| 8 | Iceman |
Okay, I have to respect ambition in the field of cosplay, but there are some superheroes that should probably be left to CGI. Case in point: Iceman. There just isn't a way to simulate having your entire body being transformed into frozen water. This guy does his best, but it's just not good enough.
| 7 | The Hulk |
Cosplaying as the Hulk is never going to work right. Best-case scenario you do a ton of steroids, paint yourself green and do your best Lou Ferrigno, but you'll never be able to capture the inhuman size and development of the green goliath. Or you can go the other way and try to construct something to simulate it, which basically makes you look like a big styrofoam puppet. Either way you lose.
| 6 | The Flash |
There's a lot of problems with cosplaying as the Flash. First and foremost, there have been like a zillion of them, and none of them have any discernable character or personality at all except the one with the soup bowl on his head, and you don't want to be that guy. The real downside to dressing as the Flash is that people are going to expect you to run really fast. And let's be frank: you probably can't. You might have been in good shape in high school but you aren't powering any Cosmic Treadmills, buddy.
