The Riddlers from 1960s

In the 1960s Batman Series, the Riddler was played by Frank Gorshin and John Astin. The Riddler was an arch-nemesis of Batman. Riddler is the original clue-dropping criminal. He delights in challenging Batman and Robin with his puzzles that he leaves behind at crime scenes, always pointing to where he will be next.

Frank Gorshin's Riddler had 2 riddler costumes that he would wear. One was simply the green jumpsuit with the large question mark in the middle of it, and the other was a suit with the bowler hat and white gloves.

John Astin's Riddler character only wore the green jumpsuit, but his Riddler character however introduced the Riddler's cane which was basically a stick with a question mark as the handle. Finding a Riddler costume may be a little harder than you think, so you can buy a green spandex bodysuit, or you could always take a green blazer, using a black marker draw your own question marks in different directions on it or make the question marks out of black material.

The Original Carol Danvers Ms Marvel Costume

Although Carol would switch to different costumes over the years, I miss her original Ms Marvel Costume.

When Carol Danvers first appeared as Ms. Marvel, she was wearing a modified version of Captain Marvel’s costume. The costume is a red and blue bodysuit with an eight-point yellow star centered on the chest. However, her bodysuit did not cover much of her body. There were no legs on the bottom and the top had diamonds cut out of the front and back. This left her legs, lower back, and midriff exposed. Her blue boots with red strip at the top matched her costume and she also wore a blue mask to hide her identity. Rather than a cape, Ms. Marvel wore a long red scarf that created the same flowing effect.

The second Ms. Marvel’s costume was very similar to her first in appearance. However, it was much more conservative. There were still no leggings but the diamonds cut out of the front and back were gone. Carol had a solid top covering her entire upper half.
