I just launched this trope: Action Fashionista, and the pic I posted (which looked pretty good in the YKTTW) is horrible for the article itself. It basically needs a better pic that still clearly illustrates what it's about.

In shorthand, it's a trope about a character who lacks one iconic costume, or that rarely wears said costume into battle. To use comic book examples, Spider-man doesn't count, just because he has a lot of variation on his Spider-suit, and Batman doesn't count just because he wears different suits throughout the ages. However, The Wasp counts because she actually is a Fashionista and one of the things she's known for is constantly updating or altering her outfit to be fashionable.

This does not address the points you describe, but I think improvement on current, which is huge and has several very similar / redundant outfits:

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

A collage of the Wasp's costumes would work best, I'd think.

[up][up] I pulled the original pic (do to it being a bad image and put up that proposal for now. I'm certain we can do better, though.

Old pic for reference:

[up][up] Here are some versions google gave me of that very thing. None are great, but it might be a decent basis for something.

[up] ...wow...that's a lot more than I was expecting. Maybe we should get, say, 4-6 for the collage, and have the caption list the total number that's in that biggest pic.

[up] Yeah, I was surprised too. Again, those are just Google images pics. I would put together a more feasible one myself, but I have no access to editing technology from home.

Clock is set. Stick with the one that's up now, or try to do something with the Wasp pics?

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
