Suggestion for the next CC...

The theme would be ridiculous heroes...

Gotta narrow it down a bit, that's 95% of the characters.  :)

No, it just means that you have to get creative about your costume. Also, I think that there should be an exclusion in the theme -- simply assembling a discordant and eye-searing color explosion of color should not, by itself, qualify  you for the theme; you need to make the costume itself ridiculous. Certainly, color will almost certainly be part of it (look at DC's classic Joker ensemble, for example), but picking your outfit colors while colorblind is not sufficiently ridicule-worthy for this.

The issue, IMO, is separating "ridiculous" from "bad taste" or, as you put it "a discordant and eye-searing color explosion".  I also think there should be some distinction between characters that are ridiculous by happenstance vs those that are ridiculous by design...
