There have been a whoooolotta superheroes swanning about since Superman debuted in June of 1938, each one theoretically different from the rest, with their own fashion sense.  Honestly, given the sheer number of people to put on tights to fight for truth, justice and the almighty buck over the years, it’s really surpriseing that we haven’t had more duplicated costumes, like the darn-near identical Golden Age suits for The Sandman and The Tarantula.  Tarantula’s eventual redesign resulted in one of the most beautiful superhero costumes of all time, but not all heroes have been so lucky.  Nearly all the Justice League members found themselves wearing the same weird collar as of their 2011 revamp, and recent redesigns for He-Man have fallen prey to the same cut-and-paste design issues, but none have had it as bad as Peek-A-Boo Invisible Woman, Atlantic Camouflage Aquaman or the horrifying ’90s Armored Daredevil chase figures uniform revamps…

The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) always kind of preferred Hawkeye in his peek-a-book harness Goliath costume, though the one with the skirt was a scream as well, asking: What do you consider the absolute WORST costume redesign in history?

By far the most interesting thing about the first Harry Potter movie (aside from the stunt-casting of Hans Gruber and nearly every great British actor in the known universe) was the competition for The House Cup.  Though the plot naturally drifted towards fighty-fighty and noseless perfidy, it was interesting to see the characters focused on the competition.  Though sports and nerdery are often natural enemies in the wood, it’s still fun to see fictional characters pitted against one another…

The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) can’t wait to hear how the Batman fans manipulate this one, asking: What’s the most impressive competition/award in all of pop culture?

Sometimes, it’s difficult to decide between two good things.  One sometimes isn’t sure whether one wants chocolate or peanut butter, between surf and turf, between things and ideas.  Sometimes, you wake up at the crack of noon, and think “It’s gig time…  What T-shirt am I gonna wear?  Can’t decide… Can’t DECIDE..  BRAIN ANEURYSM!!!”  The same is often true of our pop culture, such as combining Cain Marko and Meredith Brooks (bonus points for those who got that) and inevitably leading to today’s burning query…

The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) thought that “all the powers of the Legion Of Super-Heroes circa 1961″ was a bit like overkill, asking: What TWO characters would you merge to make the most formidable composite?

There are a lot of stories about the late Elvis Presley, all of which are true, even the ones that are lies.  That’s kind of the nature of pop-culture immortality, much to Richard Gere’s eternal regret.  Still, one that’s reputedly accurate is that Elvis modeled his famous haircut and his later-period jumpsuits after his favorite comic-book hero, Captain Marvel, Junior.  You can easily see that influence, but the King made the look his own, and spawned an entire industry of impersonators, some of whom take the look back to its roots and try to fly.  Either way, it’s the kind of nugget of trivia that makes one consider matters of haberdashery…

The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) considers how well one might pull off the signature fedora and turtleneck of the Phantom Stranger, asking:  If you were to steal one fictional character’s look, who would it be and why?
