The world (and Hollywood) has gone comic crazy. Comic-Con has taken over San Diego and if you watch G4 (like the geek I am) there’s non-stop coverage. I mean what’s not to love about superheros, villians and the stans that dress up like them. Comic costumes are magnificently  stylish. All the rubber, molded chests and cool utility belts with infinite gadgets. If I were a superhero (and yes I’ve thought about it, the Stylish Sorcerer would be my name) my costume would be gaudy and full of bows that double as ninja darts.

My alter ego aside, here is my top 5 most stylish comic characters:

1. Wonder Woman

This one is a given. Who else can pull of a patriotic leotard, powerful metal cuffs and tiara all while lassoing a whip and managing to not have a hair out of place.

2. Storm (X-Men)

In some variations Storm wears all white, a two piece and even all black leather. But her signature that no artist can change is her long white locks. Forget Anderson Cooper, Storm is the original silver fox. Controling the weather at a whim (we really need her during this heatwave) she wore her gray with pride.

3. The Joker

The only man to make the list. The Joker had eccentric style by the case load (not to mention mental issues). What man do you know can pull off white Kabuki makeup and red lips? All while being pathologically crazy and rocking a purple overcoat.

4. Sailor Moon

She is the one named Sailor Moon. How can you have a style list and not include Sailor Moon. Schoolgirl uniforms that transformed into tart skirts, long blonde pigtails and red go-go boots. Growing up my sisters and I would fight over who was Sailor, I mean she was the only one that mattered.

5. Catwoman

Black leather, cat ears, tall black boots and I’m talking the original felines (not Ms. Berry, Ms. Berry). Way before fitted black leather was fashion’s staple, Catwoman was the original fierce superhero and she still is.

ETA: Thanks Melina for this! Tim Gunn is the light of my life.
