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 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...)

That's "Power Lady", jive turkey!
ReplyDeleteShe's the baddest one-chick hit squad to ever hit town!
(This is an actual line from a blaxploitation movie trailer I saw once. The alternate universe female version of me would probably have that catchphrase printed on her business cards...)
Holy Cleopatra Jones!
ReplyDeleteDamn. Roger beat me to the Cleopatra Jones reference...
ReplyDeleteI want to go listen to Digable Planets now.

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. :)
