Badass Women in Badly Designed Outfits

A compendium of bad clothing choices by, mostly, comic book characters.

I have no qualification to do this other than the fact that I, too, wear clothes.

Black Widow. What’s more intriguing to the post-Cold War American psyche than a female Russian spy? (Answer: very little). The main problem with this costume is the lack of pockets. For a character regularly fighting with guns, there is absolutely no storage element to this costume. No holsters, no backpack, no purse. Nothing. “But, the belt!” you say. Did you really look at it. I mean seriously ponder over it’s potential? Because I did. Without defying the laws of physics, or something, it can’t hold a darn thing. Also! Given her hip-waist ratio there is no way for that clearly metal belt to not slide all over the place. Which should make a nice jingling sound, given that it’s thin metal. Just what every spy wants, to sound like Christmas! Now, see what I mean:   Compare: Where does she keep those guns?!
