The back, or exterior, of his cape is yellow on black.
I decided since I was aiming for a modern suit of armor for Mightion, might as well use the same colors, so I did, and the tech pattern cape actually fits in much better this way.
The M on his chest, is of course to pay homage to Kenn and Ukko's drawings of Mightion with all those M's .

What's wrong with it?
The M, the lack of gloves, the glasses, and to a lesser extent, the wristbands and head/hair style.

My recomendation is to look into robotic arm looks, or various gauntlet like gloves, and get a helmet, whth those changes it would come out a lot better.
This is just his second costume. His first is fully armored and helmed.
I gave him glasses so he wouldn't look like Quasimodo so much.
Oh well, back to the drawing board... but if you guys think this is bad, you should have seen Capt. Highvolt's original third costume. Yeesh. I told Fae about it and he was speechless. Red and white with spiky shoulder things.
And they're right.. If you had some sort of helmet (And any color other then yellow, basically), it wouldn't be so bad.
I actually dont think that it looks as bad as I just said it did.
I just wanted to look like an ass.
So there.

The Juggernaut. War Machine. Many others.
Keep in mind that in comics, helmets are more than just disguise. You can mount eyepieces, etc. Batman and all of his associated folks have starlite lenses mounted in their assorted cowls/masks/whatever.
2. Gloves
Why do you need them? Because bad guys can use fingerprints against you just like you use fingerprints against them. Might take them longer, but they will eventually catch on. Plus there's the police factor; even cops don't go around grabbing guys on the street with their bare hands if they can help it. Too easy to get stuck with a needle, get scratched, get blood or other foreign fluids on you. Then you wipe the sweat from your eyes and whoops! Infection.
Even worse if it's zombie rot. Plus big honkin' gauntlets go with the knight look.
3. Colors
Hero costumes come in one of several varieties, when it comes to coloration:
A. Complimentary Colors:
Iron Man (an armored hero) goes with Red and Yellow (and in the past Red and White, but only once). The idea is that certain colors go with other colors. Usually you have a base color (Red, in Iron Man's case) and you accent it with a lighter color (the gold).
B. Contrasting Colors:
Superman is the big example of this. Red, Blue, and Yellow are the primary colors. The majority of Superman's costume is blue (cool color), and he offsets it with red (warm color). It's visually stimulating and distinctive without being an eyesore.
Going with that much silver and yellow is an eyesore. Gunmetal and gold would be better, or hell blued steel and gold. Pick a BASE COLOR, then accent it.
4. Icon
Okay I have to give you credit for trying to pay homage to the assorted artists who depict Mightion with a bunch of M's (for the record, you left me off the list ). Problem is you introduced a new color duo (red and white) to the eyesore color scheme extravaganza. Now you may have been going for an ironic sort of humor with the scheme (much like fat ogre and troll chicks in EQ who insist on dyeing their armor magenta), but it sounded like you were fairly serious.
Subtle M's. If you go with the gunmetal and gold, then your chest icon can be a big gold M. No more big cartoony M
I also don't like all the over-the-shoulder rivets, but being unfamiliar with the costume generation system, I couldn't really lend you much advice there.

The biggest problem with the costume type is the M, the lack of gloves, and the little itty bitty head with red framed glasses (or is it a mask?). Looks very dorky. That being said, I agree with most people here, character would look MUCH better with a helmet on, but if you don't want the helmet Mightion, here's my advice: Willias fucked around with this message on 10-12-2004 at 06:25 PM.
-Get some gloves. Those bracelets look silly, and the blue color looks like ass with the rest of your armor.
-Change the blue color of your belt, see above comment on that particular color on your bracelets.
-Get rid of the glasses on the head. (IMO, the character would look much better without those glasses thingies on, and may actually get rid of the need of a helmet).
-Bigger shoulder armor to go with your chunky torso armor. Looks awkward at the moment.
-Get rid of the big M or at least change the colors of it. As my brother put it: "Oh snap! It's Mustard Man!"
