Real men wear pink!
I recall a bard saying this…
Yes, they do. I took a picture of a man in a pink T-shirt that actually stated this!
Is this going to be it or will there be more???
I wonder if rule 63 Sidekick Girl is still technically a sidekick or if he met the ridiculous standards of the Hero Agency and is simply a co-hero with rule 63 Illumina?
I think he was just not tall enough.
This is beautiful.
Also the Fishnet Ninjas are so very pretty.
There was that rift so I guess there will be more.
For some reason Val’s oufit while generic and unisex, for some reason doesn’t look right on a guy.
a Male Illumina Plays though not sure why
Illumino’s costume is awfully skin covering, compared to Illumina’s. Fishnet ninja is adorable.
It’s almost unfair right? Almost like there are differing standards for what kind of costume design is expected from a woman as opposed to a man in heroing. Makes you wonder if, without the obviously implied half naked costume expectations, Mack wouldn’t have chosen a full body suit as well. And it seems to apply to everyone. Hazel shows skin in her costume; Jasper does not. Hazel’s super tough and badass heroine shows stomach while Jasper’s male hero does not. Isauro and Maelstrom and even Chris are completely clothed. Val is wearing regular clothes but even she seems to have been unconsciously affected, as her top has no sleeves.
I absolutely just realized this and that’s amazing! If other opposite day people show up in this story, it’ll be interesting to see how much sink their costumes cover. That’s definately the kind of trope the creators would jump on.
Correction: skin
How long will this story run?
‘Ms. Bat II’ totally made my day spotting that.
And here I thought Sidekick Boy was the goth. No chance of them meeting, then?
What goth?
Weirdly enough, I think it’s the way the straps come toward his neck that make this version of SG’s outfit look off. Don’t most guys’ tanks go more straight over the shoulder?
And for some reason, the similarity between the haircuts here makes me giggle. A lot. I would have figured Val(Vick?) would have a really plain, short haircut or something more like Isuaro’s.
Valerie is masculine in some parts of the world. Or SB could be Valentine or Valent or something and still be Val.
Okay I get why Illumina can’t fight, she’s a twig but shouldn’t someone as buff as this dude be able to throw a punch, or at least hold someone down? I mean, look at the muscle, good lord. If we were just going heroic build he could of been lith and stuff and just like maybe swimmer muscle but he’s built like a body builder.
He probably has the body type of a body builder who only does it for show. Show muscles are pretty weak. Weightlifters on the other hand would be built more like Jasper.
He probably could hit decently hard by regular person standards. While those kind of muscles aren’t optimized to generate the most force per pound, they aren’t totally useless. But if he has Illumina’s personality, then he’s not going to connect versus martial arts villains like fishnet ninjas, he’s not going to be able to hurt people with actual damage resistance, and even against common thugs, his reluctance to take and deal out actual damage is going to leave Sidekick Boy carrying the can. His forte will still be, “Being an impressive-looking distraction.”
Ms. Bat II. Nice.
Maleumina is really pulling off that look in pink. Gotta say that.
Am I the only person who saw that and thought of Maebara Keiichi (Higurashi)?
