11 of the Best Men’s Marvel Costumes in the Universe

Here are Marvel costumes for men who secretly want to be superheroes

Marvel is so hot right now that you could say it’s the year of Stan Lee, the legendary comics editor. And it’s no wonder Marvel superheroes are so popular; they rock amazing superpowers and save the world—time and time again. So, it’s time to show some appreciation for the guys of Marvel—from the all-American hero to the darker villains we all secretly adore. Of course, your favourite probably depends on your own hidden alter-ego. Are you the strong muscly type? Do you love to swing from buildings? Or, are you more of a smash-‘em-up type of dude? As a tribute to the god of the Marvel universe, here are Stan’s 11—the best Marvel’s costumes for men that kick-arse.

The top 11 men’s Marvel costumes

1. Black Panther

Well-educated, powerful, and wealthy, Black Panther is one of the most elite superheroes in the Marvel universe. His sleek and sexy black suit, coupled with his royalty and stern demeanour, makes him one of the hottest bachelors with a net worth of approximately more than 500 billion dollars. Strengths: Although he’s not a superhuman, he’s impressively strong and able to lift 750 pounds. He’s also a gymnast, acrobat, and an expert tracker. Also known as: T’Challa, the King of Wakanda. Famous quote: ‘In times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers’.

2. Deadpool

If you’re a smart-arse who’s looking to win back your lover then Deadpool’s your jam. This wisecracking mercenary is fun to hang out with and is able to crack a joke in any situation. And if you think your sweetheart digs cars, wait until you go for a spin together in your teleportation device—major draw-card. Strengths: Superhuman healing factor that includes regrowing limbs (cool, hey?), as well as super reflexes, and agility. Also known as: Wade Wilson. Famous quote: ‘Daddy needs to express some rage’.

3. Iron Man

It’s no surprise that Iron Man is the superhero most women want to date. If you’re single and searching for a lass, this is your go-to. He’s rich, amazingly handsome, and has the best sense of humour (major checkpoints on anyone's dating list). If you’re a bit of a bad boy but you have a heart of gold, you’re going to rock being Iron Man. Strengths: Although his armour gives him superhuman strength, he’s known for being a genius and making major discoveries and inventions in technology. Also known as Tony Stark. Famous quote: ‘Give me a scotch. I’m starving’.

4. Captain America

What’s not to love about the all-American hero who believes in human rights and fights for justice and happiness for all? Full of hope with an ability to see the good in all people, it's easy to get drawn to his muscly physique and charm. Plus, he’s awesome at making decisions, so he’ll solve the whole ‘what do you want for dinner’ debate within seconds. Strengths: Agility, strength, speed, enhanced endurance and reaction time, along with a unique hand-to-hand combat style that pays tribute to his masterful boxing and judo skills. Also known as: Steve Rogers. Famous quote: ‘I can do this all day’.

5. Hulk

If you’re a guy who loves to smash it up a little (and we’re talking more than avo on toast), can pull off the colour green, and loves to stand out, Hulk is your man. Although he's not traditionally what you would call a looker, some babes might want to take on the challenge of taming your inner-Hulk and trying to be the one to steal your heart. Strengths: Everyone knows it’s Hulk's super-human strength that sets him apart from the rest. Also known as: Robert Bruce Banner. Famous quote: ‘Hulk smash’.

6. Spider-Man

Everyone loves Spider-Man—everyone. Maybe it’s his sense of humour, his powers, or the fact that he’s the type of guy who could be your best friend, but Spider-Man really is one of the greatest superheroes of all time. And secretly, any one of us could be Spider-Man: the nerdy guy living next door who happens to crawl across his roof at times. Strengths: His spidey senses which warn him of potential danger and his knack for sticking to things and swinging between buildings—that’s cool enough! Also known as: Peter Parker. Famous quote: ‘Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: With great power, comes great responsibility’.

7. Wolverine

As a guy who doesn’t take sh*t from anyone, he’s a bit of a warrior by day and a sensitive lover by night. Wolverine doesn’t need super suits, weapons, or armour to be cool—it’s those sexy sideburns that get all the attention. And those claws; who doesn't dig head pats? Strengths: His heightened senses allow him to see and hear things miles away; he can shrug off bullets and rejuvenate, while his claws give the best back scratches ever. Also known as: Originally James Howlett, he now goes by Logan. Famous quote: ‘Do I look like a man who exaggerates?'

8. Ant-Man

An icon for all the bad boys, Ant-Man proves that sometimes powerful things do come in small packages. Although you won’t have shrinking abilities which allow you to enjoy the fun associated with being that small (flashback to ‘Honey I shrunk the kids’ kind of fun), you will get to wear a super cool mask, and be the king of the ants. Strengths: Size doesn’t always matter, with Ant-Man’s superpower allowing him to reduce himself to the size of an ant or smaller. Also known as: Scott Edward Harris Lang. Famous quote: ‘One question—is it too late to change the name?’

9. Thor

Thor is by far the hunkiest of all superheroes. Perhaps it was Chris Hemsworth (People Magazine’s sexiest man alive) who made all the women swoon, but hey, it’s worth a try to get the same attention in a costume. And you get to carry around a big hammer as the God of Thunder (a great way to excuse those lower rumbles after a few beers). Strengths: Thor’s hammer is the ultimate weapon, and his immunity to all human diseases means he'll never skip a date due to the ‘man-flu’. Also known as: Jake Olsen. Famous quote: ‘I have no plans to die today’.

10. Cyclops

Poor Cyclops isn’t very loved and is often the most disliked mutant. So, if you’re a bit, well, unique, perhaps Cyclops is your perfect alter ego. He’s known for being a little bit of a player who manages to have a ‘psychic affair’ with a villain (Dean, eat your heart out…). Making up for his weak character is his super sexy appeal, muscles, and the one eye thing. Strengths: His smouldering looks and the ability to project a beam of ruby-coloured force from his eyes. Also known as: Scott Summers. Famous quote: ‘Never seen someone handsome with one eye?’

11. Magneto

When you love being the good guy and the bad guy, you’re a true Magneto fan. Perfect for the older guys out there who still want to be babe magnets, Magneto is hugely powerful and wants peace and happiness for all mutants. A fighter for those who aren’t the ‘norm’, Magneto is so popular he comes back movie after movie. Strengths: He’s magnetic—he can shape and manipulate magnetic fields, like a real babe magnet. Also known as: Magnus Famous quote: ‘I am no hero. Merely a man who has seen and done and endured what can never be forgotten or forgiven’.
