The image was changed by atheist723 without discussion from the top image to the bottom one. I like the old image better, since it's not literally a suit.

The bottom one's much simpler and matches the title well. What's wrong with it being a suit if it's called "Kryptonite Proof Suit"?

Non-literal examples show people that the trope is much more flexible than the name might suggest.

Maybe the new image matches the name too closely but the old one doesn't make any sense. Being a zombie girl protects her from something?

It's vampire girl and coppertone with "spf 500" protects her from the sun.

^^ It's SPF 500 sunblock :)

"I like the old image better, since it's not literally a suit."

It's also the right idea, whereas the Super Suit one is only an example above the example line. Page Images Should Explain The Trope.

My only issue with the original pic is that it's kinda hard to read the part about it being for vampires; if we can find a better version of that pic, I'd say swap it back.

But isn't a SPF 500 sunblock with a monster girl on the label enough to make it clear that the monster girl needs a really good sunblock? She being a vampire isn't really important, she could be any type of monster/alien that is so sensitive to the sun that coppertone have decided to market a SPF 500 sunblock to them.

Well a KPS gives immunity to "that one weakness", so it is arguably important that she is a vampire. Sunlight destroys many undead creatures, though, and I think it's clear she's an undead creature.

I can't find a better still version of the sunblock pic. It's from Vampires Suck, if anyone feels like torturing themselves with a Seltzer And Friedberg parody to get a screencap.

[up]Just to save you or someone else the trouble, I got the pic from Vampires Suck directly from the DVD, that was the best shot I could get that didn't lose readability to gloss, obstruction, etc. Basically, that still should be the best shot from the movie, barring someone with a better eye and ability to catch just the right transitional frame.

For the sake of proposing something, in Disney Fairies: Secret of the Wings there's a mobile snow machine that allows a snow fairy to go into the above freezing parts of the forest.

The following pic isn't ideal since it doesn't show the cart moving along with her, but I could get a better still of it when I'm off work. Here's more or less how it'd look.

[up][up][up] Cool; if that's the best we can get then I'm fine with it.

[up][up], [up] Not really crazy about those as the page pic, but they'd be good for Image Links.

[up] That's probably the easiest way to resolve this.

Indeed. I adjusted the tag to reflect the thread actually deciding to keep the pic. I'm not really impressed at all with the current caption; keep it, chunk it, or replace it?

Current caption is "For reference, (human) dermatologists recommend SPF 15-35." I don't think readers need to be told that 500 is unrealistically high. The caption should make some reference to that girl being a vampire, I think, since that is apparently ambiguous. At least the tag on the bottle: "Prevents vampire skin from bursting into flames." Can someone do better?

"It's also great for moisturizing if applied before torch-wielding mobs come by!"

Hm I think I still like "Prevents vampire skin from bursting into flames" best, for a caption. If it's something else I think at least having the word "vampire" in it somewhere is important, I associate torch-wielding mobs with Dr. Frankenstein, and Twilight familiarity is needed to get the Edward one, as-is.

Maybe "Apparently the Twilight vampires used the knockoff brand with glitter in it."
