not every character design works out
well welcome to watchmojo.com to down
our picks for the top 10 superhero
costumes that went too far

every day so be sure to subscribe to our
Channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re looking at outfits from
comics that try too hard to be edgy or
sexy we’re basing our choices on a mix
of lewd amounts of skin and practicality
and how poorly each look has aged number
10 new 52 Harley Quinn DC’s new 52
revamp brought Harley Quinn back with a
new outfit for her appearance in the
2011 Suicide Squad comics this looked
featured plenty of corsets and short
shorts if not underwear in some cases
Harley also traded her blond hair for a
mix of red and blue to match her clothes
which annoyed more than a few fans
Quinn’s redesign was needlessly overly
sexualized especially given how iconic
her original design was her tiny cape
and a few appearances didn’t make much
sense either as fans even compared
Harley to a Juggalo it’s no wonder DC
has changed her new look repeatedly
number 9 sleeveless magneto when magneto
decided to spend some time as a hero
he changed costumes to mark the occasion
rather than a new helmet the magnus
donned a purple suit with a giant white
M on his chest the outfit had no sleeves
and instead showed off some rather long
gloves to cover Magnus’s arms though
this new getup wasn’t far off of some
Hawkeye costumes Magneto’s massive cape
was out of place his pyjama leg suit
came off as silly during the otherwise
serious trial of magneto series as well
while Magnus was a great hero his
costume just couldn’t match up number 8
casual Superman though Superman suit
didn’t change dramatically for his
titular new 52 series he received a
t-shirt in the pages of Action Comics
with jeans in the iconic s on a tee this
imagining of Clark Kent’s origin story
looks like a cosplayer while this
laid-back take on Superman’s outfit was
a good fit for his roots as a farm boy
the Cape looked silly Clark would also
buy his s t-shirts in bulk since they
weren’t strong like his Kryptonian suit
as well loved as this story line is
young Clark’s cuffed jeans are still
earning mixed reactions
number seven spiky name or Neptune
brought Namor back to life and gave him
a surprisingly gritty makeover in the
process the Submariner had taken on a
more feral look throughout the 1990s
long hair and gold gauntlets for his
vicious fighting style his revival
however came with a sharp gold chest
plate which was a big change for a hero
who normally just wears a speedo issue
37 also saw Namor with dozens of spikes
across his body which resembled a
muscular sea urchin even with the more
experimental tone of these adventures
artist J Lee’s design reflects the
excess of 90s comics number six biker
Wonder Woman following the events of the
contest Diana Prince lost her title as
Wonder Woman to Artemis not one to give
up on crime-fighting
Diana put on shorts and a leather bra to
defeat evil in Boston the clothes showed
far too much skin while also looking
cobbled together by both artist Mike
Deodato jr. and Prince herself
Diana’s bright blue jacket is also
wildly ill matched for the otherwise
dark aesthetic of the outfit luckily it
was only a few issues before Diana was
back to her Stars and Stripes again
biker chic however just never felt right
for Diana number 5 penance speedballs
energy powers and use of glowing
colorful balls kept Robbie Baldwin as
one of Marvel’s most light-hearted
heroes when he faces trial for hundreds
of deaths in civil war however his guilt
is unshakable Baldwin is reborn as
penance and dons armor with 612 spikes
inside it to remind him of all the
people he let die though the concept was
appropriate for a story the design
resembled medieval armor mixed with a
BDSM outfit Deadpool even lampooned how
penance was just an attempt to make
speedball seem deep speedballs dramatic
character pivot crossed the line by
turning a lovable clown into a violent
and ugly martyr number 4 hair metal Thor
as the World Tree was dying the gods of
Asgard were changing to deal with their
dramatic circumstances for a few issues
Thor’s hair got ridiculously long and he
spent most of his time completely
shirtless things got extra over-the-top
when he showed up covered in straps but
his midriff remained completely exposed
Mjolnir was even put on a chain for a
look that screamed heavy metal meets
fantasy artist Mike Deodato jr. ruffled
a lot of feathers with this costume even
though it was only on a cover the
codpiece also provided a level of
sexuality Thor really didn’t need number
three white Queen Emma Frost Emma Frost
has often warned some variation of a
crop top with pants but she wears far
less when she becomes the white queen as
part of her villainous persona within
the Hellfire Club frost ditches her
usual trousers for underwear of all
things and that doesn’t need armor with
her diamond powers although of course it
certainly isn’t great for flexibility in
combat either one version of her
Hellfire Club story actually changed her
into a stripper but that played as
justification rather than fixing the
issue as empowering his Frost attitude
towards sexes in the comics her getup
was way too over-the-top
number two is a tannaz thong for as the
tannaz alternate timeline in the
flashpoint event she joins a magical
organization known as the secret seven
between this group and her biker gang
the sorceress shed her usual stage
clothes for a thong in a small jacket
her new affiliations don’t really
legitimize the outfit since no one else
wore nearly as little as the Tannen her
normal outfit already featured fishnets
but the thong was a step too far Zatanna
slow riding pants are confusing at best
as they don’t hide anything and look
like they’d trip her up for one of DC’s
rarely altered characters Satana was a
charmingly different person in
flashpoint number one
invisible woman’s for kini following
years of neglect from her husband Reed
Richards Sue Storm decided to gain power
back in their marriage through a new
costume sue designed an outfit that
could assert her sexuality with
nonsensical portholes in her suit as
well although a breast window would be
bad enough The Invisible Woman made it
in the shape of the four there are also
random loose rings of fabric across the
outfit the concept was eventually
explained as the result of malice
possessing sue after a dozen issues
however this attempted an empowering new
costume came off as comedic with sue
ditching it and referring to it as too
flashy do you agree with our picks check
