So, this is Marvel’s Angela outfit from Marvel Future Fight.
The awfulness of her original costume (up) has been pointed out multiple times, so I was really happy when I noticed the possible upgrade – her Secret Wars uniform is much more appropriate.
At least now she has a smaller chance of freezing to death.
Seeing Angela’s infamous costume in 3D form makes me wonder whether or not the game developers could recreate how inconsistent it looks in comics. That would be hilarious!
Really nice to have the blow softened by the Secret Wars AU version of the character also brought to life.
Even the way she’s posed for those screenshots informs us how vastly different is she framed in both continuities. Elseworld for the win.

A reader just informed us that there is indeed a (ridiculosly spiky) pec-window assassin in a mainstream game… But the empowerment of his costume is completely overshadowed by his female counterpart.
I couldn’t resist bingo-ing her. If only her costume was as pointly as her male friend’s, she’d score a full row!

I got this game “Stella Glow” recently and, while it’s not bad, Hilda (pictured) has a costume that bothers me. She wears this outfit anytime- in battle or out, so I guess it counts as armour? Either way, it’s ridiculous…
In the game, there are witches (like Hilda) who can cast magic by singing. While witches are singing, they are completely defenseless- after all, they’re focusing on the song. So it makes no sense at all to wear such useless armour- she could easily get stabbed in the stomach. Or anywhere else, really.
As for the bingo, hearts are there for the ones I’m more sure of, and stars are there for the ones I’m not so sure of. For example, the thigh-high boots. Her boots end below her knees but she has socks(?) that go to her thighs. For covers only nipples and genitals on torso, it also covers her sides? But her stomach is completely exposed. And bared back is more of a technicality- her hair and a cape (I think?) covers her back but neither of that will protect you.
Depending on what you think, she could have a bingo. Either way, she’s not fit for battle.
Yup, while no mildly sane person would ever consider that to be armor – that she’ll voluntarily wear it into battle makes it armor as far as the bingo is concerned. Particularly given her, shall we say… confrontational nature?
I wouldn’t normally count those as thigh highs, since they appear to be stockings (and are presumably held up with superglue), but nipples and genitalia definitely applies since that seems to be the only parts prioritized in cover with that outfit. Bared-back… well the nano-seconds it’s on display it’s unclear.
Perhaps the nicest thing that can be said is that if she runs around in an outfit like this – it’s no wonder she has to try so hard to get people to take her seriously.
