[QUOTE="Wednesday Boy, post: 5408294, member: 53678"] I think everyone's giving good advice on why superheroes wear the costumes that they do. That said, if you wanted a more realistic taste for a Heroes-flavored game, it's fine to have the characters wear the paramilitary type outfits. It would be a different subgenre than the tights superheroes and probably wouldn't work well with many of the traditional trappings found in comic books (saving the falling damsel, witty banter with the supervillains, etc.). But if you want the JLA to be a black ops group, go for it! (Incidentally, the J. Michael Strackzynski series "Supreme" would be great source material for a Heroes-esk game like that.) You might want to have the game take place in your own setting instead of the Marvel Universe because it might not fit perfectly into the traditional MU. But with gods, mutants, radioactive spiders, aliens, and gun-toting Vietnam vets all in the same universe any concept you come up with should be able to find [I]some[/I] corner to reside in.
