If anything, the existing hairstyles would already be perfect for that era. |

The problem with that is that none of those things are specifically trademarked to that character and that character alone. |

If flying were trademarked as being Superman-exclusive, well, DC would be suing both themselves and any other comic company for hundreds of trademark violations every couple weeks. Because there are literally hundreds, possibly thousands of different characters in existence that fly.
If "claws" were trademarked as being Wolverine specific, the same thing would happen any time someone created a character using any kind of claws at all. Werewolves, vampires and any kind of bestial character created by any other comic company would be subject to litigation if there were a trademark stating that ONLY Wolverine was allowed to use claws.
Glowy eyes and a cape? Dracula did it first, so Spawn doesn't have a leg to stand on there.
None of those things can be trademarked as being specific to one character, because they are too generic to possibly be the domain of one character and one character alone.
A lot of the things mentioned in this thread ARE trademarked to one specific person or entity. No one else did it or wore it, and they trademarked it so it was THEIRS.

I haven't laughed so hard at an emote idea in years. The potential for Pocket D parties (and what a certain movie editor could come up with) is delightful.
If not in an 80s pack, maybe it could be part of Party Pack 2...
Clearly, the power for this pack would be "Line of Coke" and it would give you a speed boost while doing slight damage over time, with a medium end crash.

I lived through both. I'll say one thing: I'd rather listen to Disco every day of the week and twice on Saturday night than hear one more stinkin' Club music song ever again. Club music is just like Disco, except they took out the instruments, musicians and talent.
