Superheroes are more popular than ever, and especially the Marvel side of the comic book spectrum is seeing incredible heights in popularity. No matter how many movies they bring out, they always seem to bring in a few hundred million easily. And the upcoming movies seem like they’re going back to the glory of the earlier movies, so the hype level is rising again.
But not everything that Marvel did has turned into gold. With the movies switching to a more comic-accurate look for many of their superheroes and villains, this seems like the perfect time to look at those times when the comic book outfit wasn’t all that good.
Cable
Despite how good he looked in Deadpool – and it is a somewhat comic book-accurate look for him – the biggest thing you need to remember is that the good sir Rob Liefeld once touched Cable. The result was a suit with nothing more but insanely big shoulder pads and a dozen or so pouches. Not even a shirt underneath or anything. Just shoulder pads and pouches.
Emma Frost
Despite Emma Frost only being a telepath and not a telekinetic, she somehow does manage to keep that outfit up. Just look at it. There’s nothing holding any of that outfit up. I get that her character is all about being seductive but this is just plain bad design and clearly made up by someone who never had breasts in his life.
