	Not very 'Maxima'-ish (the colors don't pop, while Maxima was extremely bright in the old look), but not a bad design in itself. Could work. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	That's what I thought too. It really is a nice design, it just isn't really her. I fee like I'm looking at a Namor villain. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	There's something kind of insectoid and alien about this design, from what we can see of it. There might be potential there. (Reply to this)

	Superman will certainly not want to be her mate now. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Which would be sadly ironic given how xenophobia seems to be so rampant amongst humans. I hope he'd judge her by who she is, not what she looks like. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I was just thinking about Maxima the other day..... Im ambivalent on the change but its really only an issue if you really care about all of the aspects of the "I WANT YOU AS MY MATE SUPERMAN" dynamic. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	no subject mrstatham 2011-10-18 04:39 am UTC (link)
	I don't see the problem. Superman never willingly reciprocates her feelings, and that dynamic can still be maintained, as old as it'll get all over again after the first time Clark responds in the negative to her affections. The only thing lost so far is the fact she looked like Angie Everhart, and to me, it's not a big loss. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Still too humanoid for an alien (I dislike the idea that there are any humanoid aliens really, Superman/girl included), but a step in the right direction. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	Yeeep. DC really is apparently going the way of making sure alien characters this time around really are more alien. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	And so they should. It's a bit of a joke that four to six of the major aliens or alien races in the DCU, be they Kryptonian, Daxamite or whatever, all looked the same as humans, really. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	no subject celestialchild 2011-10-18 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	Haha. She was some alien who came to Earth looking for a suitable mate, and wanted Superman. On her planet they have done selective breeding for centuries or something, which is how she gained all her super-power abilities etc, and she wanted to breed with Superman for his.

	I don't have a problem with her looking more alien. (Reply to this)

	no subject mullon 2011-10-18 04:14 am UTC (link)
	So she gets more cleavage, but we lose the legs and the face takes a hit. I tihnk I'd rather have the legs back. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Also BATTLE HEELS. I do however, like that she's an alien thats not just a human with different colored skin or a walnut stapled to her forehead. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	Supergirl is looking very Amanda Connor there, I like. (Reply to this)

	So this Maxima wants to mate with Kara? It doesn't seem that that would work all that well. (Though, in a universe where Clark is unattached, Maxima wouldn't work as well as she previously did.) (Reply to this)

	Good: aliener. Bad: Pointless armor. Bad: Heels. Bad: Ridiculous cleavage-showing top thing. Worst: absurd vagina-hinting V-cut pants. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Sword arm armor isn't entirely unsensible. It's the arm you're going to have pointed at the enemy after all. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	Maybe personality-origin wise she's more strongly based on oldMaxima. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I like it. It gets boring when ALL the aliens look human, though considering her story it makes sense that she is nonetheless humanoid. (Reply to this)
