This year, we're ditching the traditional superhero costumes for these fab girl-power and patriarchy-smashing options. For those of you who want to strut your super stuff this Halloween, here's how.
Girl Power
Supergirl
With the incredible sucess of the CBS-turned-CW show Supergirl, costumes portraying the girl of steel should not be difficult to find this year.
Supergirl costume:Party City, $49.99
Supergirl dress:Spencer's, $29.99
Wonder Woman
Superhero T-shirts are everywhere these days. Grab a WW tee and some red leggings, and you're good to go! Add in a starry tutu and a yellow crown and wristbands, and people won't be able to tell you apart from Gal Gadot.
Wonder Woman T-Shirt:Hot Topic, $22.50
Blue tutu:Walmart, $7.91
Black Widow
Transforming yourself into Black Widow is as easy as wearing a black shirt, black leggings and combat boots.

Black Canary
Go for the Sara Lance version (so much better than Laurel).
