Trivia: In Matt Murdock’s first appearance in Daredevil #1 (1964), he sported a yellow and red costume designed by Stan Lee. The costume only stuck for the first six issues. Come issue #7, he switches to the iconic all red Daredevil outfit.
In Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s “Daredevil: Yellow” series, it was revealed that the yellow part of his costume was made out of the boxing robe of his father, Battlin’ Jack Murdock.
Nice reveal Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale.

Trivia: Even before joining the First Team of X-Men, Warren Worthington III was already a superhero. His first foray into the world of super heroics came when people needed saving from fire somewhere by his college. All of that done while wearing an Angel costume stolen from his college drama department of course.
(Imagine how hard it was to pick out of all those costumes.)
Soon after, he gets a proper costume and starts calling himself “The Avenging Angel” but that only lasts until Professor Xavier recruits him to the X-Men. Everyone forgets about “The Avenging…” part of the name except for Warren who only ever says it for dramatic effect.
*Note: I wonder if Marvel’s ever attached that adjective to his Archangel persona. :|
