As my recruitment drive for the Bizarro Bad Guys continues, it's time for you to pick another member.
This time, the spotlight falls on Marvel's planet-devouring space god Galactus. Anything but the awe-inspiring cosmic menace created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, the costumed contestants below were all plucked from various internet photo sites to compete for the title of Bizarro Galactus...in other words, the costume that gets the most votes for being the absolute worst of these goofy Galactuses (Galacti?).
Next, click on your choice for your least favorite Galactus costume in the poll below. You'll have between now and October 29th to vote, with the winner announced on Halloween Day (along with the winners of the Dr. Doom and yet-to-be-announced character groups).

It's like Galactus #1 is using Marge Simpson's hairstylist while getting fashion tips from the Unknown Comic (of classic Gong Show fame). For the record, number 3 is my favorite.

You know, while the first Galactus is bad, it does foster in me the awe and fear that I think Galactus should inspire.
That's why I think #4 is by far the worst. Not only is it bad, but who could be terrified by that? He looks like a Barbie accesssory.

#3 actually looks sorta like Galactus. The others are clearly distorted caricatures. So #3 doesn't look to Bizarro to me. I went for #2.

#1 is my favorite. The plaid shirt is nice and goofy.

In my humble opinion, the key is remembering that Bizarros are "imperfect duplicates" by definition. #1 is certainly imperfect, but isn't trying hard enough, I think, and isn't sufficiently close on the "duplicate" part. #3, as Ivan says, actually is pretty close to looking like Galactus, so isn't "imperfect" enough. Thus, for me, it was between 2 and 4, with 2 winning out... mostly for his cheerfulness, I think.

This is hard. #1 is clearly the one I want to party with most, but #4 is the worst costume I've ever seen!

#1 is clearly the worst Tim Ryan of all time.

Number one is ME! The costume started out bad, but what you see in the picture is after a couple of nights of partying in it. The helmet got smashed up when we were thrown off stage during a band's performance by security. They pulled my feet out from under me by the ankles, and I landed right on my head. (I'm not kidding) At least the first night the helmet wasn't as banged up, and I did have on a purple shirt, at least. Thanks for your votes!

I know that #1 Galactus haha you can't see them in the picture, but he also had spray-painted pink converse all-stars and shorts to go with the helmet and dishwashing gloves.
Oh and the guy beside his right arm was Dr.Doom....
There's also a real good electro I saw hanging out with those guys, and by real good I mean completely terrible.
