This is “In The Spotlight So Clear,” a feature where we spotlight times in comics where characters or plots need to be cleared out of the way to make room for a new status quo. Like, for instance, you want to introduce a new Captain Superhero, you might want to first get rid of the previous Captain Superhero. Or if you want to do a new Captain Superhero series, you might want to wrap up all of the plots from Captain Superhero’s previous series first. Stuff like that. Stories that are specifically meant to clear things up for upcoming stories. Today, we look at how Wolverine’s costume change in Jim Lee’s X-Men was explained in Wolverine’s solo series.While obviously, major characters like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Captain America all underwent slight evolutions of their costumes over the years, it’s amazing just how rare it was to see any MAJOR changes have been made to most superhero costumes once they sort of hit a certain “set” point. For instance, Iron Man went through a number of different looks in his earliest issues, but after he hit on the yellow and gold design in Tales of Suspense #48, it wasn’t long after that he locked on a certain design that lasted for the next decade plus. Batman gaining a yellow oval for the bat emblem on his chest was a major change when it happened in 1964! That’s how rare it was for any big changes to occur to the most popular superheroes.Byrne discussed the change a while back:
