Yahoo Grades the Fashion Stylings of Comic Book Villains

A couple of folks over at Yahoo have taken the liberty to judge the fashion sense of some of our favorite and not so favorite CBM Villains

So, all of us have had many discussions about the costumes or uniforms that have been portrayed in the various comic book movies through out the years. Some agree with how they were, others have down-right conniption fits over them.

I came across this photo album over at Yahoo.com, where a couple fashion folks took a closer look at some past super villains from various CBM's. It's actually pretty funny how they have graded them.

I'll give you just a few of their critiques, but it's worth taking a look at the entire gallery.


Bullseye
Daredevil
Grade: F

Daredevil's costume is far from original, but his enemy's duds are downright cheesy. How can a baddie be taken seriously when he's decked out in lace-up leather pants, a matching trench coat, steel-toe boots, an Ed Hardy-esque belt buckle, and excessive man jewelry?


MYSTIQUE
X-Men: The Last Stand
Grade: A+

The sexy shapeshifter's motto must be "less is more," and we don't disagree. Her au naturel look is definitely fashion-forward


KARL RUPRECHT KROENEN
Hellboy
Grade: A-

Faceless Nazis haven't been this scary since the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark," nor have they been this stylish.


WHIPLASH
Iron Man 2
Grade: A

Tony Stark's arch nemesis is a trendsetter. His techno-gladiator getup is tres chic, his multi-colored mane is dirty hot, and he boasts this summer's must-have accessories: cybernetically-controlled titanium whips.

Take a look at the link below to see how they graded the likes of Joker (Heath Ledger), Poison Ivy, Doc Ock, Dr. Doom and more!

Lmao, this was gay, dude, sorry.

I personally thought Mystique was wretched, don't get me wrong "oooohhhh naked lady", but seriously, kinda dumb.

The worst of the worse? STARSCREAM!!! Yeah... I said it..

This was cool of you to share ecks. It is interesting how there are people out there that don't know shit about comics but find the time to put their two cents worth of worthless advice. Dr. Doom got a B for that horrendous garb they put him in. A "B"????? WTF!!!!????

p.s. and yes, Daredevil was indeed a "F"AIL! If there is one re-boot I'm looking forward to, it's that one.

I think that "deranged homeless guy" was the look they were going for.

Absolutely, McLovin. Dr. Doom is an F-- compared to what should have been.

Where's the Kingpin? Talk about style!

@MTL- There's more if you check the link. I didn't want to post them all. People get a little testy when you cut and paste their articles for some reason ;)

SpiderMan was the closest one that followed the comics.

Spawn was bad ass...aside from the fact that his cape had barely any screen time. THAT was bad.

Mystique is naked, she has no costume - it makes sense, what would be the point in clothes if you can make your skin any style/look you want!

Spawn was OK. the best dresses villain is Harvey Dent he always wears nice suits.
