What superhero had the dumbest looking costume?

I disagree with WW being a bad costume design. Sure - some versions of it might be termed cringeworthy (I am NOT a fan of the early Marston look or even the granny panties) but take a gander at her in Kingdom Come. I can't find a good pic to link to but she looked pretty good in the slit skirt (always felt like peeking tho').
Aw, he can't help it. He got turned red, yellow, pink, and goggle-colored. At best, he could look like a Houston Rockets benchwarmer who has traveled through time from 1990.

Pretty impressive when you realize he was created in, what, the 1930s?
I always wondered - can't the poor guy just shape-shift himself a new costume? Or is that lame outfit cosmic karma for being a petty criminal before the accident? Surely he's paid his debt.
Thinking about it, the Wil Payton Starman had an awful first costume:
At least later on the made the yellow and purple solid black, the lines around the star emblem black, and kept the star emblem white. It looked a hell of a lot better in the second color scheme.

You know, the way that star is postioned it could be a pentagram!
My thought as well. Here's a guy who's supposed to be a great stalker and tunnel rat, and he dresses in bright yellow and blue with big flaps on his boots and head. How's he supposed to move with bumping into something and making a great deal of noise. And I'll never understand versions of this suit with superfluous shoulder armor which would only hinder his movement when he strikes with his tiger claws.

Yeah, it's pretty amusing how if you know his uniform color, you can eventually spot him no matter what he tries to disguise himself as
That comic panel makes no sense.
Wonderwoman has a great costume. Wonderman from the Marvel universe however had one of the worst outfits in all of super herodom.
Morphing into a tight dress...best superpower ever! 
I'd forgotten about that bit.
Uhh, do you mean Plastic Man disguising himself as a dress to replace a dress sent to Barda as a gift to get 'close' to Barda, or Barda's reaction to realizing that it was Plas she was wearing?

I think the only way a costume could be gay is if it said "Prefer same gender", or perhaps "I'm really happy".
For those who said superman, I'd have to agree. His, as well as Clark Kent's. How does he really think that he can be a reporter and wear tights with the underwear on the outside but no mask and expect that people won't recognize him?
Because people will look at the underwear instead of his face.
