10 Superhero Redesigns That ACTUALLY Worked

10. Superboy

Connor Kent was created in a lab and believed that he was Superman. But when the Man of Steel died at the hands of Doomsday, the young teen would become part of the four heroes who continue the iconic hero's legacy in the arc, Reign of the Supermen.

Superboy's original costume was dated, to say the least. Despite sporting Kal-El's Kryptonian colors, the young hero added a leather jacket and some cool eyewear to match which while relevant at the time, made his outfit age like milk.

The character would later sport a costume that was fitting of a teen but also visually appealing. This time, he wore a pair of jeans and a black shirt with a red variation of the S Shield. The result is a much simpler costume that is less cluttered yet so more effective. This new outfit perfectly encapsulated what a teenager would wear; someone who prefers comfort rather than flamboyant theatrics.

Among the fandom, there remains a debate between his 90s look versus his modern appearance and yet regardless, Superboy's simplified costume deserves a spot on this list.
