5. Valkyrie
So while the ladies have been finding their knees suddenly don’t work as good as they used to after seeing Thor on the big screen, you have to wonder what’s in store for the guys (ok, there is admittedly a lot of lewd fan service in comics).
Meet, Valkyrie, the inevitable female counterpart to Thor and one of a few credible female threats that doesn’t look like she learnt to dress in some kind of bizarre clown brothel. Obviously with the evolution of the Thor outfit, Valkyrie’s outfit as become more modern (and less skimpy) too, but it’s still an awesome costume.
4. Hit Monkey
He’s only really wearing a black suit with a red tie and shades, but what can be more awesome than a monkey dressed in a suit? One that also happens to be a professional hit-man. This is a monkey that obsessively hunts down known contract killers, even having a prolonged tussle with Deadpool and Spider-Man.
And just in case I haven’t hammered home why this looks amazing… It’s a monkey in a suit, with guns.
3. Punisher
Speaking of dark and menacing, the Punisher is probably one of the darker anti-heroes out there. He’s not above murder, torture and extortion to get what he wants and he’s also had a non-canon spinoff proving that he’s more than capable of killing every single superhero and villain in the Marvel universe without any powers.
The thing that makes his costume so awesome is the simplicity of the latter outfits. Originally, he started as one of the spandex crowd, but he’s been toned down (visually) to be something a little more dark and realistic looking, a lot more like the character depicted in the two most recent movies. This combination of trench-coat, body armour, holsters and ammo belts looks pretty threatening and is open to a little situational customization.
