binary Costume

Carol stuck with the black costume all through her ordeal with a villain named Marcus, who impregnated her with a version of himself. Later, on a mission into space with the X-Men in 1982's UNCANNY X-MEN #164, Carol found herself at the Brood's mercy as they experimented on her unique genetic composition. Eventually saved by Wolverine, Carol discovered that the Brood tampering had made her much more powerful and able to tap into cosmic energy. She took on the name Binary to reflect her new, star-like appearance. While in the Binary guise, Carol wore a white bathing suit-like torso piece along with white thigh-highs and gloves accented by her red skin and flaming head. Her new powers allowed Binary to kick around space for a while, teaming up with the Starjammers, before ultimately coming back to Earth during "Operation Galactic Storm," which drained Carol of most of her cosmic powers. 
4. The Warbird Costume

With her Binary powers depleted, Carol returned to the classic black costume, rejoining the Avengers in 1998's AVENGERS #4, but taking on a new name: Warbird. Things didn't go well for the heroine, though, as her past trauma caught up with her and lead to a bout with alcoholism that got her expelled from the team. After getting help from Iron Man with her drinking and power problems, Danvers eventually got a brand new look to go along with her new codename. The Warbird Costume consisted of a basic bodysuit with padding-on-the-outside.

Jean Grey Costumes Gallary

Originally known as Marvel Girl, Jean served with the team for many years. Later, she became more powerful as the hero Phoenix. She seemingly met a tragic end, and then resurfaced incredibly some time later. After more years of working with the X-Men and fighting for mutant rights, as well as to protect the Earth that feared and hated her kind, she met her end during an epic battle in New York. Since then, Jean has been mourned but not forgotten. And she's certainly had her share of unusual outfits over her life.

Gazillion's Ms Marvel Binary Costume

Gazillion's newest update adds a 1980s-era outfit for Ms. Marvel. The new ms marvel costume is available either via an in-game loot drop or the cash shop.

In the story in Uncanny X-Men #163 and #164, Ms. Marvel experienced some radical changes during an outer-space adventure with the X-Men. After being captured by the Brood and experimented on, her already augmented genes achieved their full potential and she was transformed into the cosmically-powered Binary!
Special visual effects have been added to show off Carol's 'cosmic flare' and give her a unique appearance.

First Appearance of the Classic Ms Marvel Costume


The All New Ms. Marvel from Ms. Marvel (1977) #20!
This is the first appearance of the Classic Ms Marvel Costume.

Classic Carol Danvers Ms Marvel

Carol Danvers first appeared in Marvel Super-Heroes #13, 1968. Carol originally was a Security Chief for the United States Air Force and had no super powers. However, she encountered Captain Marvel and then was accidentally transformed by some otherworldly radiation into a superhuman warrior - Ms. Marvel. Carol is one of Marvel's most powerful and prominent heroes and the only heroine as a member of the Avengers.
This is Carol’s most famous Ms Marvel Costume. It helped establish her Ms. Marvel identity as a unique character and not just a simple spin off of the original Captain Marvel. This black one piece spandex body suit had a yellow lightning bolt on the front. The lightning bolt started at the neck and would run all the way down. Carol also wears black thigh high boots and opera length gloves. Carol kept the long red scarf as a reminder of her origins but instead wore it around her waist as a sash. She also wears a black mask on her face.

The 3 Jean Grey Phoenix Costumes

1. Phoenix Costume

Jean Grey Phoenix Costume

After the Phoenix Force duplicated Jean Grey’s body and infused it with some of her life-force and essence, it was intoxicated with human experiences and believed herself to be the one, true Jean Grey reborn. The X-Men had no reason to doubt her and considered the new costume as a symbolic expression of that rebirth. Phoenix wore a green body suit with a black neck area. Long opera gloves and over-knee boots, as well as a sash were made of some golden fabric that almost looked like liquid metal. The clip of the sash as well as the logo on her chest were stylized Phoenix symbols.

 2. Dark Phoenix Costume

When she no longer could repress the dark hungers inside herself, Phoenix transformed into Dark Phoenix. Her costume too changed. Despite the color shift from green to red, this version no longer had a black neckpiece and the chest emblem was much bigger.  

3. White Phoenix Costume

Jean Grey White Phoenix Costume
In the so-called White Hot Room Jean faced an entire host of Phoenixes in differently colored costumes, the color apparently being more than just decorative. Jean herself wore a white version of the standard Phoenix outfit and was referred to as White Phoenix of the Crown, apparently one of the highest ranks. The costume was also worn by Phoenix when she encountered Death after sacrificing herself on the moon.
