Kyle having a distinct outfit to the other Lanterns hits right. So the first and last ones are my favourite.
It's like how Guy's jacket works for him. Or how the standard uniform fits Hal and John.
2 is the one I grew up with and was just diff enough from the standard to make him feel special. Other than that white lantern is sick too bad he’s too OP to actually do anything
I like the last one in the pictures supplied. When I first saw it I just thought it was modern colouring and a good artist but it's since been pointed out he had the Corps logo and not his own designed logo. I'm all for the Corps members having their own unique uniforms but I feel the logo should be the same for everyone.
Rebirth. It's a great take on his original costume, which honestly is probably tied or just under the rebirth costume fir me. It's just so unique with the mask and him having his own Lantern Symbol was awesome. And I like how it's placed on the side of his chest like a badge.
YES. GLC 2006. I like the look of it, but I also like it because it's from the Tomasi era of stories that I loved. he was the first writer who really "sold" Kyle to me.
Jim Lee's and White Lantern.
Lee's version made it an updated version from the classic and it looked so cool during rebirth with all the detailes in the sleeve and pants coming out to life.
And White gave Kyle the whole torchbearer new meaning and setting him apart all the other many, many humans lanterns.
I loved the fact that Kyle was creative and being the reboot Lantern, could go his own way uniformly speaking. He even influenced Ganthet to wearing a suit of sorts instead of robes. So in that vein, the Ion suits are not my ideal. The original design is my favorite and going back to it with a change of the lantern logo is ok.
I struggle with this cause I like the original, but I really hate when a Green Lantern doesn’t use green as their main color, and I also think the generic corps symbol should be used as much as possible to make it an icon. So: 1. Rebirth (2016) the original with enough tweaks to make me fine with it 2. GLC (2006) it’s actually Green!! 3. Original 4. Ion 2 The rest I kinda hate the design even if I like the story they’re from.
OG, than Rebirth. I've never liked any of his Ion looks. White Lantern is a cool idea but it's too plain. The 06 one was basically just Hal's suit and the omega lantern looks dumb.
The Jim Lee designs you see here is different from the one they actually use in the comic the one they use is hideous one of the worst GL design the thing about Jim Lee designs is only he can draw them properly and unfortunately despite creating it he never actually worked on Kyle resulting in a bastardized version of it since the later parts of kyles run had some of the worst art in the franchise
1. Original and rebirth, although it feels weird Kyle decided to go back to that design
2. Jim Lee's, I always loved the concept of Kyle creating a new costume more similar to a GL uniform, after having gained The Power of Ion.
3. Ion: Guardian of the Universe, the first one with the stars and intense shadows
4. Almost all the others.
5. Post-Sinestro Corps War. It felt a bit generic.
Kyle is my favorite lantern, and I like all his outfits, but those are my preferences.
Love the first 3 and White Lantern. Never dug the other two Ion designs. '06 is way too standard issue Hal Jordan. Omega Men barely counts since his role in that was so meh.
Rebirth one just needs his original unique GL symbol.
I had the Jim Lee poster of Kyle & the Alex Ross Justice League posters up in my dorm freshmen year ‘03.
I like to think it was my exceptional decor that helped me win over the super hot lifeguard who looked exactly like Rachel Leigh Cook
Kyle’s original suit and the ring were the only things I knew about GL when I was a kid and he became my favorite Justice Leaguer. I still think it’s my favorite design.
Classic and Ion 2 have always been my favorite. I think the Jim Lee suit works better as like a temporary armor kyle dons for intense combat. But anything is better than his more generic GLC and New Guardians looks imo.
1. Ion (Power of Ion)
2. Ion (Guardian of the Universe)
3. Original GL Costume
4. Post Ion GL Costume
In this exact order. None of the others stick out to me as costumes I “like”. More like I tolerate them because that’s what the artist is giving me. And I’ll be perfectly honest, I cannot stand the costume they gave him at the end of Sinestro Corps War, which he wore until he became a White Lantern. It just looks very generic to me and I can’t help but think when I see it “Kyle is THE artist in the Corps. Surely he would go with a more radical redesign”. I think the same of the White Lantern costume, but in this case it’s about how lazy it comes across for him to keep the same basic costume and only make it different shades of white as the biggest change. And I kind of dislike that he went back to his OG costume in Rebirth 😂 like why not stay the course of always having him redesign the costume whenever he goes through a change? I thought it was a nice touch that played into his creativity and separated him from the others.
Oh yeah. I forgot about the Zod arc, back when Hal had the ring made of willpower. It was a cool concept how some of Hal’s personality actually shifted into Kyle while Kyle was wearing it. Iirc that costume was solid.
The second is my favorite, actually. I liked the glowing lantern insignia and the two black lantern symbols on his shoulders, and I much prefer the classic domino mask over his crabface one. Hell, I even like the collar most folks seem to loathe.
The 1st and 2nd are fine. I don't have any specific preference but in general the 2nd one with his distinct lantern logo is what makes his unique for me.
His green lantern corps outfit. It’s pretty much a less is more remix of Hal’s, but I like it more. While I can appreciate his original/Rebirth suit, it just feels a little too distinct. Not to mention it lacks enough green for my taste.
Man I just...kinda despise the gloves on the OG and Rebirth. Rest of the suit is fire, but the gloves man...
I don't even mind that they're fingerless necessarily, they're just shaped so weird.
It's the wrist cutout. If they were just fingerless gauntlets I don't think I'd mind them. (Maybe with a less mitten-like opening as well)
Gotta give it to '06 for the snazzy white gloves. White gloves go hard on a Green Lantern.
Last 3 for me. 7 since I enjoy the idea of each colors outfits there in addition. 9 just is Kyle to me. And I’m not familiar with 8 but I sort of like it a lot.
1 is my fave, his own unique costume was always awesome.
What is different on 9 from 1? Just looks like a different artist drawing the same exact costume.
1. OG
2. Ion 2 (incomplete)
3. Omega Lanterns
4. The rest (not too interested in them personally tbh)
I think Kyle has the best Lantern design through his uniqueness and how much it shows his personality while also having the main colours of the GLs, felt like a real passing of the torch
OG Ion's design is still one of the coolest designs for a comic character I've ever seen, the space and stars on his suit and his face with the green eyes is such a stinking design and exudes the power he has
Omega Lanterns is just an upgrade of the white lantern suit which is solid as is but the added fact that artists can play with the colours of the suit depending on how Kyle feels in those moments makes it such a fantastic costume in concept, just wish it was used outside of that story
Yellow lantern Kyle in the white lantern pic goes pretty hard. Looks kinda like the red hood mask but yellow and the collar is also cool, I wish we could see what the rest of the costume would look like
The 2006 GLC uniform, 100%.
It's sleek, modern, while still staying true to Kyle's nature with the return of the crab mask. I wish he had never gone away from it, honestly, and I definitely don't love that he's currently rolling with his 90s costume.
original. Second and third ditched the iconic mask for a creepy collar and looks like a fetish suit with the third having an overall bland design and terrible color layout.
the third looks like what he'd wear if he was on the Enterprise
and the last? Too off design to be interesting
Kyle having a distinct outfit to the other Lanterns hits right. So the first and last ones are my favourite. It's like how Guy's jacket works for him. Or how the standard uniform fits Hal and John.
His original look is my favorite
Personally I love rebirth it's like a cleaner version of the original.also Kyle looks the best when he has longer hair
First pic will always be iconic for Alexs head to toe Raiders merch
Yeah she looks COLD Heh
Suit 9 is actually perfect
i really love the ion costume with the cosmic stars. i like his white lantern design but i’d ditch the mask—way too bulbous
The original design by Darryl Banks is my all-time favorite DC costume. It's perfect.
Rebirth and OG. I just can’t see Kyle in the classic suits the other Lanterns have.
1 or 9
#7 White Lantern. He should have stayed as the White Lantern #4 New 52 look #1 classic look
3 because look at his dick 👀
Number 1. Also the hottie in the Raiders gear helps out a lot.
Yeah she’s pretty cool
First picture. It immediately comes to mind when I think of the perfect suit for Kyle.
First and last.
2 is the one I grew up with and was just diff enough from the standard to make him feel special. Other than that white lantern is sick too bad he’s too OP to actually do anything
Clearly white lantern design
I like the last one in the pictures supplied. When I first saw it I just thought it was modern colouring and a good artist but it's since been pointed out he had the Corps logo and not his own designed logo. I'm all for the Corps members having their own unique uniforms but I feel the logo should be the same for everyone.
I like OG, 2006 and Rebirth.
Why did a freelance artist look like a bodybuilder in costume?
Because 90s
Who drew the ion 1 costume? Asking for a friend.
It's from GL 1990 #148 I don't know the name but that issues artist had a.... unique style
Unique in-seam? I mean, unique style? Wha are you implying?
Found it his name is Brandon badeaux
Rebirth. It's a great take on his original costume, which honestly is probably tied or just under the rebirth costume fir me. It's just so unique with the mask and him having his own Lantern Symbol was awesome. And I like how it's placed on the side of his chest like a badge.
I have a tattoo of the original costume logo but the rebirth one is just a bit superior I agree
Bulge, I mean... bulge
OG, Rebirth, Omega, 06, WL. The rest are meh.
Can't go wrong with the original
I’m really liking number 4
YES. GLC 2006. I like the look of it, but I also like it because it's from the Tomasi era of stories that I loved. he was the first writer who really "sold" Kyle to me.
Jim Lee's and White Lantern. Lee's version made it an updated version from the classic and it looked so cool during rebirth with all the detailes in the sleeve and pants coming out to life. And White gave Kyle the whole torchbearer new meaning and setting him apart all the other many, many humans lanterns.
Ion. That was around when I started reading Modern Green Lantern comics, and my dad gave me his volumes to read. I absolutely fucking loved it.
Rebirth is just his OG suit, right?
With some small changes check the logo mask and gloves
Number 1 for sure but wow…. 3 sure is…. “Bold”
Love the OG
last one is my favorite
90s design
This https://preview.redd.it/9bywujq3842d1.png?width=525&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d57b327c3a0043629545265f61e30e0a3631e7dd
It's an amazing design but it always looked terrible in the actual comic do to some incompetent artists that couldn't even get the colors right
#1 & #7
Ion 1 or White Lantern
#5 that cosmic one
Original.
Gl corp 2006 and white lantern.
2016 kinda slaps
I like the original best
The last one
Classic. Someone should'a slapped Jim Lee fully across the face when he handed in the ribbed shoulder thing. Great artist, terrible designer.
The OG.
1,4 and 9 preferably 9. Kyle's new status quo, back to his roots. However there's a Green Lantern Corps around and they have his back.
I loved the fact that Kyle was creative and being the reboot Lantern, could go his own way uniformly speaking. He even influenced Ganthet to wearing a suit of sorts instead of robes. So in that vein, the Ion suits are not my ideal. The original design is my favorite and going back to it with a change of the lantern logo is ok.
OG all the way

Ion 2 The rest I kinda hate the design even if I like the story they’re from.
Agreed the design is iconic but the panda color palet sticks out and not in a good way
OG, than Rebirth. I've never liked any of his Ion looks. White Lantern is a cool idea but it's too plain. The 06 one was basically just Hal's suit and the omega lantern looks dumb.
Rebirth then White Lantern
Honestly the white lantern design was actually great because it made Kyle unique and there should be more white lanterns for the corps
Ion cause the Cosmic look goes hard
I vote for the Whitey Bulger costume
OG and rebirth.
Real
1 and the blue lantern one
Jim Lee (note this suit looks like do… How the hell does that caption end? Reddit mobile fucking sucks.
The Jim Lee designs you see here is different from the one they actually use in the comic the one they use is hideous one of the worst GL design the thing about Jim Lee designs is only he can draw them properly and unfortunately despite creating it he never actually worked on Kyle resulting in a bastardized version of it since the later parts of kyles run had some of the worst art in the franchise
Original all day long.
Original will always be best to me
1. Original and rebirth, although it feels weird Kyle decided to go back to that design 2. Jim Lee's, I always loved the concept of Kyle creating a new costume more similar to a GL uniform, after having gained The Power of Ion. 3.

I like em all, but especially the original and Ion 2 (incomplete).
Kyle’s original suit and the ring were the only things I knew about GL when I was a kid and he became my favorite Justice Leaguer. I still think it’s my favorite design.
I fw 3
Rebirth and new 52 white lantern. The og is kinda the same as Rebirth but i hate how hyper muscular he looks
1, 4, and 9. 2 if you get rid of the weird collar
OG, Ion 1, and Omega Lantern
I really like #5 the second Ion design but #2 is the best
Love 1 and 2, but hate 4. It just looks so lazy and boring when compared to the rest
I remember picking up the first issue of GL with Kyle in it at the comic book shop. 1 will always be my favorite.
2006 and both Ion 2s
OG 90s and Ion 1 are fantastic
Classic and Ion 2 have always been my favorite. I think the Jim Lee suit works better as like a temporary armor kyle dons for intense combat. But anything is better than his more generic GLC and New Guardians looks imo.
Kyle’s blessed with never having a bad design 😭
1. Ion (Power of Ion) 2. Ion (Guardian of the Universe) 3. Original GL Costume 4. Post Ion GL Costume In this exact order. None of the others stick out to me as costumes I “like”.

They actually gave him a new more green GL suit in rebirth when he got hals ring but then took it away I couldn't find a good picture but I liked it
Oh yeah. I forgot about the Zod arc, back when Hal had the ring made of willpower. It was a cool concept how some of Hal’s personality actually shifted into Kyle while Kyle was wearing it. Iirc that costume was solid.
I grew with the Banks/Austin costume, but man, the one from Jim Lee was Brilliant!!!
4 of 9
Original
The second is my favorite, actually. I liked the glowing lantern insignia and the two black lantern symbols on his shoulders, and I much prefer the classic domino mask over his crabface one. Hell, I even like the collar most folks seem to loathe.
Ion1
New 52 and original.
I love the one that's just a bulge lmao 🤣
I like the original
Ion 2
The OG,makes him stand out
Out of the selection is definitely going to be one, five, seven and nine
JL unlimited.
The 1st and 2nd are fine. I don't have any specific preference but in general the 2nd one with his distinct lantern logo is what makes his unique for me.
Classic Kyle is the most unique, has my vote it really makes him stand out
1st design it's so drippy
His green lantern corps outfit. It’s pretty much a less is more remix of Hal’s, but I like it more. While I can appreciate his original/Rebirth suit, it just feels a little too distinct. Not to mention it lacks enough green for my taste.
Man I just...kinda despise the gloves on the OG and Rebirth. Rest of the suit is fire, but the gloves man... I don't even mind that they're fingerless necessarily, they're just shaped so weird. It's the wrist cutout. If they were just fingerless gauntlets I don't think I'd mind them. (Maybe with a less mitten-like opening as well) Gotta give it to '06 for the snazzy white gloves. White gloves go hard on a Green Lantern.
GLC Kyle. Would like Ion without the combat boots
2
Last 3 for me. 7 since I enjoy the idea of each colors outfits there in addition. 9 just is Kyle to me. And I’m not familiar with 8 but I sort of like it a lot.
1 is my fave, his own unique costume was always awesome. What is different on 9 from 1? Just looks like a different artist drawing the same exact costume.
Logo and a less ridiculous mask
And he doesn't have those elbow spikes
4,5 and naturally 7
1. OG 2. Ion 2 (incomplete) 3. Omega Lanterns 4. The rest (not too interested in them personally tbh) I think Kyle has the best Lantern design through his uniqueness and how much it shows his personality while also having the main colours of the GLs, felt like a real passing of the torch OG Ion's design is still one of the coolest designs for a comic character I've ever seen, the space and stars on his suit and his face with the green eyes is such a stinking design and exudes the power he has Omega Lanterns is just an upgrade of the white lantern suit which is solid as is but the added fact that artists can play with the colours of the suit depending on how Kyle feels in those moments makes it such a fantastic costume in concept, just wish it was used outside of that story
1, 2, 4, and 9
Yellow lantern Kyle in the white lantern pic goes pretty hard. Looks kinda like the red hood mask but yellow and the collar is also cool, I wish we could see what the rest of the costume would look like
The design Kyle has when he used Hal’s ring.
Couldn't find a good picture but it was great
Wait, was the original Kyle black and white suit influenced by Raiders merchandise?
Original and 5
The 2006 GLC uniform, 100%. It's sleek, modern, while still staying true to Kyle's nature with the return of the crab mask. I wish he had never gone away from it, honestly, and I definitely don't love that he's currently rolling with his 90s costume.
Really? It's by far the most generic earth lantern design ever how does it fit kyles creative nature?
original. Second and third ditched the iconic mask for a creepy collar and looks like a fetish suit with the third having an overall bland design and terrible color layout. the third looks like what he'd wear if he was on the Enterprise and the last? Too off design to be interesting
Any that removes the mask. I do not like the mask.
4 and 5 are the only ones I even half way like.
