The more said about Doctor Doom the better. Because Zero Context Example.


* All the costumes in ''Film/{{Fantastic Four|2015}}'' (2015). Mr. Fantastic, the Human Torch and the Invisible Woman all have [[MovieSuperheroesWearBlack boring black body suits]] that look like leftovers from the original ''X-Men'' movies, which were fine in the early 2000's, but now just look outdated in an era where film studios have finally embraced colorful, comic-accurate superhero costumes. The Thing looks fairly faithful to his comic counterpart, but has no pants for some reason, drawing attention to his BarbieDollAnatomy. And the less said about ComicBook/DoctorDoom, the better.

** There were a lot of complaints that Doom looks like a homeless person wearing burned trash bags after his transformation (it's a bit justified in-story considering that his "armor" is actually
the less said about ComicBook/DoctorDoom, burnt remains of his suit, but many were hoping for a costume closer to the better.source material.) There were also complaints that the movie was going for the "metallic face" explanation as opposed to actually giving the character a mask (oddly enough, the 2005 movie had both of these things.). The complaints were even worse after the scene where Doom rampages through the halls, at which point people started claiming that he looked like a crash test dummy.

* Ask any member of the Canadian Armed Forces about the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CADPAT CADPAT]] boot, and they'll either burst out laughing or not have any clue what you're talking about. This is because the [=CADPAT=] boot was such an abysmal failure it was discontinued after it's earliest preliminary testing and only a handful of soldiers ever received them. [=CADPAT=] is short for Canadian Disruptive Pattern and is the name of the camouflage worn by the CAF, and it being very effective (to the point the US Marines [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MARPAT MARPAT]] is based on it) someone actually decided to put this same design ''on their boots''. It's bad enough it made soldiers look like they [[https://strikehold.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/dnd_tcb_catpat_tw.jpg were wearing a onesie]], but the pattern would quickly begin to crumble off in a matter of weeks.

** The assorted attempts to design Kryptonian formal garb, especially from the Byrne era, have caused more than a few snickers. Most of them tend to either Parodied in ''ComicBook/AllStarSuperman'', where "Kryptonian formalwear" apparently consists of wearing your underwear outside your pants. Either that, or Bar-El was screwing with ComicBook/JimmyOlsen's head. (Leo Quintum's borrowed outfit is just as silly, but not in the same way, something he's grateful for -- it's actually the outfit of obscure Kryptonian hero and occasional Jimmy Olsen alter-ego Flamebird.)
