Imagine if the costume were painted on, but we could put "street clothes" over it to hide their identities...oooh...Admittedly, this would work better for Superman, etc, but...huh, now that I think about it, why don't women get to hide their identities as much? They have to change completely to get into those ridiculous outfits.

It's not even as though we're asking for a lot. They've already got the logos on the man shirts; just stamp them onto a shirt fitted to women. And done! Rake in the merchandising cash, Marvel!

This is so frustrating. All I ever wanted (since the age of, I don't know, eight) was a green or red t-shirt with the Phoenix logo on it. What is so hard about that?

"Alana — I’ve been trying to customize dolls that size (The Disney princess ones) into Green Lanterns. Now you have me wondering how hard it would be just to make Polly Pocket clothing in superhero styles…"

Get ones old enough that their clothing is painted on. And then tell me where you found them. =D

"Where are the female superheroes in this superhero merchandise aimed at female people?" That's what I've been wondering. I would love to buy some merchandise of Rouge, Storm, Black Cat, Domino and Polaris. I don't want to buy some lipstick that just has random artwork from a old romance slapped on it. There's already enough merchandise with the male Marvel superhero characters on them. I want the opportunity to buy something that represents my gender.

Maddy -- We've been tearing Stylin Online apart over on Twitter, and once you filter past the Wolverine stuff there's some X-women stuff. You have to search for it, though.

If Marvel made a simple woman-shaped T-shirt with the Phoenix logo, they'd rake in cash money for it. Probably just from me alone!

I would LOVE to have a Rogue or Storm t-shirt. The 90s X-Men cartoon was my first exposure to Marvel as a kid, and as you say, I wanted to *be* those characters.

Spider-Man/Green Goblin (which I predict will be a surprisingly good seller)

Hahaha definitely.

The image itself makes me want to squee. The text makes me sad.

You know what'd be funny and I'd buy the hell out of? Disney Princess-style superheroines. I want those little Polly Pocket-type dolls where I can change Jean from Marvel Girl to Phoenix to Dark Phoenix to Morrison-era black outfit.
