Comic books thrive on bright colors, exciting action, and awesome costumes. You can tell a lot about a hero or a villain by their super garb.
We know the design and illustrations that go into making up our favorite comic heroes is an art form. Likewise, the costume designers who construct tangible, wearable designs from their own imaginations is also an art.
These people have to somehow make men in tights believable. We have to be okay with some dude swinging around in blue and red tights covered in spiderwebs. We have to believe in a star spangled hero from the past carrying a big patriotic shield.
These are those artists who create magic with their hands and sewing machines – these are the best adaptations of Marvel comics costumes!

Hulk - The Avengers
This one goes out to the CG wardrobe artists who finally found the right (and first) shade and style of purple shorts to not look ridiculous, and still strongly nod to the books. All of Banner's purple wardrobe was fantastic and sneaky as well.
Thor - Thor: Dark World
A literal god with a red cape, metal sleeves, large, chest orbs, and a quasi-viking helmet looking great on screen was simply incredible.
Spider-Man - The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Everything about this suit just works. The color, the fabric, the proportions, the eyes, everything. The absolute perfect adaptation of one of the most iconic costumes of all time. The movie on the other hand...
Crossbones - Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Having Crossbones sneakily (to non-comic fans) in the whole film by having him go by his real name, then having the character burnt to a crisp (allowing the characters face to reflect the comics), and his wearing of gun holsters criss-crossed to mirror his costume was sheer genius.
Gwen Stacy - The Amazing Spider-Man 2
The only non-superhero on this list. The outfit is so iconic and so well translated that as soon as we saw it in pictures and in advertisements, we knew the fate of the Gwen Stacy months ahead. Amazingly well replicated from the comics.
Captain America - Captain America: The Winter Soldier
His S.H.I.E.L.D. suit from the comics blends in perfectly with the real world! In our world, this doesn't look out of place in any way. A welcomed change from the very... tricky stars and stripes suit that never quite looks right in 3D.
Iron Man - The Avengers, Iron Man Et Al
Every iteration of the Iron Man armor is not only incredibly cool but somehow incredibly believable. We all totally bought a flying, laser shooting, human-piloted suit of armor for four, going on five movies now. All beautiful pieces of costuming.
Black Widow - Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Avoiding the one-piece spandex look that her comic book counterpart sometimes takes on, they smartly gave Scarlett Johansson a more tactical but still form fitting look that works nicely.
Batroc the Leaper - Captain America: The Winter Soldier
One of the silliest characters in all of comics coming across as any sort of threat on screen is an achievement. Putting him in purple and yellow and having other visual nods to the character in his costume is a miracle.
Wolverine - Days of Future Past
Wolverine is a hard guy to get right as far as adapting costumes go. They've tried to make his brown and yellow suit work (in The Wolverine a deleted scene, check it out, so cool), and they've succeeded in the whole tank top and jeans look. But for the first time, it felt like a snapshot of Wolverine from the comics was in Days of Future Past.
The tactical gear the movies insist upon, realistic pants, the dash of grey in the air (reflecting the source material) and most importantly a splash of blue and yellow.
