It occurs to me as I contemplate using spirit gum to adhere my Marvel Girl mask directly to my face for Halloween, that some comic costumes pretty much defy the laws of gravity and physics.
I mean, there are some that have so many openings and gaps that no one could possibly move in them even an inch without flashing something private.
So! In honor of Halloween and all the cosplayers in the world who've discovered that Psylocke's uniform requires a bikini wax and some double sided tape...show me the most ridiculously oustanding costumes in all of comicdom.
<333 I luv youuuu. Come here and let me chew you~

I'm sort of digging the whole granny panty look coupled with the GAPING HOLE in the front. Can't show upper thigh, but boobs? NO PROBLEM.

The bizarre thing is, that's only about the fourth or fifth most physics-defying 70s Legion costume!

I think Tyroc's 70's uniform is my favorite. I mean...the package. THE PACKAGE. My mother saw a picture of him and was all "Honey, that man needs to wear a cup. How is he even staying in there?"
I love my mom.

Whoever decided that Cham isn't really wearing clothes (that his "costume" is just an altered layer of skin) at least had the right idea-- in the sense that they don't have to explain where his costume goes when he transforms.
Doesn't explain where the flight ring ends up, though.

It was always odd how Jim Lee drew Psylocke doing a vagina-first leaping kick.

...you probably don't want to know. I'm sure Durlans have an orifice...of SOME KIND...*shudder*

Maybe they have magical sweat or something that grants the ring temporary shifting powers itself. Yeah, that's my new story and I'm going with it... Yikes...
(BTW, I stand by my earlier opinion that using your own skin as a costume is actually a really bad idea. I mean, hair has no nerve endings either, but it's attached to a surface that does. Which is why if somebody tears at it or rips it out-- you will hurt, big-time!)

I'm sure that whatever means is used to allow Gim's ring to grow with him (and not cut his finger off when he expands in size) or Salu's ring to shrink with her (and not become a giant golden corral around her tiny form) or allows Tinya's ring to phase with her (and not clunk to the floor when she goes intangible) also works for Cham.
Mon-El and Ultra Boy and Superboy and Blok occasionally punch the hell out of someone with their ring hand, which would utterly destroy the ring if it weren't able to 'borrow' some of their invulnerability, as well.
Ah, Flight Rings, what *can't* they do?
As for ridiculous comics costumes, my mom was a big fan of Vampirella, and I always wondered how she could even draw a breath without those strings covering her breast shifting, let alone do all sorts of kicks and jumps. Same for various interpretations of Phantom Lady, from the Freedom Fighters, who wears something similar.

Set, just tell me how we can say "unstable molecules" in a way that's different enough so we won't get sued?

HOW IS THAT GIRL EVEN MOVING? Man, she's in that costume so tight her poor boobies will probably never move AGAIN.
