Your a superhero/villain.  What are you wearing?

Something that looks heroic, like bright colored spandex. Capes are nice.
19 (30.6%)
A hi-tech powersuit with all, andI do mean ALL the extras.
7 (11.3%)
Broad brimmed had, long coat or cloak, and a pair of revolvers.  Go with the classics, baby!
3 (4.8%)
Something off the rack. Utilitarian and easy on the pocketbook.
8 (12.9%)
A spandex suit of color-coded setai superhero-wear that matches my team with convenient face-hiding helmet to protect my pride.
1 (1.6%)
SEQUINS!!!!
0 (0%)
Guns, lotas guns.
2 (3.2%)
A suit of fantasy-styled armor with REEEEEAAAAALLLY impossibly huge shoulder pads and a big honkin' sword (not that I'm compensating for anything).
3 (4.8%)
Mystic's robes and a mystic artifact I can bop people over the head with when they make fun of my robes.
4 (6.5%)
A tuxedo, formal, or designer business suit, EVEN to the middle of a war zone or the REALLY bad part of town.  I always look stylish.
3 (4.8%)
Brass knuckles, fighting claws, or something like that... Oh, and pants.
2 (3.2%)
A magical sailor suit with a short skirt, tiara, and pumps, EVEN if I'm a guy.
0 (0%)
Doesn't matter, 'cause I'd always be in my really ginormous death-dealing power mecha.
0 (0%)
Doesn't matter, 'cause it gets ripped to shred when I transform anyway.
0 (0%)
In my elemental form, no one can tell what, I'm wearing, if anything. (flaunts)
4 (6.5%)
Nothing! I mean...I'd be an anthropomorphic creature with fur all over my body, that's what I meant, really!
1 (1.6%)
I don't need a costume, I'm a talking dog/cat/horse/fish/etc.
0 (0%)
Other (because the poll creator can't think if every possible option)
5 (8.1%)

Just because I felt the polls board needed more polls.  :lol:

BlueBard

Other, just cause I gotta be difficult :)

Really, I'd need two different votes. 

If I were a supervillain, I'd wear business casual.  Works in lots of settings, very non-descript, doesn't scream "Hey Hero! Here I am! Come beat on me!"

If I were a superhero, it would depend on my powers and modus operandi. 

Probably I'd wear something that looked like a Military or Police uniform without actually being one.  You know, something that says, "I am an authority figure" without necessarily saying "Hello!  I am a Superhero and the highest priority target in the vicinity!"

But if I'm doing the Prowler of the Night routine, then dark and warm for those chilly nights.

Either way, brightly colored spandex is totally out.

Night Dragon

Armor! Just minus the shoulderpads and honkin' sword. (Bujin and Kommando gots the honkinest swords anyway.)

Besides, who needs a sword when you got these.

*tries to extend claws*

Uhm.....

*shake shake*

Errr...

*looks closely at fingertips*

*POIT*

MY EYES!!!!

Take a wild(e) guess, Mlle. Défaut. :P

Phantom Bunburyist and The Broken Record

The Hitman

Since Superheroics isn't really a high- paying gig, probably something from Salvo (The Salvation Army, or to a lesser extent, Goodwill). And goggles. Gotta have the goggles.

Sword

Somewhere inbetween the color coded sentai wear and the power armor. Like up in my avatar.

You know she put that option in there just for you...  ;)

Deaths Jester

WHAT?!?!?!  Ye forgot the "The clothes I was previously buried in...becuase their now a part of me!" selection!  Boy...do I feel discriminated against!  :P

Uncle Yuan

While I'm rather miffed that there's no "speedo" option . . .

Right, we know you just wanted to pick the "sequins" option.  Don't lie.  ;)

Having seen some of the RL pictures of folks here, some things were too horrific to contemplate.  ;)

I thought it was the speedo that did that.

The Phantom Eyebrow

For me its a case of six of one and half a dozen of the other; where "the other" is option nine. 

You can all just think of me as the spandex mystic.

I voted for "Brass knuckles, fighting claws, or something like that... Oh, and pants."

Simply because of the part in bold, it is just so perfect! Furry or not, no one needs to see your [spoiler]dangly bits :shock2:[/spoiler]

BatWing

this is the first time i've seen grizzly bear online! :o

Mr. Cow

im changing my vote from "A hi-tech powersuit with all, andI do mean ALL the extras." to "im a talking cow" so add one to the talking animal section!

oh and one more thing...
[spoiler]NO PANTS!!!!![/spoiler]

ah hah ha!

Midnight

DAMMIT!

I forgot about the ripped to shreds one and went with anthropomorophic. CURSES!

Helix


It's all about the spandex, baby!

Okay, seriously...I always kinda liked the original Hank Hudson Vindicator/Guardian suit. Kind of cyber-suitish and heroic looking.
Besides what villain wouldn't be terrified by the big red wrap-around maple leaf?! I get the willies just thinking about it

BatWing


JeyNyce

A hi-tech powersuit with all, andI do mean ALL the extras.

I have to put my Ipod somewhere!

Spitfire

Your average spandex (Properly named "elastane") affair, red, white and blue in the colour of the Union Flag, like Jack Staff, Union Jack or Captain Britain.

Spe-Dog


Xenolith

I'd like to think I'd be wearing a costume, but I know in my heart I'd be that self-loathing, miserable son-of-a-gun walking around in a T-shirt and jeans, and carrying
a crowbar.
