The Naga is classic Earth lore, been around for thousands of years. She's an archtype and I loved her in the Legion.
Strata is non-female appearing. Stealth in her native form is non-female appearing.
But you're probably right. Guys want to see boobs, usually with as little covering them as possible. (As a woman, that's a pet gripe I have with comics, and entertainment in general.)

Naga, you bet. India is all that on the internet now. Bollywood or as I prefer Bollyboob. What's not to like. The snakes got boobs. The four armed elephants got boobs. When I was a kid I had one of those wind up toys that was a boob, it would,...uh, well, that's probably off topic. Aaarrrr arrr arr arr. uh, yeah, I mean, totally unnecessary in comics.

Originally posted by Triplicate Kid: What I believe I hate most about the half-snake: Sensor was totally non-humanoid (if decidedly not unearthly), and had no visible gender. Then they went down the usual comic book route: female aliens aren't allowed to be too alien. I was thinking of a less family-friendly way to say "not too alien," but never mind. I think I'll go snicker at that pin-up of the "Love Lanterns" again.

Originally posted by Triplicate Kid: That is, aliens are male by default. You rarely see identified females of non-humanoid species. It's common enough in filmed SF as well. In a lot of "funny animal" art, it's the same thing. Female characters have more humanoid secondary sexual characteristic than males do.

They aren't prostitues or Vegas showgirls or whatever. Practicality, if nothing else. Superheroines get mpre practical outfits in the movies, for goodness sake. :grumble:

What added to the sting of the cartoon being canceled is that it was a rare opportunity to see my favorite characters not looking like bleeping Cosmo Girls.
It's nice that somebody in charge at DC said he was sick of Supergirl's panty shots, because she was a teenager and there was a distinct skeeve factor involved. However, the skeeve factor doesn't decrease in any signifigant way for me personally just because the character's over eighteen. It's still obnoxious. Save the cleavage and thongs for the swimsuit issue, ferchrissakes.
:rolleyes:

The debate about female comic book character attire will surely rage on forever.
kj has done an excellent job with these "paper" dolls!

I agree with you 100%. We need more swimsuit issues.

Took a year to download but it was worth it. Spectacular.
How many of those are still living?

I especially like that you gave them individual faces. Shady's and Dreamy's faces are wonderful and I love the tape on Tenzil!

I like the slightly glum look on Chemical King's face. Apropos! Even with two reboots and a team of youthful clones the closest to a comeback he ever made was as a seldom used reporter.

Nice. Most names would stay the same except for changing boy to girl and vice versa.
I think Duo Damsel would be Duo Dude, White Witch become White Warlock. I'm not sure what name would be for the male Shrinking Violet. I think Dawnstar works for both male and female.

Very cool. I think the White Warlock is my favourite, but where's Light Lad?

That's funny, I thought Duo Dude and White Warlock as well. Duo "Dude" sounds silly, but Duo "Damsel" isn't so great either! I almost didn't do ANY Ranzz' since they already have sort of gone there, but yeah, I should have made a Light Lad. After all, we had a Phantom Boy, Shadow Kid, Micro Lad....also realizing I should have done 'Sensor Boy' instead of 'Prince Projecter' LOL

Timber Wolf, Wildfire and Brainiac 5 work pretty well for either gender as well.
Could anyone even tell if Tellus or Quislet switched gender?
