Which super hero(ine) is my housemate?

[Sikosh]

Hey guys,

My housemate is going to a fancy dress wedding in September and quite frankly I'm jealous! I wanna go! :$

The theme is of course super heroes, and I know the closer the "look" to a hero you already are, the better the costume. She's going for a knockout costume so I'm hoping by posting now and getting ideas, it'll be enough time for us to put something cool together.

So here's my lovely housemate Abi (posted with permission - she does know I'm doing this! :lol):

The question is... which superhero is she? :cool

Thanks guys!

-Matt

either Silk Spectre II:

or Shadowcat:

and maybe Rogue

if not, try catwoman or batgirl.

 

[Bizarro Lois]

Zatanna

i think she could pass easily for silk spectre 2.

 

[dukevendetta]

All of the suggestions so far are very fitting! Silk Spectre is going to be a very difficult costume though.

And I'm a sucker for Zatanna.

Lois made a great suggestion. Your friend looks like she'd pull off a Zatanna costume wonderfully. And the best thing about it is that Zatanna costumes are fairly easy to put together, ie, the parts are scroungable or easily converted.

El Cucuy

She looks like she could be a good Zatanna, if she has the legs for it.

What about Dupli-Kate?

Dupli-Kate (comic book character) - Comic Vine

 

[Planettera]

Ghost In A Shell from the comic?

uh... she's clearly not chinese.

She could make a very convincing Scarlet Witch. Your friend's facial features (at least to my eye) are almost spot on.

 

[Sikosh]

Ohh Scarlet Witch would be awesome. Thanks!

Silk Spectre would be awesome but I'd never sell her on the costume.

Any ideas on costume parts for the Scarlet Witch?

 

[Jeff C]

I had completely forgotten that Dupli-Kate is Chinese. Guess that shows how Asian they draw her features.

For the Scarlet Witch, I'd go with a more traditional costume. Red one-piece swim suit, red boots, red opera gloves, optional pink unitard, red cape, and red crown/hat thing. You'll probably have to make the crown.

Your biggest challenge will be getting the various red things to match.

either this:

or this:

or this:

 

[Riceball]

Her hair may be a little light but she might make a good Huntress or add a white streak to her hair and a Southern Drawl she could do Rogue.

 

[Sikosh]

We're thinking Songbird.. what would be the best starting point for this?

 

[brimst0ne13]

spandex suit painted with latex paint. then the gold parts can be made from sintra or foam.

 

[Zabana]

My vote is for Elektra, movie or comic, this character probably fits her very well ( seeing only her face ...)

Does it have to be a superheroine? because she could make a good Star Sapphire, who is a villian. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Sapphire_(comics)
