Staff Picks

J.K. Schmidt: Blue and Yellow

Charlie Ridgely: I really like Back in Black version

Christian Hoffer: I kind of like the Gwenpool costume.

Dallas Jackson: Deadpool teasing as an X-Man -- wish the masked changed with the costume, though.

Chris Killian: The burnt-to-a-crisp Ryan Reynolds nude fight version.

GwenPool

Okay okay, so this isn't Wade Wilson persay, but if any character was going to break the bounds of being stricly defined by his character, it's Deadpool, right? Right?

Whatever, you know what, the approaval isn't even needed. Gwenpool is on the list because she's just a crazy as Wade is, but yet happens to have a friendly "we might get together and play Pogs one day" vibe. Her outfit is a big part of that, with the birght purple and white color scheme offsetting the fact that she can kill you in literally an instant, and probably without getting any blood on her clothes.

Lady Deadpool

Deadpool tends to love his look, so it takes a lot for him to let someone else use it. Only a few have that oh so elusive honor, a group that includes Wanda Wilson. Wanda is the Earth 3010 counterpart to Wade, and doses out violence as well as he does, though with a much more 90's haircut. Not exactly "the Rachel" but whatever, it works for her.

Deadpool Modern

Good old Wade Wilson has had the red and black outfit pretty much since he debuted back in New Mutants #98, and if a costume is a perfection there's really no reason to alter it.

As a product of the Weapon X program, Wade has often done his dirty work in the classic costume, though it has received some tweaks along the way. A few extra grenade pouches here, some questionable 90's belts there, but overall the classic red and black with Deadpool belt buckle remains unblemished.

Deadpool (X-Force)

He didn't sport it for very long but few costumes seemed to complement the rather gray area that Deadpool lives in better than this X-Force costume.

The gray and black costume has a few red highlights, namely in the eyes and X-symbol, but more often than not the red on the suit was blood from some random encounter Wade had along the way. That nifty healing factor guarantees that he won't die from his wounds, but that doesn't mean he won't look gruesome while he's healing, like in the handy header image seen below.

Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds)

You might be confused to see this version of the costume in the top spot while the comic version is in the third spot. This decision is subjective of course, but then again to clarify this is a character who carried around his own zombified head for awhile and put Rhino in a keychain, so logic and reason really have no place in decision-making when it comes to Wade Wilson.

That said, the suit did take main inspiration from the classic suit and brought it to life on the big screen. This didn't apply to just the costume either, as the makeup on Ryan Reynolds to give him that, well, rather horrid facial look was also straight from the comics. They even got the CG eyes right. In short, it was just about perfect and takes the top spot it deserves.
