Sharp Dressed (Wo)man

[stubbleupdate]

Do you recognise this woman without her cycle helmet?


Yes, it's Cloud 9 of the Initiative, now appearing in Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt

The retro aviatrix look kinda suits her.

[q99]

Maybe she's starting to loose up again and get back to her roots? That is, just wanting to fly, rather than be a soldier ^^

[crinos]

Well, after Steve dismissed her she basically went back to normal in a snap from the looks of it.

That's Steve for you; He can undo one of the greatest injustices of the Initiative era in the span of a page.

[sinisterlink]

I love her new outfit. It helps that I absolutely HATED her old one, but I think the new one fits her very well.

[skywaterblue]

That's a cool redesign, agreed. I mean, yes, steampunk is just goth that went brown, but it suits a character who flies around on little steam clouds.

[sherkahn]

MUCH BETTER!

[jcbaggee]

I kinda liked he old costume, if only because it was something unique. Don't hate the new one, though that style jacket and goggles just makes me miss Nomad :\

[schala_kid]

Why you remind me? Why? I also thought about Bucky And now I'm sad.

[pyrotwilight]

Marvel sure likes tearing down Barnes with hammers eh?

[evilsneak]

Very Rocketeer-ish without the goofy helmet.

Nice.

[dorksidefiker]

Much, much better. Of course, I seriously get the change in costume; the old one was likely just as much a product of the Initiative bootcamp as her training was; this is an outfit of HER choice.

[auggie18]

I'm aware she pretty much just stole that uniform from Nomad, but I don't care. It looks great on her.

[salinea]

Not like Nomad will have much use of it anymore.

[icon_uk]

Do I want to ask what happened to Nomad?

[salinea]

Do you want to be depressed?

[icon_uk]

Fair enough... forget I asked please.

[thanekos]

In a word, Onslaught.

[okkult3000]

Amelia Earhart also stole that look from Nomad.

[halloweenjack]

Amelia Earhart being a comic book character and all.

[goattoucher]

And now you know her terrible secret..

[avantre]

I especially liked the issue where she punched Hitler.

[mister_cairo]

I likes it, Though I'd like it a whole lot more if her jacket acquired a sew-on "9" badge or two.

Anyone care to enlighten me on why there are a bunch of dollar bills floating around Paris? Or are they elsewhere and I've done a spot of conclusion jumping?

[randyripoff]

Eh. I think she lacks distinction now.

[twigcollins]

Oh thank heaven, that old costume was one of the worst ever.

I miss the t-shirt she was rocking, but anything was a step up from that horrible helmet.

[icon_uk]

Roxy Rocket called, she wants her look back! :P Actually, I really like the look, it appears to be a lot more practical and comfortable for a sniper (though I'm still not a fan of her being turned into one)

[randyripoff]

If you're a sniper, why would you even wear a costume? Wouldn't it be better to fade into the background rather than calling attention to yourself?

[icon_uk]

Because she's a rather unique sniper, her concealment point is inside a cloud, specifically the self-generated cloud she flies within, so keeping warm would be of more relevance. If she's spotted it doesn't really matter what she's wearing as she'll always stick out like... well, like a person sitting on top of a cloud in mid air.... unless she dressed as a large seagull or something :)

[randyripoff]

Well, I'll just say that I think the aviator look gives her a uniqueness that the other doesn't. I think now she looks like generic super hero #7.

[icon_uk]

You mean the second one is her new outfit? Really?

I was assuming it was the other way around, because that second one is hideous!

[stubbleupdate]

No, you were right the first time. That's why I asked if people recognised her without her cycle helmeted costume, as that had been her look for the last few years.

[randyripoff]

Oh...if that's the case...

[Emily Litella]Never mind[/Emily Litella]

Huh

[mambalev]

Needs more Steampunk tech.

Tesla Stuff or maybe a steam powered power fist

Also why if she is in Paris, is the money American...

[mullon]

Okay, this sensible redesign I do like, though maybe it's because I just played through BioShock 2.

But, why is there American money scattered everywhere?!

[cainofdreaming]

What? Are you saying that there are some other currencies in the world? Euros? Riiight. Monopoly money doesn't actually work in stores.

[glimmung]

I am guessing that you are being sarcastic right?

That is France, so Euros would be the correct currency.

[cainofdreaming]

I am. For the time being, at least. Let's see if Portugal, Greece and company won't make me prophetic, rather.

Sorry, just a bit over-exposed to this stuff at the moment. The whole "do we support other EU nations or not" thing has come up again and again when they've tried to form our cabinet of ministers around here. Which will probably actually happen around the time for the next elections, by the look of things.

Our local politics - more of a snakepit than those of US of A... guess that's a kind of an accomplishment too.

[glimmung]

Hah, all politics is local.

Just out of curiosity how is Ireland doing? I know they were in danger at one point.

[cainofdreaming]

Dunno really. They've been eclipsed in the news by Greece and Portugal, but that doesn't mean that the situation has been resolved. I'd think that would have been news too. I'm guessing they're not nearly as bad off as the other two countries, but that's just the general feeling I've gotten. Not really motivated to look into this more than what the telly throws at my face anyway.

[liliaeth]

Just wondering, don't know where you're from, but I'm guessing your government hasn't been at it for over a year, just trying to form a government?
Belgian here and seriously seriously pissed off with most if not all of our politicians.

[thanekos]

" Come back, we still have a few games of Whack-A-Mole left! "

[zenbro]

I thought that...weapon looked familiar. A longer handle and she's ready for croquet.

[icon_uk]

So how many times does that make the Eiffel Tower having been blown up in American media?

[stubbleupdate]

I'm assuming that this is the same explosion of the Eiffel Tower that we had in Fear Itself previously.

[big_daddy_d]

Cloud 9's new suit is a perfect fit for her.

[halloweenjack]

Yeah, Thor Girl needs a serious costume/weapon redesign. Some chain mail and movie-inspired Celtic knotwork on the weapon wouldn't hurt.

[blackruzsa]

I am soooo glad she's back to being her quirky old self.

[proteus_lives]

Meh.
