His original costume was pink with black at the sides, with four white circles , the code-name "Cosmic Boy" written on the chest, and a plastic bubble space helmet. After his first appearance, the helmet and the codename were replaced with white epaulets. For a period in the late 1970s, he was portrayed in a costume that was essentially a black bustier with black gloves and boots, with bare arms, shoulders, chest and legs. This costume—one of several designed by Mike Grell—was controversial. Many fans felt it oversexualized Cosmic Boy. Several other characters were portrayed in equally revealing costumes, most of which were poorly received by fans. Cosmic Boy returned to a close variation on the original costume a few years later. In the post-Zero Hour Legion he wore a version of his original costume with lavender as the primary colour instead of pink.
