Superman is DC's most famous hero for a reason, and with decades of history behind the character, he has seen plenty of costume changes.

With his excellent run in the comics and his movie meeting a positive fan-reception, Blue Beetle is long overdue for some mainstream merchandise. A LEGO helmet would be an excellent way for his fans to celebrate the character. Though there are three Blue Beetles with excellent masks to choose from, Jaime Reyes’ helmet suits LEGO the best.

The metallic nature of the helmet, coupled with it covering Jaime’s whole face, make it perfect for a non-organic LEGO look. The metallic colors and alien details of the helmet would allow LEGO to go all out in making it look as cool and as accurate as possible.

Though the Suicide Squad is known for having a constantly rotating roster, one of its most constant members is the deadly assassin known as Deadshot. With the Suicide Squad getting more and more mainstream appeal, it would be fitting for one of it’s most popular members to get a LEGO helmet set.

Deadshot’s mask has appeared as both all white or silver, either of which would make for an eye-catching design. But what makes it really stand out is the large red eyepiece. That feature would help the mask stand out and also be a lot of fun to build around.

6 Peacemaker

A Unique Helmet Just Begging To Be Built

Peacemaker has gone from being one of comics’ most obscure characters to being nearly a household name. With his own show, an increased role in the comics, and a guest slot in Mortal Kombat 1, Peacemaker has been getting more and more mainstream appeal. It would be fitting that he be part of LEGO’s helmet line.

Peacemaker’s helmet is the most distinctive part of his costume, which would make a themed LEGO set appropriate. It’s unusual shape and various decals are sure to make it stand apart from the usual helmet fare. If LEGO uses shiny silver bricks, this set is sure to be an attention-grabbing addition to any shelf.

5 Batgirl

An Iconic Hero With Tons Of Possibilities

While Batgirl’s mask does have a similar look to Batman’s, it still differs enough in shape and color to make it worth turning into a set. Batgirl’s relation to Batman is sure to get attention from mainstream audiences, and her innate popularity will help this set fly off the shelves.

A Sleek Design With Goggles Is Guaranteed To Be A Fun Build
