Hela was under consideration but did not make my list only because so many others had mentioned her. The film was not an influence for me; I have been struck by her design (it's really all about the headdress) since I first saw her as a kid, which I think was in The Superhero Women where she was drawn by John Buscema. Incidentally, that headdress seems to me one of those things that can't really translate to film (though I think its interpretation was good)--I never saw the "thorns" as three-dimensional, rather just flat black space, the kind of thing you can only do in a comic.

Yeah, I suppose it really is different for every reader. Nothing in superhero comics makes snese when you come right down to it, so we all have to suspend our disbelief in some way, and what some readers can ignore, or even enjoy, will spoil the illusion for others.

With Hela, as with many of Kirby's more out there designs, I think the design is more about creating an impression than practicality. The movie actually did something pretty clever with the head-dress by making it this sort of mysterious attribute that appeared and disappeared in a visually interesting way; I always figured that in the comics, the practical question of walking through doorways was pointless: the fact that she could do so in spite of this 6 foot wide head-piece was just another sign that she isn't any ordinary being. There's something magical, something more than human about her, and the outrageous costume is part of that.

That's the point I was trying to make on a previous post. Supermans look has been altered over the years but The one I like the most is the 60's look that included the underwear on the outside. Who created that ? 
Answer- It doesn't matter.
