Ex: Misty Knight’s costumes are largely atrocious but her streetwear game is flawless, John Constantine should never wear anything but a cheap suit he has clearly slept in, etc.īut Cassie is part of Wonder Woman’s franchise. There are heroes who rock the hell out of civvies, but they’re usually antiheroes or street level types. However, it does highlight what I’ve always had an issue with vis-a-vis Cassie’s superheroic wardrobe, and I’d like to thank Loki and The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl v2 #43 for a reaction image that I suspect I will be using many, many times in the future: This is my favorite of her costumes, and only partially because it’s what she was wearing when I first started reading comics.
And yet she’s still so cute!Īs Cassie got more confident, her look became more polished. The dialogue really makes this panel, because she’s talking about her previous costume and oh, sweetie pie, this is not better. She eventually gave up on the wig and went in a more S Club 7 direction:
Usually comic book wigs are implausibly perfect plot bouffants that even a fight with a supervillain can’t dislodge, but this thing clearly cost her $9.99 at Party City the day after Halloween, and Athena bless her for it. My favorite thing about this is how visibly ratty that wig is. Once Cassie decided to fight crime regularly, she realized she needed something to hide her secret identity, so she chose…this:
(Fun fact: as I was researching Cassie’s past costumes, I learned that apparently DC staff at the time she debuted referred to this precious, awkward child as “Cassie, the Horse-Faced Wonder Girl.” Ha! Ha! Comics are a nightmare!)
Unbeatable squirrel girl costume how to#
I mean, honestly, how completely adorable is this? Her bike shorts! Her million layers! Her punky little haircut! She has no idea how to use those winged sandals! It’s not in any way a good costume, but it’s absolutely what some dorky little Greek mythology nerd would have worn in 1996.
