I like how this one honors it while being new all at the same time.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-36797789700873036252017-07-16T13:48:59.915-04:002017-07-16T13:48:59.915-04:00It's a good redesign, honouring the original a...It's a good redesign, honouring the original as being less ridiculously stripperiffic.

Thought there might be some Supergirl fans here who were interested.<br /><br />http://www.recordnet.com/news/20170715/unsung-hero-true-superhero-creates-very-special-costume<br /><br />It's about a young girl who has a disease that makes her bones break all the time and has been confined to a wheelchair. She is getting a Fortress of Solitude Supergirl wheelchair for Comic Con. I peeked at the twitter feeds and it looks like her fortress even comes with Kryptonian keys.<br /><br />They are building a whole Justice League, and of all the JLs Kara has joined through the ages, this might be my favorite.<br /><br />https://magicwheelchair.kindful.com/superheroes<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-35844001845414292122017-07-15T22:46:00.576-04:002017-07-15T22:46:00.576-04:00I have to concur with those who favor the nhew loo...I have to concur with those who favor the nhew look for Psi, as I feel that it just looks more 'fashion forward'. While I thought that Psi was an effective adversary for SG back in the 80s, that old look certainly did not age well. Kudos to Brian Ching for sharing his original redesigns for the character.<br /><br /><br />KETKEThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13797904604074311480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-83245517611188908242017-07-15T18:49:15.459-04:002017-07-15T18:49:15.459-04:00yeah the original is a beaten brass monokini desig...yeah the original is a beaten brass monokini designed by Psi's abusive Dad if I recall properly....someone bought her some white spandex for a more angelic appearance as DemiGoddess of the Phantom Zone.<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-3618650040349894672017-07-15T13:02:42.924-04:002017-07-15T13:02:42.924-04:00As it's not the same Psi, it's not like a ...As it's not the same Psi, it's not like a guy suddenly wearing Ralph Lauren. Especially given she's barely been seen since the Eighties. How very nice of Brian Ching to respond. The problem with the original is not that it displays skin but that it's ugly as sin. I prefer the new look, though white and yellow never work well together.

I never thought it was weird with all the skin showing in the 80s on heroes, that was just how some of them looked. Somewhere along the line humanity got obsessed with the idea that skin=sex in comics when in reality most of us roam around in speedos, shorts and bikinis half the summer without lifting an eye about it. <br /><br />Psi in a full bodysuit is weirder to me than what she had before. It's like if he-man would start wearing an Armani because we ended up in an RL society where every man was expected to dress fashionably. <br /><br />Anyway, if it helps the comic sales, sure go for it. I will tell myself that this new incarnation is Psi too, and given enough time I will believe in it. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
