At Great Gets, we love Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman as much as the next fan. But as great as the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight are, they are totally overdone when it comes to Halloween costumes. That is why we put together this list of unique superhero costumes! These outfits strike the perfect balance between being off the beaten track and being mainstream enough to be recognizable. Plus, we have included unique superhero costumes costume ideas from upcoming superhero TV shows and movies, so you will be ahead of the curve!
Unique Superhero Costumes
When it comes to female superheroes, we love strong, smart women! And Agent Peggy Carter is one heck of a feminist icon. Sure, she started out as Captain America’s love interest, but she is an independent gal. She is now starring in her own TV series on ABC, fighting against both super villains and misogyny. This strong, classy lady is a top secret agent, a skilled markswoman, and a force of nature, but you will never see her trademark red lipstick smudge. To dress up like Peggy Carter, you will need four things: a royal blue suit, a red hat, a killer pair of heels, and a take-no-prisoners attitude!

If you want to go for a sexier, sultrier, and less expensive look, you could also do a royal blue pencil skirt and a matching blazer!

The CW’s gritty, realistic take on the Green Arrow has become a cultural phenomenon. We love Oliver Queen — he’s like a crossover between Batman and Gossip Girl! “Arrow” is so popular that its creators even developed a spin-off, “The Flash.” The protagonists of these shows have different styles of crimefighting, and it shows in their costumes. The Green Arrow keeps to the shadows, and the Flash is, well, flashy. The Flash might be a great pick for a man who doesn’t want to make a big fuss out of his Halloween costume. Pick whichever fits your superhero alter ego best!

We are so excited for the premiere of another TV show starring a spunky heroine: Supergirl, starring Melissa Benoist. Kara Zor-El takes after her cousin, Superman, fighting crime and saving the world in her costume of red, blue, and an “S” across her chest. Supergirl will premiere on CBS on October 26, just in time for Halloween!
Supergirl Child & Toddler Costumes
The X-Men exploded on the silver screen 15 years ago, and they have been going strong ever since. There have been seven movies so far, with X-Men: Apocalypse set to come out next year. We cannot wait to see which new mutants are set to debut! For now, satisfy that x-factor by dressing up as your favorite mutant. These would also make great group costumes.
