I wonder how much of that was planned out. from what it said on Spiderfan.com it seemed like they were trying to have him use the black one. Im sure sometimes they try to change the costume and just end up going back to the original because the character is so iconic.
Oh yeah- I was buying those issues at the time and they certainly *wanted* to keep using the black outfit but sales dropped after a short while and fans started writing in to change it back. (Them was da days when we didn't have no internet to bitch about stuff on!)
Slightly off topic but didnt Iron Man have a black/white/grey costume at one point or was that some other guy in the Iron Man world (im getting this from the spidey cartoon, when the had carnage)

Yup. Well sorta. Throughout the comic Tony Stark built several versions of the Iron Man armor- some just upgrades and some specialized (stealth, underwater, etc). Due to his alcoholism Tony Stark gave up being Iron Man for awhile and his friend Jim Rhodes took up the armor. When Tony came back to the land of the living, and around the time of using the black/gray/white armor, Jim set off to fight crime as 'War Machine' which allowed Stark to get back to the more classic styled armor.
Then again there was *also* the original Iron Man armour that was, like the original Hulk, all gray and bulky!
