Robert Berry at RetroCrush recently posted its Top 10 Greatest Super Villain Costumes of all Time. It’s a decent list, though I’ve gotta disagree with Galactus being anywhere near the Top 10, let alone the Top 100. The guy’s wearing purple. And a skirt. Come on.
Their list includes:
10. Catwoman
9. Ming the Merciless
8. Black Manta
7. Poison Ivy
6. Dark Phoenix
5. Riddler
4. Galactus
3. Green Goblin
2. Harley Quinn
1. Doctor Doom
I’ll have to create a list of my own one of these days. Doom is a great pick as #1 though. But just off the top of my head, in no particular order, here are a few others that weren’t on the original list:
- Loki
- Doc Ock
- Bullseye
- Two-Face (Well, if you’re only counting his suit as his costume, maybe not a good pick)
- Red Skull (Same comment as above)
- Taskmaster (either super garish, or damn cool looking)
- Venom
Reverse Flash- Scorpion
- Kang
- Magneto
- Darkseid (not really a costume I guess but more his whole look)
- Thanos
- Baron Zemo II (Shown at right)
- Bane (I hated the character but he does look pretty cool)
- White Queen (She’s been a villain so she counts! And if not, then I change my answer to Black Queen)
- Constrictor (Not a fabulous costume and fairly simple, but there’s something about it)
Okay, so who else am I missing?
