Superhero costumes have long been a popular theme for Halloween dress up. Though Batman and Spider-Man have been some of the top costumes, options have recently expanded with the increased amount of Superhero films being released. And while capes, spandex, and masks have mostly been a kids' game, there are tons of superhero costumes for adults who want to dress up as their favorite characters from the latest superhero blockbusters.
It’s time, once again, for the Avengers to assemble. However, this time might be the last. If you’ve been following the Marvel Cinematic Universe over the past decade, you know that big things are on the horizon for Earth’s mightiest heroes. Avengers: Infinity War is set up to be one of the biggest on-screen team ups in the history of big-time Superhero movies. A movie like this that might feature up to 76 characters could make for one epic group Halloween costume. Check out our epic list of superhero costumes for kids and adults and figure out how you’re going to assemble your team of Avengers.
Iron Man Costumes

Tony Stark has some of the coolest tech in the Marvel universe, which shouldn’t come as a surprise because he’s a billionaire. Dressing as Iron Man for Halloween doesn’t mean you have to wear a real metal suit, though. Do you know how heavy that would be? There are Iron Man suits for men and women (though that would just be an Iron Woman costume, right?) made from fabric or molded plastic. If you're looking for a true metal suit, you may have to forge your own.
Captain America Costumes

Another character leading the charge among the Avengers is Captain America. Steve Rogers has become both one of the most popular and most hated Avengers, depending on which side you’re on after Captain America: Civil War, but there’s no denying his strength and leadership are needed in the fight to save the world from the mad titan Thanos.
Spider-Man Costumes

Do you wish you could do whatever a spider can? Find the perfect Spider-Man suit that will help you climb walls, leap from buildings and shoot webs...okay, maybe you won’t have those powers, but you’ll still look like a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. This, however, is a good thing because with great power comes great responsibility. Since you don’t have the powers, why would you have to worry about the responsibility?
Black Widow Costumes

Black Widow might be the toughest Avenger of them all. She doesn’t have a high-tech suit or a shield made out of advanced metal to protect herself, yet she manages to do some damage when it comes time to fight. It certainly doesn't matter what kind of trouble she finds herself in, she's resourceful enough to take care of herself and even puts up with the cumbersome task of keeping heroes like Iron Man, Captain America, and even Hulk in check.
Thor Costumes

Thor, son of Odin and god of thunder, had just finished up one of his most important adventures in saving the people of Asgard in the exciting and hilarious Thor: Ragnarok. While Thor may have recently undergone a physical transformation in losing his long hair in the movies, but anyone who knows the character knows that he’s most recognizable with his long hair. If you’re not in a big group, you can pair your Thor costume with a Hulk costume.
Incredible Hulk Costumes

Incredible Hulk costumes are a smash! If you’re feeling angry (or are always angry), express some rage dressed up as Bruce Banner in full Hulk mode. The green suit speaks for itself and you can choose whether you want to go with a mask, a simple wig, or full-on green makeup. If you're looking for a fun couples costume idea, there are some options with Hulk. You can dress up Tony Stark, his scientific counterpart in the MCU, Black Widow, his love interest, or his buddy Thor from his latest cinematic adventure in Thor: Ragnarok.
Black Panther Costumes

All hail the king! After making waves at the box office, Black Panther has quickly become one of the more popular Marvel superheroes in the entire MCU. Next to the Iron Man Suit, Black Panther’s suit is one of the best superhero costumes in movies because it's virtually indestructible and can absorb the energy of the hits it takes and can use it as a counter attack. Much like his home country of Wakanda, the Black Panther is one of the more stealthy superheroes, so it should also come as no surprise that his entire suit can be carried around in a necklace and forms around his body when he needs to leap into action. With these Black Panther costumes, you still achieve the stealth look, but you'll need to put them on the old fashioned way.
Guardians of the Galaxy Costumes

If you’re looking to assemble a team of misfits, the Guardians of the Galaxy are probably more your style. Whether you’re looking to dress as a cunning leader like Star Lord, a skilled fighter like Gamora, or a trash-talking raccoon like Rocket, these costumes will put the fun in dysfunctional. Dressing up as the Guardians of the Galaxy is a great idea, but your group costume is going to need a few things: a sweet ride to cruise the galaxy with, an awesome mix filled with killer tracks, and a Groot.
Avengers Costumes
Top left to bottom right: Adult Hawkeye Costume, Adult Doctor Strange Costume, Adult Ant-Man Costume, Adult Vision Costume, Adult Winter Soldier Costume, Kids Hawkeye Costume, Kids War Machine Costume, Kids Ant-Man Costume, Kids Falcon Costume, Kids Winter Soldier Costume
Of course, there are many more superheroes in the Avengers. One might argue there are too many, but if you’re looking to assemble the biggest group of heros, you’re going to need the biggest selection of costumes. Plus, you can’t count out secondary characters that may end up playing a big role. Superheroes like Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, or the Winter Soldier himself, Bucky Barnes. Of course, you can't forget Hawkeye either, although the promotions for Avengers: Infinity War seems to have.
So, who are you going to be recruiting on your team in order to save the world or, you know, win the annual Halloween costume contest? Everyone has their own favorite superhero, but there's just something extra cool about seeing so many cool heroes coming together. If you want to dress up for the premiere of the latest superhero team-up film or solo adventure, round up your pals and check out all of these superhero costumes to put together your own unique team.
