00:00Why are Marvel heroes so obsessed with the color red?
00:02It may seem like a coincidence, but once you start paying attention,
00:05almost everyone wears this color in their suit.
00:07Let's start with Deadpool.
00:08When he became a hero for the first time, his suit was white.
00:11The problem was that after every fight,
00:13the uniform ended up completely covered in blood and he was way too lazy to wash it.
00:17That's when his landlady said,
00:18Salsa water and lemon for blood.
00:21Or wear red.
00:22From that day on, red became Deadpool's trademark.
00:24Next up is Iron Man.
00:25Tony's first armor was completely metallic, with no defined color.
00:28But one day he simply got bored and asked Jarvis to change the look.
00:31Jarvis suggested gold, but Tony didn't like it much.
00:34Then he looked at the red sports car in his garage and said,
00:37Throw a little hot rod red in there.
00:38And just like that, the classic red and gold Iron Man armor was born.
00:42Spider-Man, on the other hand, has a much more logical reason.
00:44The radioactive spider that bit Peter had red and blue details on its body.
00:48He basically took direct inspiration from that to create his first suit.
00:51In other words, the costume is almost a tribute to the origin of his powers.
00:55And it doesn't stop there.
00:56Characters like Wanda, Ant-Man, Wong, and many others also carry red in their visual design.
