Marvel's version of Wonder Woman is atrocious, but then most of Wonder Man's costumes have been dubious at best. Gender-swapped Luke Cage looks pretty dang awesome.

I do not like the pastry on these mince pies at all. AT ALL. Crunchy and
far too sugary (which doesn't help with the crunch), I suppose at least
it's not t...
I love this.
ReplyDeleteOddly, Wonder Woman has had recent costume that looks a lot like Wonder Man's red-leather-jacket look.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the gender-swapped Power Man definitely has a kick-ass 70s blaxpoitation thing going on... and yet seems less sexist than the DC Power Girl's "Ooops, i forgot my logo!" design of the same era. (Though I think the Mike Grell LSH designs for the mid-1970s might be the pinnacle of cheesecake in superhero costumes...)

Holy Cleopatra Jones!
ReplyDeleteDamn. Roger beat me to the Cleopatra Jones reference...

I think there's room for a Wonder Girl somewhere but that costume looked bad on Wonder Man and switching to a girl didn't make it any better.
ReplyDeleteI think I am the only human in history who liked that costume on Wonder Man. :)
