Holy mother of God: Alpha Flight cosplay on eBay.
Unsurprisingly, the Byrne Board is all over this:
“My wife already has a black wig… The design isn’t perfect, but this would rank up there with the Princess Leia bikini for me…”
“Yuck! That’s one of the tackiest things I’ve seen in awhile.”
“I wouldn’t mind seeing a shiny lycra version of the classic red-and-gold Iron Man armor — that might look somewhat spiffy, provided you added the necessary shoulder details, unibeam, and hip-discs.”
Byrne himself, of course, uses this as an excuse for one of his traditional complaints:
“Further evidence that superheroes do not wear Spandexâ„¢!”
What about further evidence that people have fetishes for your schizophrenic screwed-up superheroine, John? What about that?

I looked at the eBay auction, and this part scared me:
” our serive : open eye/mouth/ hood seperated/ add crotch zipper/ bra zipper/add penis/ is totally free! ”
“Add penis”?!? And it’s free?!? On a woman’s costume?
I’m flummoxed.

Perhaps they meant, crotch zipper allows… easy access… of… items?

Oh, that’s exactly what they meant, Dan.
Exactly.
“Items.” Yes.
