In terms of designing, doing hero suits seems like a pretty novel gig

From:

It's definitely an art unto itself. Everyone probably has slightly different needs with their suits, too. Mine I just need to be able to move easily and not die when getting shot or stabbed. Which I guess isn't easy, but they have gotten better over the years. Having a suit that's easy to pee in is also nice. Still working on making it not so cold in the winter and hot in the summer.

The not easily dying and staying flexible parts are the most important though, so. I can't complain.

What color scheme would you want if you did make a suit?

From:

I’d prefer if you didn’t die, so glad you have the suit. I don’t know, maybe something blue? If I could train my magic I would probably just need to have some basic armor

From:

Blue is a good color. This isn't shitting on you since I wear red, but there is just something about vigilantes and primary colors I swear. I guess we like to stand out.

being distinctive can also be helpful in having people recognise that you’re there to help. Especially if you get a reputation for saving lives

I guess it says something that people see a guy dressed as the devil and find comfort in it.

From:

maybe everyone just thinks that you look like someone who gives good hugs. A friendly sort of vibe.

From:

I can't say I've ever had any criminals say that to me. I try not to scare kids or people like that, though.

From:

maybe they just think it. Before being beaten to a pulp

I'm sure one or two have underestimated me, at least. Which I don't mind. Being the underdog has its advantages.

From:

aspolyhymnia

I’m sure some have. But yeah, it would be good to be underestimated. I get that sometimes as a woman, being able to use it; that’s a skill

From:

I can imagine. Most of my underestimation comes from the visual impairment, but also socio-economic. Little homegrown firm started by a nobody that goes up against corporate America, things like that.

From:

you are genuinely the most lovely underdog. I’m sure being blind ends up being a huge advantage in being underestimated. You move like you see things crystal clear
