If you’re gonna mention the Marvel Family, then I have to throw in **Black Adam** as the best. Bad-ass lightning bolt on black. Nothing else is needed or wanted. It’s perfect because it sums up his powers AND says “I’m a villain” all in one. (As long as they make him a REAL bad guy again and drop all of this “I had a family and they died” crap. Let a bad guy just BE BAD! Sorry, personal annoyance.)

The Ultimate Thor. They made those circles on his chest actually look cool.

Jack Hawksmoor of the **Authority**. Casual, yet stylish.

Firestorm always looked pretty good.

I could have missed it, but - has anyone mentioned **Wonder Woman** or **SuperGirl**? Fine Halloween costumes, I tell you! I’ve been SuperGirl, and one of these years, I’m determined to buy a black wig and be Wonder Woman.
