Guest dan2448 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Re: Women of the Champions Universe (Fanpictorial) These illustrations are great. I have a 5 year old daughter and have been introducing her to super heroes, starting with vintage cartoons from the 80s (most notably "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends" and various incarnations of "Super Friends"). Until then, I'd never really noticed the relative paucity of female super heroes. There's Wonder Woman, of course. And Storm. And then various 'teenagers' like Firestar, Batgirl, and members of the Teen Titans. But seeing how excited my daughter got upon discovering that super heroes (and villains) are not all male really sensitized me to the importance of having a more proportional gender mix among super heroes.

Epiphanis Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Re: Women of the Champions Universe (Fanpictorial) I'm going to guess that "Frisbee" is a character from an earlier edition of Champions that I don't have. (For the record, I have a smattering of 4th Ed. books and a fairly complete library of 5th & 6th Ed.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Re: Women of the Champions Universe (Fanpictorial) She was from 2nd edition Enemies book. Albino African...when I rewrote her for 4th Edition I think I had a drawing but I probably don't have it anymore; my costume was a white, sleeveless bodysuit with black trim, a "skirt" but more like a loin cloth...log boots and gloves black with white trim black belt. Black "mask" that seemed like a strip of cloth over her eyes - no eye-holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woman has the right to keep her hairstyle in keeping with the times. The dress, however, has come in and out of style twice and looks very close to what Misty Knight used to wear in "Iron Fist" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son in law had a character in CoH that was rocking the yellow/black Bruce Lee pants and had a huge afro. His name was Master of Funk. It was pure genius.

Major Tom 2009 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Re: Women of the Champions Universe (Fanpictorial) Don't get me wrong...chesecake, headlights, and bondage is good, in small amounts. And I am not saying that such stuff ruined comics in the 90's. Event comics, multi-cover overexposers, charater overexposion, and bad girl artwork also helped. And I am not a prude. I run a small Yahoo bondage group myself (Oldfashion Damsels in Distress BETA). I should just shut up now. Sounds like a group that Mister Wicked (a frequent visitor to Q.U.A.R.K.'s Advice Column thread from many years ago here on the boards) would've been part of ()...
