I honestly think Spiderman's change from normal costume to orange armoured version was really strange, but then again I never really followed Spider man only the Ultimate Spiderman, so I wouldn't know if it was a smart decision or what not.

Nowhere. Now here.
I've always thought that among the X-Men, Dazzler and Psylocke have had the weirdest changes from not smexy (Dazzler's disco gear, Psylocke's armor) to smexy (Dazzler's leather jacket & jeans, Psylocke's barely-there ninja getup), or vice versa.

I think Psylocke wins, for me. After making the ultimate costume-change and suddenly becoming Asian, her outfits just got ridiculous. Does anyone remember her Lady Mandarin armor? Dear God... I don't think that was a turn on for anyone but Stryfe.

Speaking of which, Styfe would totally make my list... but his costume has always been pretty consistantly horrible - I can't say he had a crazy costume change when he never had a good costume to begin with.

Deadpool would also make my list, if I could work in reverse. Ignoring all of his wacky costume changes over the course of his comics, (sumo wrestler, X-man, Marvel Girl - to name a few) the early days with all those Liefeld-induced pouches? Yikes.

Yeah, but I almost feel like Psylocke's costume switches (though ridiculous) were totally warranted. You wake up one day with a badass Asian ninja body/persona/etc., you can't just roll out in the same ridiculously lame purple and pink get up you've been wearing...right?

I also always thought Storm's punk look was pretty justified as well (I was a fan, clearly).

I was also always a fan of Rogue's changes. I hated the yellow and green with the bomber jacket - but other than that pretty much all her costumes have been great - and I can count about 4 not including that one right off the top of my head...

I thought the Frank Quietly X-Men stuff was great - too bad they retconned it out.

Small change or not, I'm just glad Supergirl's got some damn shorts on under that skirt - though a better change would be shorts or pants etc. instead of a skirt. :)
