The Squadron Supreme series from the 80's is one of my favorite stories of all time. It's a very strong story, a timeless tale regarding good intentions and how they can lead down the path of ruin. It's characters were very human- idealized, yet very flawed. Anyone could die, but unlike other stories where this was usually just done for shock value, the Squadron valued each death and emphasized just how important it was. The final battle in the series is still chilling regarding the violence and the cost of life, and how neither side walks away with their hands completely clean.



For this image I wanted to do something fairly somber. I also didn't want to use the costumes that were featuring in the 80's mini-series as (a) I wanted this set sometime before the events of that series and (b) I really didn't like them all that much in terms of their design. However, I also broke that rule with Nighthawk's outfit, but I rationalize that as he stated that was an "old" costume of his he was just readopting.
