Twelve Comic Book Characters You Should Not Be This Halloween
October 26, 2007 by
With all of the blockbuster movies based on comic books there will probably be a lot of people tempted to dress up as super heroes this Halloween. It's bad enough your costume might include spandex don't embarrass yourself any further by
choosing a bad super hero to be for Halloween. Here are some comic book Halloween costumes that should be avoided.
Aquaman
If Late Night talk shows talked about comic books instead of politics then Aquaman would be George W. Aquaman is the butt of all comic book jokes. Unless you enjoy being made fun of don't wear an Aquaman costume. Aquaman can talk to fish but if you dress as Aquaman for Halloween then the fish will be the only ones talking to you.
Bucky/Winter Soldier
Recently Bucky was brought back into the comic book world as a character named Winter Soldier. I refuse to accept it though, for years Bucky was the only comic book character that stayed dead. As far as I'm concerned Bucky is still dead and nobody should dress up as Bucky, respect the Buck.
Captain America
Don't get me wrong Captain America is a great comic book character. Captain America also has a cool costume and a rocking shield. I just can't stand to see any Captain America costumes this Halloween because I know there are going to be too many jokes about Captain America dying and the new Captain America, blah blah blah.
Dr. Octopus
Hollywood actually made a Dr. Octopus with mechanical arms that look real. Your tin foil, or whatever you use to make Doc Ock's arms this Halloween, just isn't going to cut it anymore.
Elektra
I like Elektra and I like the outfit but let's be honest. As soon as Jennifer Garner donned the Elektra costume nobody else is ever going to live up to it.
Human Torch/Ghost Rider
If you decide to be the Human Torch or Ghost Rider you only have one option. Use real flames. If you're not prepared to set yourself on fire then don't even bother.
Kyle Rayner/Guy Gardner/John Stewart
There are only two options if you're going to be one of the Green Lanterns for Halloween. 1. Hal Jordan. 2. Kilowog. Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner and John Stewart just aren't good enough.
Aquaman

Unless you enjoy being made fun of don't wear an Aquaman costume. Aquaman can talk to fish but if you dress as Aquaman for Halloween then the fish will be the only ones talking to you.
