8. Black Adam (DC Comics)

DC ComicsAnd now we move on to the more stereotypical comic book costume style with Black Adam. Black Adam is essentially an evil (sometimes anti-heroic) version of Superman and his costume is in that same tight-fitting, muscle-gripping style - and the only thing missing is the cape. The black and yellow colour scheme is indicative of danger - and that's exactly what Black Adam brings to any situation (he won't hesitate to rip your arms off or gouge your eyes out using his immense super-strength) - and the lightning bolt that is emblazoned across his chest (representative of his association with the wizard Shazam) is a very cool symbol to bear.
