10 Superhero Costumes That Would Make Criminals Die Laughing

2. Meteor Man (Meteor Man, 1993)

Meteor Man 1993 Think about everything we said about Shaquille O'Neal's duds in Steel and multiply it by about a thousand and you have Jefferson Reed's alter ego Meteor Man in the 1993 financial failure (surprise) of the same name directed by the films 'star' Robert Townsend. Not only does Townsend look ridiculous as a hero (imagine Richard Pryor as Superman) his choice of outfit could not be any less ridiculous or unflattering. Just look at it. Sure there's a fake six pack moulded on there but what about the chest area? What's the point in adding muscles when you're just going to give yourself saggy, man boobs? And don't get us started on the gloves. What's Meteor Man planning to do clean up crime or clean the damn toilet? And another thing. If Meteor Man is supposed to be a hero for a predominantly black community why wouldn't he have chosen an outfit that reflected this instead of making himself look like a walking, talking box in a cape? His outfit doesn't scream 'hood' now does it?
