12 Best Redesigns Of Superhero Costumes

4. Ms. Marvel / Captain Marvel

Spider-Man Black Suit
Marvel Comics

The Ms. Marvel costume is iconic. The black bathing suit, the scarf around the hips, the yellow lightning bolt, the mask across the eyes. It's instantly recognizable.

But it's not a costume that inspires awe or exudes authority. (Let's be honest. The only hero who has ever pulled off the hip-scarf thing is Dark Phoenix, and that's because she consumed entire solar systems.)

The Captain Marvel suit, while not quite making the hip-scarf work, is still a huge improvement. It looks like a suit ready for combat.

And while Captain Marvel is battling foes in the stars, Kamala Khan has stepped up as Ms. Marvel, offering a more conservative and far cooler outfit inspired by the original. The lightning bolt is still front and center, and she looks ready to kick ass and take names.

This is a one-two punch of redesign goodness.
