I got this idea of a question when responding to the INHUMANS thread over in TV land.
What hero, in live action movies or TV, has been your favorite based only on how true their costume adhered to the iconic look of the comic books?
Besides Christopher Reeve as Superman, I don't recall any hero looking exactly the same, maybe one of the Spider-Man costumes got the closest. Maybe? Perhaps that 70s Spider-Man show that last only a season?
Who do you think got the closest?

Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman costume is pretty darn close. Other than perhaps being a bit chintzy looking (in retrospect) due to the budget limitations of 70s TV, I can't think of anything wrong with it.

Alec Baldwin's Shadow costume looks right
out of a Kaluta drawing. I don't know if
he counts since he's not strictly a comic
book character.
As bad as the film was, the RETURN OF
SWAMP THING costume was all Steve
Bissette.

Ghost Rider. Both movies and TV have been close, if not
spot on.

Lou Ferrigno spot on as the Hulk.
Ghost Rider from the first film looked fantastic. Too bad Cage was Johnny Blaze.
Remove the stupid helmet and transparent shield and Reb Brown was perfect as Captain America.

...
I'll have to go with Carter's Wonder Woman also.But I can't say the trueness of her costume was the only reason I tuned in :-)

The materials his outfit was made of were all wrong to me.
Serinda Swan, who is playing Medusa in INHUMANS, seemed spot-on
to me when she was playing this other superhero:

For about two seconds, Luke Cage. Also Tom Welling as Superman... that was about two seconds also.
Chris Reeve in Superman, absolutely.
Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman, sure.
I'm recalling that the first Black Canary in "Arrow" had the costume right, right down to the mask.
Black Widow and the Hulk in the Avengers movies seem pretty close to me. But in all truth, the Hulk is a gimme.
Phil Coulson looks great. :D
The Torch and the Thing looked spot on to me in the Fantastic Four movies. And Sue Storm Ricards looked right in the Fantastic Four movies... when she was using her powers. ;)
