Nudity is power, don't you know.Sue Storm's 90's costume was.. a choice.
I guess the colorist got distracted in the fifth panel.

Superhero redesigns that infuriate you

Nah, I think even the colorist was like, "maybe this child shouldn't be staring at his mum's bare ass."
Hated what they tried to do with Lobo.
Redesigns don't usually bother me much but.. holy shit I went off the rails when I saw this. This is a MASSACRE.
B-Dubs I am sending this straight to review, this is picture offends me on an atomic levelAlan Scott's Lantern-ish costume:
On a somewhat related note, always HATED how Marvel would keep briefly giving Sunfire his superior Age of Apocalypse design in the main universe, but undo the change a few issues/months later.

It wasn't the Punch?This broke my heart, i could no longer read Superboy due to it
Completely agree.
I suppose if you're into over-designed messes with lines everywhere. But my point isn't so much the costume change, but how much they changed the character overall. He went from a fun Superboy to a boring Superman Jr. overnight, which I believe to be a big mistake. DC doesn't understand why this character worked and was so popular.
Here is the Taskmaster miniature from the board game Marvel United
Oh I LOVE this
MCU taskmaster might be the worst of the bunch, might not even be Tony Masters too seeing how their identity is a secret. Spiderman design is cool and also the Avengers one but the MCU one just feels like mini boss enemy.
Beasts appearance is as flexible as his ethicsA lot of Beast's designs leave me scratching my head.
To me it's also how big they are. You'd expect Mutant Turtles to be big and brutish, the joke that's the very core of what makes TMNT work is that these mutant turtles are very agile actually...
Pictured: a bunch of dorks who play real world simulation war games dressed up in costumes they don't tell anyone cost as much as they did.
I liked the one in spider-man PS4 :(
Going from the above, kick ass and practical to:
??? Also bat ears poking out the hair?
I don't actually follow comics much at all, so if the above costume order is wrong I blame google for lying to me.
I really don't care if there's some lore reason as to why he looks like such a fucking dork. But the first Avengers CA costume was and still is *the* worst superhero costume ever put on screen. And it makes it 100x worse knowing that it follows up a great suit from the first movie. Joss Fucking Whedon, man.

I love this so much.
So while it doesn't infuriate me, it disappointments me that Marvel essentially has no idea what to do with She Hulk, discounting her legal history and natural intelligence as "tread ground", so they just make her a brute that's inferior to all the other hulks, as well as her former self. Every redesign she's had over the past 2 years just sinks her in a deeper hole of project managers not knowing what to do with her and using her as a Hulk stand in until the Hulk inevitably returns, and then she's cast out and redesigned AGAIN.
A lot of comics from the 90s-early 2000s would look infinitely better if they were recoloured nowadays. Marvel's reprints of Miracleman are the best example of that.

This is a good one. Took away the GOAT Batgirl costume. Hope it comes back one day.
But that's the grand comedy of Taskmaster right? His battle intellect aside, he's a huge dork who plays real world simulation war games dressed up as someone from a Ren Faire, rather than someone dressed up for a paintball league. He's a big silly idiot who's REALLY good at fighting and copying people's moves.
He...grew up? Is he supposed to still wear distressed jeans?From This:

On that note, S-Shield top w/jeans combo remains the worst superman/family look.
Speaking of *barf*This broke my heart, i could no longer read Superboy due to it

It's been said a million times, but it's really just the helmet that's the problem. The rest works and sells what they were trying to do. Scenes where he isn't wearing the helmet are great.
Fun fact, on his off days he just eats junk food and listen to pop music cds.
I think he looks fine even with the helmet. He looks like fucking Captain America.
Also asymmetrical zippers rule.
I would have removed the ear guards and put the wings on(even just to show them getting blown off, LOL).
I think it's the ear guards that make it look off to me.

It's this or Zero Hour Fate.
I like the Batgirl of Burnside costume but it might as well be a completely different character. I still don't understand where that came from.
Also Speedball to Penance.
fuckin' a
Yeah, because an on set photo where he isn't acting is how these should be judged. 🙄
I don't agree.
Halle can make anything look good if she is wearing it.
Any batsuit that is overly 'armour' looking. The one from TDK is borderline, but once you get to stuff like Arkham knight he might as well just be iron man. Batman should be grounded. There's a vast gulf between adam wests spandex and making him look like robocop. My favourite is that first one affleck wore. It's clearly protective gear but it is still obviously a bat suit.
The one that make me boil over with rage is the mcu spider-man suits. They are all terrible. Spider-man has probably the most iconic and classic look in all of marvel comics. They got it like 99% perfect in the first shot and the most traditional look for spider-man actually is LESS complicated than the initial look because it loses the web cape.
Naturally the MCU requires it to be covered in chevrons and panels and black stripey shit for no reason. The iron spider suit is even worse. They take the utterly gorgeous Iron spider suit from the comics with the red and gold colour scheme that would work EVEN better with MCU spider-man essentially being iron man Jr.....and turn it into an over-complicated mess.

The thing with Tasky is that he isn't really just a Merc, he's one in a superhero fantasy universe. He needs to look outrageous to sell his low rent, amoral beliefs in a way that works for him. Dressing him up in armour just makes him look like a sincere badass cool dude, and Taskmaster is anything but.
Name a few characters and I'll see if I can find a few more to link. Most of the major bases are covered.
Say it another million times, it'll still be wrong. Terrible costume all around 🤷🏻♂️
That reminds me of how it probably inspired Spider-Woman's redesign:I liked the one in spider-man PS4 :(

Which was also reverted into a worse version of the classic costume:
