The picture on the CoH web site for i13 shows a guy with a costume with half as a hero costume and other half as a suit, is this possable in game? if so how?

That was a promotional image for the "civilian costumes" that came in Issue 13. If you notice, the heroes on one side of the image and the civilians on the other are the same people (the Nordic looking warrior is the cop, the superheroine is the nurse, and the guy in the middle is a high powered accountant by day, and mild mannered superhero by night.

Speaking of "mild-mannered by day..." I have a monster hero and was thinking of making one of his costume slots human for how he used to be, but for some reason it felt like cheating. Anyone else do that with their heroes?

All of my heroes have their alternate identity as a costume slot. And now with the super tailor, the body changes will be a lot more significant.

I have a villain for whom I am going to do this.

A science experiment gone awry turned him into a bat-man (Sonic Blast / Sonic Resonance Corruptor). The accident turned him into a beastly creature, and robbed him of most of his intellect. He knows what he used to be, and he is aware of what he lost, and it has driven him mad. He desperately seeks a cure for his condition, and knows in general terms what he needs to do, but is fuzzy on the specifics, and has forgotten the key formulae to derive the specifics.

Eventually, as he levels, he will become more human again as the treatments have varying levels of success or failure. He is still quite mad, and even if he regains his full human form again, he will be Chiropterror until he dies.

Almost all of my heroes have a "street clothes" slot. My lycanthropes and shape shifters likewise have the same depending on their background story.

I have one hero who is actually dead (well, actually I have a number of undead heroes). His charred and rotting flesh is difficult to disguise. So, he uses a portable hologram to make himself look like he used to. His third costume slot is therefor his old PPD uniform complete with his former appearance but with a pale green aura to distinguish that it is a hologram.

Almost all my characters have civilian slots, and as soon as I can get my hands on the science pack, my beefed up werewolf character will finally be able to have his totally average human body back. At least until the next full moon.

You *must* have a nice formal outfit for when you do guard duty at the RWZ Rikti peace conference. If you don't, you're an uncouth hooligan (and villains, that's a *bad* thing).

I wish they'd actually recognize that you had a formal costume on in that though. I put on my most formal outfit on my PB when I did it, and I still got yelled at for dressing down. I looked more formal than any of the NPCs!!!
