Super-men in tights

We don't often (okay, never) link to comic book news portal Bam! Kapow!, but when they posted their list of the Top Ten Skimpiest Superhero Costumes, well, we just couldn't resist.

We're kind of reminded of a queer Halloween party. There's the Silver Surfer, all aglitter wearing nothing but a bottle of body spray. The lone twink in the crowd is the Boy Wonder, Robin; where did he get those Speedos? And, of course, a bunch of muscle Marys, all pumped up and rarin' for some action.

The list is prefaced with an explanation that it's a follow up to last weeks "Top Ten Skimpiest Superheroine Costumes" and that "this one,  as they say, is for the ladies (And, um, some of the men, depending on your inclination)." Well, thank-you for the acknowledgement, Bam! Kapow!
