15 Worst Superhero Movie Costumes Ever

8. Elektra (Elektra)

2005 may have been a different time for superhero movies in general - as Hollywood largely didn't take them seriously yet - but there's not really any excusing Jennifer Garner's embarrassingly skimpy costume for the (admittedly terrible) Elektra solo movie.

Elektra's never been one to dress modestly in the comics, sure, but as with Emma Frost this felt like a ripe opportunity to give the character a re-design not only for taste but also for practicality's sake.

Instead Garner's left to parade around in a comically piecemeal bodice-like top and skin-tight trousers, leaving a ridiculous amount of her skin exposed and prime for injury.

Thankfully Netflix's rebooted MCU version of the character wears more modest attire that's also far more practical and also just straight-up cooler.
