15 Best Superhero Redesigns

15. Invisible Woman - Ditching The 4 Cutout

The majority of the costumes here are from artists taking mediocre or even bad costumes and changing them to make them great, or else undergoing a stylistic shift more fitting of the character’s persona, narrative or situation. This change, however, is something rather different, but was something that couldn’t come soon enough.

The Invisible Woman, originally imagined by Stan Lee as Marvel’s answer to DC’s Wonder Woman, has always been strong, confident and independent. While her husband, Mister Fantastic, is the clear leader of the Four, Sue has always been much more level headed.

That’s what makes this short lived design, which she only wore for around a year, so strange. Her leggings became shorts, long sleeves were cut off at the shoulders, her toned stomach was on display and, most bizarrely, the silhouette of the number ‘4’ was cut out around her chest.

Not only was it out of character for her (something she admits after ditching it, calling it ‘too flashy’), it was such a terrible design with literally nothing going for it. Switching back to her regular uniform was definitely the right move.
