The Top 9 Superhero Fashion Tips
9> Replacing last year’s hand with this year’s trendy new hook/harpoon combo will really turn heads!
8> It doesn’t really matter what you wear in your book, when they make your movie, you’ll be wearing black.
7> Repair or replace your costume after every major battle; the torn-up look went out with Chaka Khan!
6> Judicious use of color-coordinated ammo packs will spice up the blandest uniform.
5> Unless you’re Bullseye, having a big target on your chest is just asking for trouble.
4> Add a colorful plaid to your ensemble for autumn; it’ll give your costume a kicky panache *and* distract your enemies during combat!
3> Insignia belong on the chest, head or belt buckle. Putting your logo on your codpiece is just trouble waiting to happen.
2> A full head cowl means never having a bad hair day.
and the Number 1 Superhero Fashion Tip…
1> Heat vision and contact lenses do NOT mix!
