Comic Relief
The eyes are the comical part of a brain in a jar - because they've not got any eyebrows or eyelids, they can't show any exprssion apart from constant surprise - a brain in a jar without eyes can look gross and sinister, but eyes will always make it look goofy.

Silly things i Like to see
Sock puppet hands.
Feet where hands would be and well hands were feet would be.
A long Balloon sword for Katana melle. ..or mabye not..
Pyramid head with a eye ball in the middle.
Re-arranged face. like mouth at the top of the head eyballs in the wrong places mabye that more of a Horror theme..
tv/montor for a head would be cool with random channels flipping through
Cartoon style heads.
Clock head would be neat ..that tells in game time! That would be awesome.
should mounted speakers.
How about carboard guns or water pistol styled guns for duel pistols? with a water shooting emote.
an oversized cowboy hat. or just a large cowboy hat where the head would be. with eyeholes cut out.
That all I can think of at the moment.
"And for us this is the end of all stories, and we can mostly say they lived happily ever after. But for them it was the beginning of the real story. All there life in this world and all there adventures in Narnia had only be the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of The Great Story which no one on earth has ever read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before" - C.S Lewis, The Last Battle.

Red Commissar: I'm in the Queen Mother. Only more awesome. And alive
One of those guns with the flag that says "Bang" when you shoot it!
Umbrella Sword...or mace or etc.
Old mans cane (Oddly I don't know why we dont have it in the first place) "Get off my Lawn"!
Guitar (For Broadswords or titan weapons! You know you wanna hit someone with a guitar)
For costumes pieces
Tentacle arms (They don't need to be animated or have extra limbs, just rounded sucker thingies at the end)
Fuzzy bunny slippers
One thing I can't believe I didn't think of earlier:
Mops and brooms for Staff Fighting!
Because of costume part ideas like brain-in-jar and a possible brainslug, I've started to think a lot more about humorous/silly/kitschy costume themes. Certainly, players have been making their own 'joke' costumes since the game began, and we routinely pick these sorts of things for our costume contest winners (if you make us laugh, you pretty much win). 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? |
or splice those together, and have a literal Fish Tank. Jar full of water, with a small fish in it (maybe with a headset/controls for the suit.) Ok, now I know I've seen that somewhere before, where am I cribbing that from?

Costume piece idea!
Tank Girl-esque rocket bra. Or a bullet bra, a la that one lady from Kate Beaton (and friends)'s Strong Female Characters.
In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo.
So I've been reading along, and I see plenty of ideas with potential but also plenty of ideas that kinda only work for one character or very limited niche.
And obviously, to have any chance of actually being made, I'm sure a funny idea will at least have to pass the "would work for a lot of people" test. But for a laugh, by all means keep posting the truly out-there stuff.

Okay, how about a variety of sporting equipment ranging from present to future sports?
Golf Clubs
Wicket bats
Hockey Sticks (regular and goalie)
Hockey masks & facemasks (bonus if we can have some fictional sport team logos)
Hockey goalie pads.
Football shoulderpads (specifically the chest section between the pads).
Tennis Rackets.
Football helmet, no not that one, a Football AS a helmet.
Also Basketball, Soccerball, and foam puck helmets.

I'd like the fish in a jar for a head, and I also thimnk a snow globe would be awesome.
Also, a chef's apron but one of those 'funny' ones with the boobs on the front. Propeller beanies, thinking caps, googly eyes on springs glases and a straightjacket with the arms all long and fluttering about.
Could you do Big Head Mode heads?

I will miss you City of Heroes..
Rubber Chickens for Dual Blades.
Gotta put in another vote for the Towel Cape, too. (With a "tied" clasp, of course.)

The first silly thing I want is more options for the brain in a jar, I would like to be able to put a drown on mustache on it (Snidly Whiplash style of course), and fake glasses with mustache would be nice also. Fish swiming in the jar, yes.
A small shruken head, like at the End of Beetlejuice.
Elephant head, with animated trunk.
A no part option for all the body parts, so if I wanted to toon that floated around instead of having legs, or if I wanted a brain in a jar, with no body underneath it, or arms and legs and a head, but no body.

Ok one thing I've though about a few times over the years. You know those Halloween masks the ones that we collect and are supped to look like cheep plastic masks held on with string.
Those. I what those. Actual where-able versions of those.
And a bunch of other ones who. A series of quickly made makes, and maybe other peaces, that span the with and depth of the COH world. All sorts of fake-ish versions of the parts we would normally never be allowed to have.
I know were not allowed to have signature peaces but a series of sill caricature versions of them should be alright.
I'd also like someway to show off our collected souvenirs. Like holding on to a beaker or basket ball and hitting or shooting enemy with that. Even serious things like Gems or magic wands all sorts of things.
Bwahahahahaha! *falls over laughing* Oh, oh, oh! Yep, please! Just let me know when it goes to the Freedom Market and I'll be the first in line to buy it! I'll pay double if it gets released at the same time as a Christmas Tree for titan weapons.
I would like to see the following weapons for comedy relief.
1. Mace - A giant drumstick / Giant Saucepan 2. Titan Weapons - An actual person tied up, the hero/villlain is so strong they are able to lift up the poor schmuck and use him as a weapon |
2. Have the guy either held by the feet and rolled in a carpet or held by the neck with his feet in the bucket of concrete for the family version.
3. Would love the chainsaw to make an entrance to the game, can see issues with using it on a stalker though.
4. Comedy snake with suitably goofy face for staff melee.
5. Some proper sports gear from many different sports.
6. Cane as a mace option
7. Swordstick - out of combat cane, in combat sword with suitable draw/sheathe animations.
It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba
A couple of specific images below. Feel free to ignore if too specific.
The tutu (great for 80s looks, fairies, and maybe even some dainty princesses. One rule: if you make this, it MUST be prolifed to male toons. Also take a look at the ribbon in the hair.)
THE 70s socks. Roller skates would probably look awful but I would love them. We absolutely must get these shorts (male and female). Also check out the cheesy visor on a few of these people. Note the unusual shape of 70s male t-shirts, particularly the wide V-neck collar.
Everything worn by Joan Collins on Dynasty. Huge shoulder pads, silver sleeves, and... veils (pictured below). Great for a kind of "black widow" look.
Face/chest/arm detail tattoos that look like cut marks.
Need I say more?
With perpetually swirling snow and a little smiling snowman that occasionally frowns?

Yeah, I'd likely get one too.
