Top 10 Power Ranger/Sentai Costumes

Hello again fellow Ranger Nation and metalgods alike.

This top 10 list we will be covering all the best costumes from the comics, sentai and overall power rangers itself. As long as they can morph and have ranger in the name they are going to be on the list. However i am making an exception with Number 3 on my list because he was a ranger and then power corruption happened and so his suit is a mix of two ranger suits so you know. 

10: Yellow Liveman
A series i never watched or was never introduced to the western world is Liveman but I got to say since i first saw their designs, i thought they looked pretty cool but more precisely the Yellow costume looks best. 

9: Red Gokaiger
Oh what a shame we never got a Captain Marvelous of our own or a good season with the adaption of Gokaiger here in the west. Supermegaforce sucked! Gokaiger got it right and their designs are so cool i love them. 

8: Gold Zeo 
Gooooold raaaangeeer gooooold ranger, go gold ranger! What a cool costume and character this ranger is. Black on gold oh boy killer just killer. 

7: Dairanger White
Now we may not have received this season in the west as close as possible we did get some things such as this costume and the zords. White ranger was totes the best of the dairanger.  

6: Dinothunder White
Black, white and some red, evil to start but became good he is the modern or was the modern Tommy. This costume just is so badass i had to list it. 

5: DarkRanger Kyoryuger
Also known as the Talon Ranger in the current run of the boom comics. This blue is so cool and is master of the dinocharge spinozord and sadly he never made it to the dinocharge series as this ranger appeared in the sentai counterpart's movie and is quite a powerful fan fave. I love the outfit and cant wait to see more. 

4: Red Lupinranger
The Lupinranger outfits are lit, i love the the capes and the colour schemes and red if my fave. 

3: Lord Drakkon
I know Tommy appears quite a bit on this list lol but come on his outfits are quite amazing and Lord Drakkons outfit is just so badass a combo of white and green mmpr just legendary. His other forms of his suit are pretty epic too but his original is very iconic. 

2: Uchu Sentai Kyurangers
All of their outfits i love it's just so unique, i hope this gets a good adaption in the west if it happens. Purple, black and the second red costumes i love best of this team. 

1: MMPR Green
The MMPR outfits in general are all so very iconic but i have to pick green out of them because yes its badass, yes its another tommy based costume on this list BUT COME ON! Green was always my fave colour. 

And that's all for this list folks, stay shiny, and let's get back to action soon ok?

Top 10 Spiderman Costumes

*Thwip thwip* Oh hi there, it's me your friendly neighbourhood 1stMetalGod! Just here blogging once again this time with Spiderman and my fave costumes of his! 
Some spider costumes on my list wont be all by Peter Parker.....tell me who is your fave spidey!

10) Superior Suit Mk2
To make himself a better Spider-Man, Octavius designed a new suit similar to the original Spider-Man suit, but with some modifications, these being that blue on the original costume was now replaced with black, the design of the symbol on the back was changed, the web design on the mask (mainly around the nose) was changed, the design of the belt is spikier, the lenses on the mask were now made of glass and could show a Heads-Up Display, all of the fingers on the gloves have retractable claws on them, and the big toe on both boots is separated from the rest of the foot and both have retractable talons. He further modified it, lacing carbonadium in the mask to prevent a mind-switch, a built-in communications device to activate nano-spider-tracers, and creating "spider-arms" on the back; as a possible homage to his previous identity. I think this one is very similar to Ben Reilly's suit and i like both a lot but there's something about this one that makes it here. 

9) Iron Spider
Before the events of the Superhuman Civil War, Tony Stark fabricated a new red and gold costume for Peter, utilizing much of the same technology used for his Iron Man suit, with the main difference being the suit's mesh-like quality. This new suit provided Peter with advantages he never had before in other costumes, such as radio transmission scanners and receivers, multiple biological sensors for himself and others (such as EKG readings, pulse rates, etc.), multiple vision settings, deflection of small caliber firearms, enhanced strength and limited gliding capabilities. The Iron Spider costume also provided Peter with three retractable pseudo-arms, named waldoes, though they weren't ideal for fighting. If Peter ever felt that he would like a change of pace in his appearance, Stark also built in a feature for the costume to change its appearance at Peter's will. This was an ideal feature for Peter because he never had to worry about trying to hide his suit in public. We also got our first live action sneak peak at the suit in Spiderman: Homecoming and it looked nice but was missing the arms. 

8) Stealth Suit
Spider-Man created this suit to combat the Hobgoblin's sonic screams; the suit warps light and sound around it, rendering it invisible. It was later changed when Kaine had it. 

7) All-New, All-Different Spider-Man 2099
When Miguel joined Parker Industries, Peter created a new Spider suit for him. This version glows red, and can change colour. The suit material is Unstable Molecules bonded to kevlar to increase durability immensely. It has better-integrated "light byte" material to improve gliding, and thrusters integrated into the boots for launch. Distance offensive capabilities are provided by "spider-saucers" running down the sleeves and integrating into the gloves, and the suit also has on-board sensors for complete vicinity readings. I love the design of the suit more then the original. 

6) Noir 
Set in an alternate Earth during the great depression Peter found his Uncle was killed and wanted revenge. a spider statue – breaks open and releases a horde of spiders. One of the spiders bit Peter, causing him to pass out and dream of a spider god. After waking up, Peter discovered he possessed arachnid superpowers. Donning a mask, Peter confronted Norman Osborn in his home in order to get him to give up his hold over the city. However, Peter was shocked to discover Urich, who was revealed to have been blackmailing Osborn with his information on the mob boss in exchange for fueling his drug habit. Angered, Peter left Urich. Upon returning home, Peter created a costume based on his uncle's World War I-era airman uniform and became the vigilante, Spider-Man. This suit is really unique and i love it!

5)  Cosmic Spider
After defeating the Tri-Sentinel, the Uni-Power chose to remain with Peter Parker, apparently due to his heightened sense of responsibility. Spider-Man soon came to see his old sparring partners as pedestrian threats, dispatching the likes of Venom and Hobgoblin with little effort. His sense of responsibility led Parker to attack larger and larger problems in the world, ignoring his personal responsibilities and his wife, Mary Jane. This continued until he tried to alter the basic earth and weather patterns of Africa to make it lush and arable. This brought him into conflict with Thor and then Doctor Doom, who wanted to steal the Enigma Force using his Absorbascann. Doom tried using Captain Universe's original host, Ray Coffin, as a hostage, but Parker let him die while trying to get at Doom. Spider-Man realized the Uni-Power was corrupting his sense of responsibility and expelled it. The Uni-Power briefly entered Doom, only to discover it was a mere Doombot. As Spider-Man became Captain Universe again, he used the Absorbascann to release the power of the Enigma Force from his body over the entire world. The cost was his spider-powers as well as the Uni-Power, leaving Peter Parker a normal man. Or so it seemed until he and Mary Jane gave birth to a baby daughter with signs of the Uni-Power within her. I always thought his outfit was very unusual, unique and cool. 

4) Future Foundation Suit
This suit was created for Spider-Man when he joined the Future Foundation following the death of the Human Torch. It is made from Unstable Molecules, thus it can repair itself, never get dirty, and change its appearance.

3) Spider Armour Mk3
Created by Peter Parker with Horizon Labs vast resources to fight the Sinister Six if needed in a last resort. When Doctor Octopus started his last master plan before dying, Spider-Man knew he would have to use it to stop Octopus' attempt to speed up the Greenhouse effect. The design on this is sic! 

2) Symbiote
During the Secret Wars, Spider-Man's costume was torn during battle and he was sent to a machine that would repair it. Unknown to Spider-Man, the machine was actually a prison that contained an alien symbiote, which copied Spider-Man's thoughts about the costume worn by Spider-Woman, and created a duplicate of it. Both during and after the Secret War, Spider-Man learned that the costume could respond to his thoughts, change its shape, and create a seemingly unlimited amount of organic webbing. However, after wearing the suit for some time, he began to feel unusually tired and consulted his friends, Reed Richards and Jonathan Storm. Richards said that the suit was actually an alien creature and that it was taking him web-swinging every night while he slept. Spider-Man then had Mr. Fantastic and the Human Torch remove the costume using both a sound wave generator and fire, as its only weaknesses are loud sound waves and intense heat, and locked it in a protective case. The suit eventually escaped and hung itself in Peter's closet, disguised as one of his red and blue costumes. Unfortunately, Peter grabbed the symbiote and it reattached itself to him, which forced Spider-Man to use the bells housed in Our Ladies of Saints church to remove the suit. Many issues later, the suit secretly found and bonded to Eddie Brock, who became Venom. I know there was no need to explain this suit as everyone and their grandmothers know the story but it's still awesome and the story gets changed a lot and this is the official first comic story of the suit.

1) Classic Red & Blue
Of course this is number 1! This is the traditional suit that Spider-Man has used throughout his career. It is made from a skintight cloth, most likely Spandex or similar. The costume is mostly blue with red gloves, boots, mid-section, and mask. Peter designed a web pattern that covers the red portions of the suit, starting at the mask. The suit also has a black spider in the centre of the chest and a larger red spider on the back, both of different designs. The mask has plastic lenses with a chrome covering that allow Peter to see out, without letting others see in. The lenses also protect Peter's eyes from dust particles and the glare of the sun while he is swinging through the city. In addition, the mask helps to conceal Peter's identity by muffling his voice, thus making it unrecognisable to others. He also wears a twin set of web shooters on his wrists under the gloves. A web cartridge belt is also worn under the suit, which has a spider-signal on the buckle. The suit also contains a special ear-piece that protects Spider-Man from the effects of Hobgoblin's sonic attack. Spider-Man has recently updated the lenses of the suit to protect himself from Iguana's hypnotic stare.

Which suit is your favourite? 

A LIST OF MOVIE SUITS IS TO COME SOON!
For now that's all from me, thanks for visiting and reading, stay shiny!

Top 10 Batman Bat-Suits

Hello and welcome back to my blog now please remove your shoes as we enter the Bat cave to look at my 10 fave Batman costumes and not all of them are Bruce's.....

10) 1st Batsuit
This is where it all started sharp looking cowl and cape and some purple gloves for some reason this was the Bats first suit he debut in comics. 75 years of The Batman has come with some changes but this one i put in 10th place for it being the first and it was drawn really nice like the style on it. Why the purple gloves? No idea. 

9) Arkham Knight bat suit
One of the most recent Bat games and suits see's this uniquely armoured outing with Batman what i like most about the suit is the logo which is disconnected at parts and when suitting up it all connects and locks together and its so versatile batman can literally do anything with no restrictions from the armoured plates. 

8) Batwing
Batwing is the Batman of Africa, a super-hero operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In his civilian identity he is a police officer fighting against corruption in the department. Using an arsenal of advanced technology supplied by Batman, his Batwing Suit is a powerful exo-skeleton. With his manservant Matu Ba, he wages a one-man war against evil to protect the city of Tinasha. He has been a member of Batman Incorporated, the Batman Family, the Kollektiv and Justice League International. His successor is Luke Fox, the son of Lucius Fox, who operates in Gotham City. Batwing was created by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham, first appearing in Batman Incorporated #5. (2011)

7) Hellbat
The Hellbat was an armor forged together by the Justice League and designed and built by Batman to help him fight in battles beyond his strength level. To this end it allows Batman to have increased physical abilities, but drains his metabolism, and can kill him if used too much. The armour itself was composed of a shifting nano kinetic metallic composition which could be shed and re-adorned to his person on command via voice activated computer A.I, with a built-in cloaking feature giving him total invisibility. It's such a badass suit! 

6) New 52 Batsuit
New 52 Batman is the current ongoing batman suit in the dc continuity as to when this blog was written. It's much sleeker and features a new logo and some little patterns on it which makes it unique i think and i like it and the new 52. 

5) Batman Beyond
I love BOTF aka BB and Terry Mcguinnes as Batman the show was top notch honestly if you have not seen the show go and watch it please it holds up well, is dark and entertaining much like the animated series and it does feature an aged Bruce who will still throwdown if you anger him. This suit of course is futuristic and it's features and gadgets are spectacular and make this suit so special. 

4) AzBat
The fight for who should next be the bat got a bit crazy at times and one guy who liked batman a lot who was crazy but had morales decided he should do it and basically went out made his on and started doing Batmans job when he was unable to. Azbat's justice delivery system came with loss of life. After Bruce Wayne was defeated and crippled by Bane, he nominated Jean-Paul Valley to take up the mantle of Batman while he recovered. While initially wearing Bruce Wayne’s uniform, Jean-Paul would eventually begin to succumb to his “programming”, becoming more and more corrupted by the crime he was fighting, and replaced the suit with his own tailor-made armour with razor disks, blades and hidden weapons, becoming a more aggressive and unstable Batman, known among comic-fans as the “Azbat” ("Azrael-Batman"). 

3) Thomas Wayne Flashpoint Suit
In the Flashpoint reality, Thomas Wayne - rather than Bruce - appears as Batman. Thomas is shown to have Joe Chill's gun in the Batcave's trophy display, from when he killed Chill in a brutal beating due to the latter killing his son Bruce in cold blood. Thomas is more violent than Bruce and willing to kill to achieve his goals, as shown when he throws a young villain named Yo-Yo off a rooftop after she refuses to cooperate with him to stop the Joker. So to be a harsher revenge driven Batman it requires the suit get altered so red piercing eyes and guns holstered to it in a dark black and grey colour scheme means, no jail time for criminals only death. 

2) Neil Adams Batsuit
This and number 1 on my list are the suits i was most exposed to as i grew up with their comics and tv shows i seen them the most. Famously drawn by the likes of Neal Adams and Jim Aparo, he eventually created a unique fire-retardant and chemical-resistant triple-weave Kevlar thread for the suit. The material had carbon nanotube fibers that imparted it with a unique sheen and made it heavily resistant to tearing. This material would go into the creation of all following batsuits and other suits in the Bat Family. The most notable traits of this evolution was the incorporation of the yellow ellipse around the bat emblem as well as the capsule utility belt. 

1) The Animated Series Suit
In Batman: The Animated Series (1992–1995) the Batsuit is based on the "New Look" costume. The cape, cowl, gloves, briefs and boots are dark blue, as indicated by the highlight. Occasionally the cape and cowl are also shown to be one piece and when he's not fighting, the cape sometimes resembles a cloak, draped over Batman's body. The costume lacks any armor qualities, instead being merely a body suit with no apparent special features and it often becomes torn in serious fights. It is occasionally seen packed in Bruce Wayne's luggage or in his vehicles, and it is made clear that he has numerous spares. My fave as its from one of my fave animated shows and takes on Batman on tv. 


Where's the movie suits? They will be covered in another list!
