Every hero has his/her “civilian” identity, and their “hero” identity. So you see trouble (or otherwise hear about it) going on right that moment. How would you change into your costume?

1. Run to the nearest telephone booth, alley, elevator, or some place with privacy and strip down and put on your hero outfit (or just strip down to your hero outfit if you wear it under your clothes).

2. Develop some device (tech, magic, or otherwise) that contains your costume so you can just use it to generate your costume so you can change into it.

3. Use a token of some sort that changes your costume for you, often forcing you to do some elaborate dance as your clothes are completely stripped away before your hero costume appears (and have some spare clothes handy in case said transformation actually destroys your clothes).

4. Use some other method to change into your hero costume.

5. Who cares about costumes? Just go out there and save the day!!!

Well this is an easy one since I AM a superhero.
I usually just strip down to my nakedny goodness in the middle of a crowd, people are always too busy looking at my giant… Ehm… Mr. Jenkins to even notice my face. Then when I put on the costume people are not only awed by the costume but by what's underneath too.

busy looking at my giant… Ehm… Mr. Jenkins

lol!

With Gem and the Holograms, I always wondered that if their outfits were just holograms… well, couldn't they just all be naked really and no one would know…
Well “wondered” is the wrong word, more like “fantasised” :)

I wouldn't have to change.

Because Batman is always prepared.

I like the way the Guyver does that with the mechanised ball that just robots the whole thing all over his body.

…Mobile phones must have really buggered up Clarke Kent's whole world. I bet he wishes he'd stayed in the 1930's. :(

All I need to do is go into an alley and put on my Bucket-o-Justice on my head.

Hmm. I suspect with much stumbling.

Maybe I could just get away with a poncho for a superhero costume?

Two words: Nano - tech.

Just hop into the cockpit of the mech ten open up a can of whoopass on the unfortunate baddie.

I'd do it like Cutie Honey.


not only is the transformation awesome, it doubles as fan-service at the same time! :P

this would fall under number 2 on the list, since how her method is more science-based than magic.

Please, I'll change in the open! Nobody seems to notice in the movies!

It doesn't matter where I change. The only thing important to me is keeping a tight fit in the crotch area.

Naw. He'd probably just change the way some Power Rangers do it. Yes… I've watched a scene where they used their cell phones to change into costume…

You just reminded me of THIS…

Youtube Video: Worst Transformation Sequence Ever possibly NSFW, will probably fry your brain, melt your eyes, and make you want to disembowel yourself…

i'd punch my clothes on. bitches.

Eh, that wasn't NSFW, I actually watched it at work just now! :)
Not so bad at all, nice and funny.
Watching some of the other girl clips there though was pretty cool. Love the gratuitous bouncing boob shots.

Weather male or female, your transformation should involve at least one pantyshot as well as a highly conspicuous view of a pair of massive, convulsively juddering breasts. -regardless of original bust size- they just appear during the change.

I'd imagine you just saving the day in the nude and punching anyone who said anything.

Wow, I've never seen a male transformation sequence! It's kinda funny.

I'd jump into a tree, change up there, and fly out of the tree. Because if I'm gonna be a superhero, I'd like to have the ability to fly.

An old man… stripping… with a crotch shot right to the face… I think I nearly stabbed myself in the eye after seeing that…

There's one webcomic character that this would actually apply to… Transformed from a male to a female and turned into a Valkyrie…

Oh, pish tosh! It's a rounded, bouncy, highly stylised, cartoon image.
If it was a real person, you'd have a point, but that thing was closer to a balloon with legs than a drawing of a man.

Valkyrie Yuki.
But ALL characters need to do it. Wonder-woman, Superman, the Incredible Hulk…

I'd always be dressed properly. John Steed never needed a transformation scene.



Aurora Moon thank you for posting Cutey Honey. :)

I'd do it like Cutie Honey too. Despite the fact I'm a guy.

=D Feel the love.

Aurora Moon

or transform like yugi into yami

or bruce banner into hulk

My superpower better be the ability to change into my costume inconspicuously. I wouldn't have to worry about it.

My clothing would be a part of me.
I shall be StudentLad!

Number 5 on the list, I'd just kick ass, and not stick around long enough for any pictures. While the fight is going on, you'd have to be preeetty stupid to pause long enough in one spot for someone to get a clear picture. Cuz that's about the same amount of time it takes to kills a person.

I'd probably just do the job in the clothes that I had on.

I mean, the civilians are already fleeing in terror. They don't need to see a rainbow-clad cabaret guy in a silly cape zooming on in to save them. Clothes make the man, after all.

my costume change would involve putting on a trench coat and some cool shades and pulling out a BFG. Yes I'd be wearing clothes under said coat.

I would also want to do it like sailor moon/cutie honey. lots of music and nudity :)

I actually watched Aurora Moon's youtube clip finally- that was awesome. O_O
Looks like I'll have to pick up another anime series…

there's actually different series of cutie honey…

the old 70's version cutie honey, which was actually a pretty trippy and bizarre cartoon but it was cool all the same.

The new cutie honey (which was featured in the video)…. which takes place in an highly dystopic city, in which crime is numerous. it's apparently set in the very far future. The cutie honey's task in this series is to try to find the mastermind behind all the suffering going on, and stop him. this one is my most favorite version.

Cutie Honey Flash (which is basically the child safe version that was created by the same company that produced Sailor Moon. Since how parents complained about the realistic uncensored nudity, the cussing and violence of New Cutie Honey… despite the fact that it was marketed towards people of 17 to 20 years old. so this version was made to market to younger teenagers and children.)

And of course, the live action series. I hated the live action since how the heroine in it was super-annoying. She was so ditsy, and wasn't as intelligent as her previous interactions. and there was her habit of dancing on school desks yelling “hooray, I got praised!” every time the teacher praised her for getting an answer right. she was so retarded that it was embarrassing to watch her. the redeeming thing about this series though, was her darker counterpart, Miki Saotome/Sister Miki, who I loved.
