I don’t know if anyone has submitted anything from this game yet, but his is Skye from a fairly new game from Hi-Rez called “Paladins – Champions of the Realm” and it’s basically a free to play version of Overwatch. Skye is one of four or five characters but she is by far the worst in my opinion. Her costume is bad enough but my favorite part is the fact that her right leg is somehow transcending dimensions to that it ended up behind her left leg without bending. She kind of fits into the assassin archetype. She’s supposed to be fast and stealthy so I guess maybe having reality altering legs might be helpful for that somehow.
Skye’s outfit actually score surprisingly okay on the bingo, mostly because it’s not about showing skin but rather projecting a message.
Seems fine at first glance? Sure. But this is how Skye is introduced to you if you select her as your Champion in Paladins.
This was how she got introduced in their “meet the Champions trailer”:
It worth noting that Skye’s appearance is so ridiculous and lacking in credibility, she is the only hero who they show in action first before doing the intro cinematic or letting you see her from a third person view.
Hi-Rez apparently managed to make a sexy female assassin who’s less intimidating than Widowmaker due to “can we fap to this” being her only character concept design priority, then chickening out and putting black skin tight material over most of her skin.

Okay first @nebezial-asheri reincarnated Witchblade with Switch now
@warrenellis is taking the distilled essence of 90s comics (aka Wildstorm) and transform it into something I’m actually really eager to read. (article here)
What an amazing time to be alive and into comics!

Legends of Tomorrow

After seeing the promotional picture for the Legends of Tomorrow version of the Justice Society of America, and specifically their version of Stargirl, I opted to do a five second redesign to make the look feel… well, more like something a superpowered woman in the 1940s would wear.
My Redesign
The source
It should be noted that Stargirl in the comics looks almost identical to the source photo, but she is also set in modern day, not 1941.
Look, I get that superhero costumes were based on the super tight outfits strongmen wore in order to show off their physique. That does not mean when transplanting a female character to WWII you can bring her costume without baggage.
I have to say, I really like the redesign – it’s nice and conveys the spirit of the era without fussing about too much with the specifics or worrying about trying to pin down a particular moment in fashion.
As for the official image.. there’s something about the super heroine costumes I just can’t put my finger on… something to do with history. Something the show probably should have come across while doing some research on World War Two era fashions, life and technology…
Seriously DC Comics, you should know better… not even Catwoman wore spandex in the 1940s and she was a femme fatale from word go!
