Ever wanted to wear Guardian's suit?

Well now you can...

I just found this while trolling ebay for one of those new Guardian figures. For $20 I may just purchase it for Halloween this year.

Heh, yah we were looking at these a few months ago http://alphaflight.net/showthread.ph...ight=halloween some other costumes there too.

My wife calls me a "geek" often enough as is, I'd hate to see what she called me if I came home wearing one of those!

[Ryan Maxwell]

Ooooo, they're back! I check eBay every so often for this costume, I'm sorely tempted to buy it.

[PWalk]

I'm thinking of doing it just for Halloween this year. For the $45-50 I think it's worth it and it will also be a hell of a lot cheaper than past costumes.

If only we could get them tailor-made, so they looked more like the 'real thing'. Or even better than the real thing...
Nah, I'm not a huge U2 fan.

Spandex suits are always such a let down on real people....

Not always.

I've always loved the "prompting from earth" thing Guardian did a couple of times.

Perhaps you refer to the 'stopping relative to the Earth, so it spins out from under him'? A power unique in that, while he did use it more than once, it was never in the series (at least, not for a long, long time; I think they broke that record eventually, maybe post v1).

Everyone's drinking, smoking, shooting up... shooting each other, or just plain screwing their brains out 'cause they don't want 'em anymore. *I'm* crazy?

Le Messor, I was referring to the cover of the X-Men issue where Guardian first appeared in the Marvel universe.

[Le Messor]

Oh, that... That was cool! Come to think of it, with the other half of my rambling, did he ever do that in Alpha Flight? Or just the once in X-Men?

Can you imagine the surprise parties you could throw?

[Ben]

just off the top of my head, I think he did it once more around issue #11 (maybe) and somehting is nagging at me he might have done it again around 100 when he was cyborgie

[Le Messor]

I'm pretty sure you're misremembering the #11 one. I just checked, and he doesn't seem to use it before #12. #11 & 12, his scenes are in the air or in a building.
I could've been more thorough, though -- maybe I missed something.

[DelBubs]

I'm getting confused, are we talking about the bursting out of the ground thing he did in UXM #109 or the using the suits powers to seemingly transport himself? (Putting himself at rest to the earths rotation etc?)

[Le Messor]

Bursting out of the ground. (I'd thought the 'teleportation' one, but I was wrong.)

I only remember him doing that in 109, can't recall any other time.
