Mick always thought that he was a practical man. His costumes didn´t have any fancy, unecessary extra features: It was fire-proof, the flame-thrower was attached to it and he had the means to exstinguish fire when it got out of hand - although that option was not one of his favorites.
The other Rogues however...ridiculous.
Piper looked like his namesake, right out of the pages from a fairytale book with the stupid hat, the green tights and even pixie-boots. Mark always reminded him of a performing stage-magician with his puffy sleeves and the mask. Boomer..had a silly hat.
But JJ...yellow-blue striped pants? Really? They basically screamed "Hey, I´m here. Brightly colored moving target!" Highly impractical...
Mick learned that JJ was more than a goofball, that he was an unbelievingly clever conman and never did anything without a purpose. Even the pants.
"Underestimation, Mick. Come on, would you take a guy with a rubber chicken and striped pants for full?" That made sense to Mick.
"Besides, they show off my package"
On the other hand, maybe not.
