Been suggested before in other threads, but not here. Nemesis Horse travel power! Even if it works like Hoverboard, I want it!
Towel capes.
Fish weapons. I want my vibro-carp!
A bunch of the 'bowl helmet" options (fish, gas, lightning, bubbles, etc) sound very nice.

We SO need a Throw Egg emote for Halloween. Essentially a recoloring of the snowball emote, perhaps with a splatter effect when it hits something.
In regards to First Nations costume pieces, I've heard lots of people in-game saying they want them. However, they would have to be based VERY closely on real First Nations dress, as opposed to the cartoon stereotypes. We could definitely use a few actual loincloths, (breechclout and aztec/mesoamerican style) And some of the weapons used by various First Nations people would work well in our existing powersets. The infamous Aztec obsidian edged club could be used in several weapon sets- broadsword, battle axe, war mace, possibly even Katana.

I was reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms and came across a relevant passage.
Dian Wei is Cao Cao's fearsome bodyguard. Cao Cao's enemies know that they'll never be able to defeat him with Dian Wei and his twin halberds protecting him, so they devise a plot to get Dian Wei drunk and steal his weapons.
Quote:
Now obviously we can't have people as an option for dual blades. That would be silly. For Titan Weapons, however...| [Dian Wei] hastily snatched up an infantryman's sword and rushed out[...]He fought desperately until his sword snapped and was no longer of any use. Throwing it aside he seized up a couple of soldiers and with their bodies as weapons felled ten of his opponents. |

It's definitely a good fit for the game. You only need to look as far as "The Tick" to see an appropriate hero-style comic book themed world where it serves as appropriate.|

Didn't want to derail the Costume Workshop thread with this, but if any of you would like to discuss, feel free to post here.
--Good fit for the game? --Something you've always wanted? |
That being said, I loved the brain in a jar thing.
Make us an optional "helmet" where you turn the head into a rikti monkey pilot. Like, he's fiddling with levers and stuff to move the character, sort of Men In Black style, where there was that little alien inside a guy's head and he was controlling things? That would be hilarious. Alternatively you could make it Nemesis-themed, because it was a Nemesis plot all along!
And let me be the 4th or 5th or whateverth person to say I love the idea of swinging random people as weapons. Especially for villains. Gravity control already has that power that randomly summons things, does it require a massive amount of animation stuff? or would it be possible to have the titan weapons version randomly choose a ragdoll person to use as a weapon when you first draw the weapon?
you could have it all

-Giant versions of various body parts, such as hands, feet, and head
-A mirror for the head (that does reflect)
-Claws option that is knives, spoons, forks (going with previously mentioned thrown together costumes)
-Various swords/mace option that is a stick with an open hand on the end, so when you swing it, it looks like you are slapping someone
-Finger guns for dual pistols
-Face paint skins for faces (so it's a face painted to look like a tiger, skull, ect)
-Currently we have option for hook for hand for right/left hand, open it up for both (same with peg legs)
-Chicken hat (http://www.thankachicken.com/Images/heather.gif)
-Oven mitt gloves
-Titan weapon option of pieces of in game billboards

That gave me a brilliant idea. A "No weapon" option for the various ranged weapon sets. So you move your arms like you're holding a rifle, but it's the superheroic equivalent of pointing your fingers at someone and saying "POW! I shot you!" Except, instead of them either ignoring you or playing along, they are shot. With bullets.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
I've always wished there were a round head/helmet option in the costume creator. Something that could be colored to represent different things- 8 ball, bowling ball, crystal ball, cue ball, eyeball, etc.

The whole thread isn't even two months old.
And i think the rule of thumb is: If you can't say something nice and/or constructive, don't say anything at all.

some suggestions:
- A cricket bat for melee sets - broadsword, TW and WM.
- various vegetables for the above: celery, cucumber, a bunch of roses etc...
- a pistol with the flag that comes out of the barrel and says "Bang"
- Pinnochio's nose: As your HP reduces your nose gets longer.
(Would also work as you complete alternate alignment side switching) - Bunch of flowers emote: Give a friend a bunch of flowers and a giant carnivorous plant suddenly leaps out of it and eats them
- Surreal Self-Destruct: A rework of the Self Destruct power from the science(?) booster. Activating this power causes you to drink a cup of tea, at which point you start to melt and turn into a puddle of goo. Whilst this happens, any opponents in your immediate vicinity turn into spinning clocks and cannot be affected for a few seconds.

I had not realized it was a necro thread, but I kind of doubt that David minds.
- Towel Cape
- Popgun emote
- Popeye arms
- Anchor tattoo
- Guitar weaponry
- Personal thundercloud (think halo as a small black cloud raining on you)
- Die emote (stiffen, x-ed out eyes, fall backward)
- Exploding cigar emote
- Wolf whistle emote
- X-Ray specs(like you get from the novelty item catalogs; in fact, what can be more comic bookish than something that's advertised in practically every comic book?)
- 3D anaglyph glasses (one lens red, one blue, or two user-definable colors)
- Tin foil hat!
Clown shoes, swimming flippers, stuff like that. Snorkel.
Guns which are Obviously Toy Guns. Giant nerf/super-soaker models for beam weapons, for instance.
On the Even More Ridiculous end, a giant tied/folded ribbon for archery sets. ("I went to the store, I asked for the biggest bow they had, they gave me this. Shut up.")
Pom-poms, like, intentional ones, not just Energy Melee.
A claws set which is a pair of kittens strapped to your hands.
Stripper tassels chest piece. M/F/H.
A set of "armor" that looks like high-end WoW raiding gear. Everyone there seems to think it looks funny, probably they're right.
Guitar for battle axe sets.
Beat-up old laptop shield.
I would like a skeleton and or stickman costume where you can just be a skeleton or stickman...
--Good fit for the game?
--Something you've always wanted?
I'm also a fan of "cosmic oddities." Things like a blank faceless head with a perfect cylindrical hole right through the middle of it. Same idea for a chest model. Or floating hands and feet with gaps in the limbs. Basically stuff you'd see at home in Wackyland. (Excuse some of the racists gags of the era. The odd stab at psychodelia is what I'm really referring to.)
Edit: along this line of thinking, IF we ever get travel power customization I really really really really really, very much so, really really want a TP option to drop a black cartoon like circular hole in front of my character, hop into it (using something like the "down the hatch" manhole mission entrance animation), then have a similar hole stretch open above where my character will appear and have them drop through it into frame.
