Cap and Thor look like they have plausibly deniable makeovers — the stars on Cap are pretty clearly pink, not just overlaid, and I think his glove and the shield’s stripes are a darker pink (compare the star to the “A” on his mask). Similarly, Thor’s cape is the same pink as on X-23′s costume, as are the circular doodads on the front of his costume. But the backgrounds and lighting are done in such a way that it’s not at all obvious unless you spend way too much time looking at these covers.
