Done doing these so here they all are in one place! Fully Dressed Redesigns of Superheroines.
Point of this: An exercise in character design, attempting to clothe the heroines nearly all the way and not making them painted-on, while still keeping the look of their original costumes in some way. Hopefully keeping them looking as iconic as the originally were. Just showing what can be done with a costume breaking outside the barrier of the norm.
NOT the point of this: some moral code I’m trying to push on you
Sorry if there was a character you wanted me to do that I didn’t get to!

SAILOR FREDDIE MERCURY.
I am Sailor Mercury — and in the name of Mercury I AM IMMORTAL! I HAVE INSIDE ME BLOOD OF KINGS!
Fuck the Negaverse — they have no defense against THIS! NO EVIL CAN STAND BEFORE THIS!!!!!!!

the logic seems infallible!
Well, it’s one thing to be an Atheist, but who told them it was alright to be a Heathen?
So. Off to Atheist Church for them. Or as we like to call it, “7-11.”
Because 7-11’s roller-based tortilla wrapped meat things are relics of a universe with no God, you see.

As a fan of both the West Wing and Star Trek Voyager, I love that the West Wing staff are the dead crew of Voyager. Taken from the episode “Imperfection!” They did spell the names wrong though. probably to avoid being sued by Warner Bros
WHAT WHAT WHAT I DID NOT KNOW THIS. HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING.
WHAT
Meanwhile, the first name I saw/recognsie was Lyndsay Ballard, and I was all “OH! I know what ep that shot is from!”
(Then again, 15 years ago, I maintained a ST:VOY website for stories about the lower decks crew, and updated the crew manifest on a weekly basis.)
FLAMINGO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
He was fat back cat cool like a Friday afternoon synthahol, chillin’ at a quarter after 1700 hours. Twist of lime, Tea Earl Grey Hot. The Captain loved the high life. Had a Ph.D. in Warp 9 stride. They called him ‘Captain Jackal.’
“Now, back to the part about no insurance. I know that the first instinct any time this kind of terrible bad luck hits someone is to try to donate to help them with their medical bills. The thought is appreciated, but please… DO NOT GIVE US DONATIONS. Donations are very unlikely to cover the bill, but they are guaranteed to make Michael ineligible for the existing financial aid options. Instead, if you really want to pitch in, please go to either our Etsy shop or our online store and buy the original Errant Story comic pages. Those purchases will put money into the business, and won’t affect Michael’s eligibility for financial aid. No matter how this turns out in the long run, they’re beautiful pieces and a good investment for you, and the money going into the business will give us options to figure out what on earth we’re going to do when this is over. So that’s the best way to help. Well, unless you’re a comic artist. Then you could maybe give us fan art or fan comics to run on the site for a while. Either Does Not Play Well With Others or Errant Story fan comics would be awesome, and hell, if you’ve got pent up Exploitation Now fandom bubbling away inside you, we’ll gladly run with that, too.”

Yay tiger photos!
"I really don’t think Marvel and DC are helping things by having gritty, R-rated versions of their superheroes in their main comics – what they sell as the “real” versions – while simultaneously selling those exact same characters in kids’ comics and plastering them all over lunchboxes and animated cartoons… Casual readership by kids, or by parents for their kids, is effectively impossible the way things are currently structured. And I think the waters are muddied too far now to claw that ground back. I think it’s insane that DC have spent 70 years making Superman as big as Mickey Mouse, and branding him to be understood by parents as being pretty much as kid-friendly as Mickey Mouse, only to piss that brand away in a decade. Nothing wrong with doing mature content in comics – in fact, it should be encouraged as often as possible – but doing it with characters who are on your kids’ lunchboxes is kind of moronic. Take a lesson from Watchmen and come up with new characters for that stuff. And then go back to Superman and Batman and put the same kind of love and effort and craft and intelligence you’ve been putting into all those rape scenes and body mutilations into something kids can read, and adults can also be proud to read because of all the love and effort and craft and intelligence you’ve put into it, and make those the “real” versions."

“Assuming that we’re not just going to go with a bunch of characters that I like — which would really just be Batwoman, Batgirl, Huntress, Oracle and… oh, you know, what’s her name, that blonde kid who was Robin for a hot minute — I think there’s a pretty easy formula you can use to slap together a team of super-heroes. You really just need to fill five roles: the Leader, the Brain, the Muscle, the Heart and the Wild Card.”—
Chris Sims breaks down superteams, Super Sentai and everything in between in one short paragraph. (via websnark)
Tvtropes already said this. Five-Man Band people. The Hero, The Lancer, The Big Guy, The Smart Guy and The Chick (which isa really misogynistic way to say the Heart, because for a long time the only female character on the team would fill the Heart role, so the two became conflated) (younbadmanbrown)
I think what’s interesting is that when I watch Power Rangers, you rarely see a show where a guy fills the Heart part while a woman fits the muscle, leader, or wild card role simultaneously. It gets worse when it’s only one woman and she automatically gets the label of heart despite not even fitting into that role.
Another thing I noticed that if a guy does get the heart role, he’s usually a kid or the youngest character. It’s almost saying that adult men can’t be the emotional center of a group.
I’d actually suggest that despite her uniform design, Pink Ranger Jen in Time Force fits the Wild Card slot, with Katie obviously in the muscle position and Trip as the Heart. It also works with Jen as Leader, Trip as (good natured) Wild Card, and Wes himself as Heart.

I don’t think the TV Tropes version matches up with the Chris Sims version, and I like his better. The Heart works much, much better than ‘The Chick,’ and the problem with ‘the Smart Guy’ is he’s defined in the trope as being small/weak but with a brain. Pidge, say. Or Billy from MMPR. Whereas the Brain in the seminal version of the Justice League is the freaking Batman.
Also, ‘the Big Guy’ means only defining strength as through size and physical power. The Muscle can imply all kinds of power, not just actual physical prowess.
Just my take, though.
