	The "Blue and the Gold" is best I think it still captures the characters personalities. (Reply to this)

I maintain that that Apollo-and-Midnighter one is backwards. Isn't Apollo basically solar-powered? She gets the battle bikini, Midnighter gets some damn pants. And I can't picture any version of Ted going for the dust-ruffle miniskirt and thighboots. Although they might explain her fixed "I'm about to rip someone's throat out with my teeth" grin.

Olivia Queen is probably pretty accurate, though. Although I think it was a missed chance to put her in a tiny, tiny green mini-dress and high-heeled red musketeer boots. She needs a Halley to match, too, probably in a strapless green swimsuit (it was the Silver Age. Mistakes were made) and black thighboots. The Lantern logo can be on a necklace or something.

Complete agreement, Midnighter shows the legs to only one person. I'd say Apollonia's arms are a little bit spindly...

Other people in scans_daily have put this in my brain, and it's stuck - Teddi should be fighting to keep off a couple extra pounds, the bare midriff doesn't work for me.

Now I want to see high-heeled red musketeer boots. I like Olivia's lipstick for some reason. Brooke Wayne would never do lipstick - well, maybe black. But back to Olivia, I think Barbie Allen isn't going to give up Halle without a fight... :)

I'm normally against high heels on non-fliers, but I can't deny that Olivia and Rose would go for them- they're both clearly bombshells. Until Rose realized that she was out of Star City and thoroughly fed up of fighting crime in a bright red mini-dress and yellow heels, and threw the whole thing over to wear combat boots and call herself Arsenal, anyway. Corinne's probably a flats woman, too, I doubt she learned how to fight in heels from the Buddhist monks. Unless they were very unusual Buddhist monks.

Ms. Wayne definitely doesn't do lipstick. Terrifying creatures of the night rarely wear makeup. I'd put her in something full-face like Cass's costume anyway. As for girl!Flash ...I don't think I can call her Barbie, my brain rebels. Barrie? Brandy? Babs? Not a makeup girl either, but she probably wears lightning-bolt earrings while out of costume. And yeah, gets into catfights with Olivia. (Halley'll break them up annny minute now. Maybe after Black Canary gets back with the popcorn and camcorder.)

	Lightning bolt earrings that she hides her costume in! And Corinne? Please, that girl's name is Connie. And Olivia, like Oliver, didn't know Connie was her daughter when they first met, but unlike him she at least knew she had a daughter. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	How on earth does Apollo's boobwindow work? Did she glue that yellow dot to her breasts? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Given the difference in skin tone between the pale hand/face and comparatively swarthy looking boobs, I'm seeing it as simply a gauze-like material with the dot on it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Can't be. Midnighter has her left thumb hooked in the material of the boobwindow, and there's no line of with/sans gauzy material to indicate that there's gauze on only part of it. It's possible that there are a series of thin strings holding the boob window partly closed which also hold the gold chunk in place, though.

Also, her boobs aren't swarthy; they're somewhat-poorly-over-shaded in an attempt to make them look 3D. Easy mistake to make, since you were looking for a believable explanation for the stick-on boob-dot and that'd work, but given that the coloring is inconsistent across the full area of the opening...

I'm gonna go with the almost-invisibly-thin network of filaments with the mega-dot as the nexus in the middle.

...Can't believe I'm suggesting this, but they should've just gone with either a one-piece-swimsuit-style leotard or a battle bikini with a halter top and boyshorts or something. The one time it would have made perfect sense, since Apollo is solar-powered and borderline-invulnerable, and they waste it.

	I like girl!Ted's (Theodora?) facial expression, but for some reason I can't buy her as the itty-bitty miniskirt type. I can't put my finger on why either. (Girl!Booster would be all about the fanservice, though.) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mari_redstar 2009-06-03 12:17 pm UTC (link)
	Really, Booster's not quite naked enough. I've never seen a woman who would look so appropriate with a star-shaped bodice cutout. And motto on the miniskirt. Girl Ted's a manic engineer with a flying car, not a "It's okay, I'll distract the bad guys with my sexay legs!" type. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I suppose it could have Unfortunate Implications, but given that in a back-reference to Nite Owl they started having Ted wrestling with weight issues, it might be kind of funny to have girl!Ted checking out her hips in the mirror-- think kind of like Helen Parr in The Incredibles.

(And I could see some folks having fun writing a chunky, spunky girl!Ted. There were some pretty cute Rule 63 versions of Nite Owl, after all...)

Legal scan is the best of the bunch, in my opinion. Though Batwoman should wear black lipstick in uniform if any at all.

I could totally see Green Arrow wearing that costume in a world where Ollie was short for Olivia and not Oliver. *laughs*

And while Apollo/Midnighter and Boostle are always made of cute, I'm having trouble believing those costumes. Midnighter should always be fully covered regardless of gender (give the lady some pants, dammit! leather pants, yes, but pants nonetheless), and girl!Apollo is one of the only reasonable cases for a battle bikini that I've ever seen (which makes the bodysuit with boobwindow unforgivable; either go with the battle bikini or keep a full bodysuit sans stupid cutout). And girl!Ted would never be caught dead in that skirt unless there was a pair of spandex bike shorts under it.

And now I want to see a version of Wonder Warrior who rather than wearing Diana's dumb swimsuit outfit with a bodystocking is in her awesome Medusa-fighting armor. Damn.

Adding to the WTH? at Midnighter and Apollo. A battle bikini, or maybe something like Power Girl's outfit, would actually work here but what is going on with that boob window? To say nothing of the arm...

Teddi's Stepford Smile is giving me the creeps. Maybe she just doesn't like that skirt any more than I do; there does seem to be a sort of upsidedown wedgie going on there. Booster is actually wearing more than I'd expect her to.

Olivia Queen would dress about like that, yeah XD

The Iron Sailor... I don't even know. It just looks silly.

"Sonya Goku"? Surely it's the given name that ought to be feminized? That aside, I could see female!Goku being tricked into wearing that getup by Roshi.

Official scan is my favorite, though I agree with some above that Batwoman ought to be wearing black lipstick if any at all. That haircut is really cute on Superwoman, though. Definitly digging the sturdy thighs too.

Last pic doesn't want to show up for me and I'm getting tired of refreshin. Stupid Internet Explorer :(
