10. Magneto #1
A serious pose is the enemy of the terrible cosplayer, especially when the extent of your Magneto costume is a home-made papier mache helmet, a fetching lilac curtain and your matching purple underpants worn over some red tights. Had this particularly Magneto embraced the humour of his costume - though questions have to be raised about whether he actually recognised the short-comings - then he might not have looked so ridiculous, but at least there's hope for those struggling to pick a costume that there are possibilities available as long as you have some old-newspapers, curtains and red paint lying around. Or you could go even further with your bargain Magneto homage...
9. Magneto #2
The bin is actually not the worst thing - it looks reasonably well made, and the handle clearly signifies the self-conscious irony of the situation, but if you're going to go to the hassle of cutting a plastic bucket out and wearing it to whatever event you have planned, you could at least go as far as to wear a cape over your t-shirt. Magneto is big business at the minute, what with two of him appearing in Days Of Future Past, so many of you might be tempted to stick a bucket on your head, but please remember to at least fashion a cloak out of something to go along with your bucket-head.
