clothes don’t necessarily make the man
but they can help remake him welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 superhero
costume revamp
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at superhero costumes that
improved upon previous versions either
in terms of practicality or stylishness
number 10
Black Widow goes sexy Black Widow was
always meant to have a bit of sex appeal
but let’s face it her initial costume
did not seem ideal for fighting crime
the mesh heavy outfits were a step in
the right direction but it wasn’t until
Natasha discovered the appeal of skin
tight black leather that the character
really came together
the modern suit is equal parts sexy and
dangerous embodying the deadly beauty of
this femme fatale perfectly her costume
has since altered frequently through the
years but the basic tight bodysuit with
restless and a circular designed belt
has remained constant number 9 star-lord
gets annihilated
[Music]
when star-lord started out he had an
outfit he kind of looked like a cosmic
version of night owl form-fitting and
bug-eyed it looked like any number of
other superhero outfits on the market
but Peter quill is too stylish ado to
have stuck with that look forever
during the annihilation conquest event
star-lord rocked a new look
the color scheme remained pretty much
the same but the sleekness was traded in
for a comfortably boxy double-breasted
look a more functional helmet and some
kickass boots his subsequent trench coat
with a mask look is also cool but
there’s something about this retro
revamp that sticks with you number 8
this serious Aquaman
scintillating repartee I get better
conversation from the Android for years
Aquaman was featured almost exclusively
in safe kid-friendly adventures that
were all playful and innocent compared
to other heroes of that era his costume
an orange shirt made of fish scales
tight green leggings and a yellow belt
with a big a for Aquaman buckle
reflected his generally cheerful
adventures his new 90s redesign may have
been a little extreme but it made a
statement about the new creative
direction long wavy blond hair and a
beard accented a shirtless look that
emphasized a functional armor plate add
in a harpoon to replace a recently
severed hand and you’ve got a hardcore
makeover fit for the Dark Age of comics
number 7 that woman leads the 1950’s
behind originally Kathy Kane also known
as that woman was created to prove to
certain critics that Batman and Robin
were strictly crime-fighting partners
her costume reflected 1950s views of
women with an out of place purse that
didn’t add much in terms of
crime-fighting ability the new bat woman
Kate Kane is a rejection of the
attitudes that made the previous version
so outdated and her look makes that
clear at a glance an ebony bodysuit is
slashed with scarlet boots mask cape and
gloves the vibrancy of the blood-red
perfectly accents the blackness of the
suit giving her a distinct look within
the bat family number 6 the ultimate
Captain America
sometimes a whole new look can be
achieved with minimal changes and this
is a prime example on the surface
there’s a little difference between
Captain America’s classic looks and the
version that was created for the
Ultimate Universe the belts and straps
look more military and utilitarian the
basic suit has a more armored feel to it
and these boots are clearly created for
stomping through rough terrain even
something as simple as adding small
stars on caps massive shoulders give the
new balance to the look little changes
but a big impact have you done but what
have I done I have won this war captain
number five the Golden Age flashes to
the Silver Age BC launched the Silver
Age with an old name attached to a new
character and new look the costume worn
by the original flash Jay Garrick owed a
debt of gratitude to the god of speed
mercury the winged helmet and the boots
reflect his mythological origins and
while the red shirt and blue pants combo
is nice it doesn’t scream speed the
Barry Allen flash however has a costume
that seems to have been made for a
runner form fitting the solid red with
yellow accents looks like it was built
for speed and emphasizes Barry’s lean
muscularity in stylizing the wings on
the hood and the boot makes all the
difference number four the Boy Wonder
gets long pants
finally hope haven’t missed all the fun
poor Robin for decades while practically
every other superhero ran around with
their legs covered he had to patrol
Gotham a city on the East Coast in short
shorts at night and that garish yellow
capelet didn’t help matters either Tim
Drake must have put it in his contract
that he would get a more appropriate
outfit when he became Robin and he did
at long last
tights covered the boy wonders legs and
they paired with some awesome black
boots the capelet became a real cape and
even though it’s yellow on the inside
the outside is black making it much
easier for him to sneak up on villains
and get the drop on them number three
daredevil delves into red not everyone
deserves a
considering this man has no sight it’s
surprising that daredevil gave much
thought to his visual presentation but
somewhere early in the game he must have
realized that his original costume a red
leotard with matching gloves and boots
over a bright yellow bodysuit didn’t
scream out devil but changing the color
scheme entirely to red made all the
difference a few other small touches
shrinking the devil horns slightly
revising the double D logo and making it
all tighter completed the picture number
two iron man loses the clunky
considering how obsessed Tony Stark is
with perfection it’s hard to imagine he
ever went out of the house in his
original suit of armor seriously it
looks like Tony threw together a few
garbage cans painted them yellow and
wreak them up around his body no
self-respecting billionaire playboy
dresses like that
fortunately Starks soon came up with a
radically more attractive design sure
switching to a red and gold color scheme
is significant but making the armor
conform more closely to Starks body had
the biggest impact that in making sure
it still has a definite metallic look
and feel before we reveal our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
[Music]
number one spider-man’s basic black fans
were shocked when Peter Parker’s iconic
blue and red Spidey suit was replaced
with a basic black number they were even
more surprised later to discover that
the suit was actually a living alien
symbiote but that’s another story
while the original classic sued
eventually returned the black symbiote
suit remains a stunning design by
reducing everything to a basic black
with only a few white spots for relief
artists were able to capture a moodiness
and darkness in the character that was
stark and tantalizing and fill the black
made accentuating the physique more
challenging it also took the character
design in a new direction breathing new
life into old Spidey
