    The dumb thing about Statesman's costume is that its not actually a helmet, just the front part of one. And there's no obvious strap or anything holding it on, so he must have crazy glued it to his face.

    Its not glue, its THE POWER OF ZEUS!

    I should probably point out that that's a picture of Cannonball, not Statesman, for anyone who is easily confused/drunk/high/dumber than a sack of hammers.

    I did these little portraits of the Black Racer and Color Kid for an art jam based on characters with colors in their names. They're both pretty fab-u-lous.

    Actually the image decided not to play nice. It was working when I posted it.

    Of course it's the only costume on there where the link will not work.

    Wonder Woman's is outdated, but there are worse alternatives. The one with the black biker shorts, bikini and purple jacket? I don't even know what it's called, but it sucks.

    My ideal Wonder Woman costume is the one on the cover of World War III.

    I also dislike retro scientist Lex Luthor's costume.

    There is absolutely no reason for a scientist to wear that.

    Whenever I see Wonder Woman wearing something more akin to armor, I sometimes wonder if it'd be more interesting to make her rely on magical weaponry/items and her Amazonian fighting prowess then super-human strength and what not.

    Although, I suppose if you did that then it'd be a lot harder to make her fight villains without killing them.

    From what I remember of at least one of the DC retcons on Wonder Woman, her outfit has something to do with the Amazons believing the American flag to be her heraldry. I forget where it came from, whether it be the guys plane crashing or another woman, but they used the colors in order to honor her.

    For worst costume...Big Barda DCAU. Even Wally wouldnt hit on that.

    The Big Red Cheese hasn't really changed his look all too much in the past 50 or 60 years he's been around. He's one of those classic characters like Supes that just personified the whole boy scout ideals.

    Ditto with Captain America. Aside from his World War II outfit, I don't think I've ever seen more than a slight deviation from the costume.

    Origin is the exact same as my Steam, in case you're needing a Support or Assault in BF3.

    The Star Jammers from X-men always looked so contrived. I know they are supposed to be rag tag pirates but their costumes and design just didn't look good. But that's true for most claremont characters.

    From this being a costume thread, there are not nearly enough pics up ins.

    I've always thought one of the worst costumes was the Azrael as Batman one:

    azbats2sh7.jpg

    I really don't like the underwear on the outside thing a lot of characters have, like Batman and Superman, for example.

    I always thought there was a lot of potential in the Starjammers. I found this:

    at Project: Rooftop and think it is pretty rad. The only thing I really don't like is Raza's oversized cyborg arm.

    Come to think of it, I do not really like the obviously cyborg limb with all the shining bling. If you had a cyborg limb or something, that maybe had a laser or something in it, wouldn't it be better to hide its cyborg nature?

    I always thought the Jack Kirby OMAC costume was so ridiculously crazy as to be forever between one of the best and one of the worst. Sadly, I have never read that mini he did so long ago.
