10 Superhero Costume Redesigns That Were Laughably Misjudged

10. Electric Superman

Yes, Superman was once electric. Twice, actually, if we've got our history right. Something about Red/Blue characters and electrons meeting and...okay it's all a bit much for us, frankly. Quite like the all-blue get-up Supes wore for a short period in the '90s before he (and the DC editorial staff) came to his senses and decided to throw the old red'n'blue on once more. This would be bad enough it were any other hero, but Superman...with electricity? If there's one hero who doesn't need overpowering more than he already is, it's ol' Kal-El from Krypton. Give someone else a chance for once, DC!
