Could I get Liberty's lower half to follow me around as a Vanity pet?

Man, that doesn't look comfortable, fashionable, or even ... she needs to take that outfit back to Target and head over to Icon.

There's nothing there that'd be uncomfortable, apart from the straps possibly rubbing her stomach if they weren't made of something smooth.

I'm uncomfortable looking at her manly face, does that count?

I think the most telling is Ms. Liberty's focus on the casket with Mynx and Aurora there to support her. Call me an ole softy, but it is a very sorrowful and touching scene that choked me up.
Sorry mate, I am Villain. Statesman's death cheers me up. :P It's about time to change the face of the franchise. Put Lord Recluse or Ghost Widow's face up there! (evil grin)

What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Statesman will remain the face of the game - he even has a new loading screen for I22

That's just your eyes hurting because you need better glasses.

Even more than that, though, I think they really did a great job with the asian facial structure. Hopefully we can get some more non-caucasian faces like this; you can do a lot with the faces we do have already, but some of them- even when you tweak them in the scaling bar- just don't quite have the same look as non-European ethnicities.

Her face looks like a reworked male face we already have.

Numina's outfit would be pretty conservative, but you can see right through it.

Well in order for that to happen, Crab Head will have to conqueror Paragon City and all the super heroes (NPC & PC). Sorry, hell will have to freeze before that happens. It will never happen, therefore, Reclutz and crew will have to remain in their fantasy land driven pipe dream or continue puffing on their fat boy blunts.

Current active characters: Dragon Maiden (50+3 Brute SS/WP/PM), Black Widow Maiden (50+1 Night Widow), Catayclasmic Ariel (50 lvl Defender - Kin/DP), Quantumshock (50 lvl Elect/Energy/Energy), American's Defender (38 lvl Tanker - SD/Mace), Spider-Maiden (15 lvl Corruptor - RB/PD) & Siren Shrike (15 lvl Defender - Sonic/Sonic). My entire stable.

Basically, it just needs color reassignment to make the bikini 'fit' and not 'jump out.' It can be done in lots of ways, some suggestions:
I agree with ZM. The third recolor especially neutralizes the otherwise risque costume.

And word to the designers: you know female heroes can wear a Sabrina Duncan suit jacket instead of BDSM bikini wear, right?

Clearly, we have to demand "tummy buttons" for PCs, too.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Some people think that seeing skin is a bad thing...

Since she IS wearing a one-piece jacket, why have an ersatz bra/bodice/corset painted onto it, or a bikini brief painted onto the pants? They don't serve any purpose except to shout "Even though you can't see anything, we still want you to IMAGINE things."

Play thorugh Harvey Maylor's arc. It's stretched out over too many missions, but gives Vanessa's background in considerable detail.

The jacket is fine. I've actually seen that in the real world...

The pants on the other hand look stupid to me, but no more so than Superman's any other underwear on the outside character out there.

Agreed. I much prefer this one. The solid black brings it together, the white makes it stand out too much.

What do you imagine here?

Well, the problem I have (and it's honestly not some huge big problem, just a feeling kind of like when you have a niece you haven't seen for five years and when you do see her, she's suddenly a lot more woman than you were prepared to acknowledge in contrast to your memories of an immature, sweet kid) is that it's this character. If it was on some character I didn't know or care about, or if it was a character who was an adult from the "get go" then I wouldn't really make much of a comment about it.

See, I like option 3 so much better. Though the white pants are still very out o place without other white bits to go with it. (The strappy parts, while they might be set to white, are much more gray looking.)

So very much this.
