Not-so-Favorites - 12 Worst Supervillain Costumes in Live-Action


Well, I've gotten to the villains of this part. Oh boy...

1. Doom from Fant4stic

While I could throw all the costumes from that film on here, Doom is the crème of the crop! So, he gets left in the Negative Zone, and his suit melts on him? That sounds fun! Even Doctor Doom from the Tim Story FF films looked better than this, and his costume wasn’t too bad. The whole movie was a trainwreck, and the moment you see Doom’s look in the film, you know we’ve reached the bottom of this… thing!

2. Green Goblin from The Amazing Spider-Man 2

While Green Goblin from the 2002 Spider-Man film looked bad, this version takes the cake. He just looks ugly, and I don’t like calling folk ugly. What they did with the Osborns in that film was weird, so you know the Goblin side was gonna go bad. Maybe I’m just used to a mask for the Osborns, but this looked too off the wall.

Not-so-Favorites - 12 Worst Superhero Comics in Live-Action

Well, now that I’ve praised live-action costumes, it’s time to dog on some! There are some truly bad costumes out there. Production teams tend to look at the costumes in comics and think “I can do better!” Sometimes, that does actually work out. Not everything will work in live-action. Other times, you get the costumes on this list. I got 12 heroes for this one. With all that said, let me first harp on my favorite Superhero’s worst costume:

Favorites - 15 Favorite Supervillain Costumes in Live-Action

Well, if I gotta do the heroes, I need to do the villains as well. For the villains, we’ve had some good costumes and some costumes that are just “eh.” I think the villains get hit with this more than the heroes do. There’s something about the villains that most teams feel they need to fix. I think Green Goblin from the first Spider-man movie is an example of that. Heck, Green Goblin from Amazing Spiderman 2 is another example of that! What’s up with these bad Goblin costumes anyway? Hopefully, the MCU doesn’t get hit with its own barrage of bad Goblin costumes.

So, here are my 15 favorite supervillain costumes in live action. The same rules pretty much apply for this list as well. I’m looking at TV and movies. I will make an exception on one villain here because I couldn’t leave these suits off this list. It’s also in random order this time. I just started thinking about good costumes and just kept on until I couldn’t think of any more.

Favorites - 17 Favorite Superhero Costumes in Live-Action

While I get the interest in talking about some Digimon, some Assassin’s Creed, and the “greatest Batman Story Evar”, I thought I’d go to another subject. We’ve had a lot of good superhero costumes come across the screens for years, haven’t we? You don’t even have to start with Christopher Reeve’s Superman costume either. George Reeves and Kirk Alyn even had some well-rendered suits. Yeah, we’ve gotten some lackluster costumes over the years. I can look at 90’s comic movies, the Arrowverse, Smallville (love the show, but some costumes… eh), and even the MCU for some bad ones. Oh yeah, who remembers Shaq’s costume from Steel? Quite horrid, I say!

So, here are some of my favorite superhero costumes in live-action. Yeah, I’m going all over the board with this one. To even make this harder on me, I’m going to only include one superhero for this list, so no doubles like Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton for Batman. It’s also not in exact order, but I’ll have my favorite superheroes up top. I considered including villains on here, but that’ll wait for now.
