Let's face it: a great many of our most beloved superheroines today were created when some lazy mope from the yestergenerations of comics took an existing male hero and tacked boobs on. Supergirl, Batgirl, Mary Marvel, She-Hulk... the list goes on. Now, a great many of those heroines have indeed become rich and beloved characters on their own, but I think that to many of us, part of the appeal still comes from seeing the inherent power of their "male" counterparts combined with feminine vulnerability.

The Internet at large has created a name for this phenomenon: Rule 63. Pop any character's name into Google - Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter, the freaking Mario Brothers - and you will very likely see that someone, somewhere, has made fanart of them as a hot chick. Why should superheroes be any different.

So, my fellow lovers of all things superheroine... what are your favorite depictions of sex-swapped heroes/villains, and what characters would you like to see gain a sexy female counterpart?

Me, I'm gonna start off with the Geekery Gold Medal and go with obscure Batman villain KGBeast for the latter question. I mean, look at this guy, for Pete's sake.

I think that all of us can agree that that skintight, S&M-worthy costume would look a lot better on some hot Russian girl. Preferably one who's putting Wonder Woman in sexy/violent perils during the height of the Cold War.

Some interesting fan-made concept art on these websites:

The Space Ghost art looks amazing. DareDevil is also one I'd like to see done well in this genre.

I've thought many times about a video of X-23, who is essentially a female clone of Wolverine. Not sure, though. Seems like it might be hard to avoid it getting pretty dark with the healing factor.

I'd like a female Joker, if she looked like this -

I think she's got the right balance of sexy but crazy as a box of frogs.

Y'know, I've never quite bought the idea of a female Joker before, but this girl is smoking hot when she pulls it off.

Because Japanese schoolgirl Tommy Lee Jones Two-Face is something we all need more of in our lives. Some of us just didn't know it.

Well I've used one in a story that I always want to see (especially in a vid video producers ;) )

Nuclear-Man becomes Nuclear Girl

Image

I just like the idea of A) Supergirl meeting someone as powerful or MORE powerful than her and B) a villainess designed purposely to 'defeat' the heroine. Like the greatest trap/plan their foe has come up with. Nuclear Girl fits the bill, for me at least.
Yes Supergirl, that's right its a necklace for you....What's the matter you don't like Kryptonite?

Ah, one of these days, I need to sit down and watch Superman IV. From what I hear, it's not a lot more professionally produced than most fetish/porn superhero videos.

Though I've always liked that clip of Lex and Lenny going "Destroy Superman!" at each other while grinning like total dorks.

Y'know, it's pretty dang sad that this is the closest thing to "all-female Power Rangers team" that Google will give me. The only thing that's remotely Power Rangers is the dresses - aside from that, nada. No boots, no helmets...

Image

One of these days, I've really got to commission a decent all-female Power Rangers pic with all the bells and whistles. Shouldn't be that hard - once the helmets are on, it's basically five characters based off of one model.

Just remembered this fun little piece from Adam Hughes. Thank whoever commissioned it from the man.

Not enough diversity. :laugh:

Also, I'd have liked there to be at least one scene where they had their helmets on. Would've been perfect for an unmasking scene.

Maybe one day it'll happen. The battle for earth one was good but not quite what I was hoping for.
