Yikes. :shock:

I really like Killraven and think he's got a pretty neat concept behind him, but that outfit... woof. You just can't marry the spandex look of superheroes and the "half-naked" look of Conan the Barbarian without it looking like the guy is in some bizzarre fetish outfit.

What are some of the ugliest costumes you've seen?

Dial H for Hero.

Jim Mooney had to design 3 to 5 new hero costumes per issue.

God bless him, he ran out of ideas within a few issues.

There's something about a man in thigh high boots that makes him look like a hooker.
