So far on Unstable Molecules, we've covered "civilian" clothing only - stuff people wear when they're not off fighting Galactus or whatever. That's because it's hard to decide what a ridiculous superhero costume is:
all superhero costumes are ridiculous. Outside of a comics convention or Halloween, you're never going to see anyone dressed like Spider-Man wandering the streets - but nobody would ever put Spider-Man's costume on a "worst costumes" list, because it is a great superhero costume.
(And even some costumes that
are ridiculous, like Captain Ultra's
amazing Technicolor dreamcoat, are
supposed to be that way. So to qualify as an Unstable Molecules candidate, someone has to
inadvertently dress funny.)
But anyway. Sometimes, a character has a costume that's so ridiculous that it stands out, even in the context of superhero comics. One such character is
Medea.

Nice attention to detail with those hanging pockets.
