True Heroism! The Olympian Way! Session 3, Period 3
Partially because of the weather, though mostly due to the topic at hand, this week the workshop met in the Danger Shop.
Hercules himself was wearing a nice brown suit, with a white shirt, green tie, and his normal golden wristbands and headpiece-thingy. Behind him, however, were several mannequins. One dressed like his outfit the class had seen in previous sessions, the sash, the skirt, the sandals. Another wore an outfit that looked more pro-wrestler, with a body harness, a pair of wrestling trunks, shorter sandals, and a belt with a giant 'H' on it.
The others, however, wore costumes of some of Hercules' former teammates. The purpletastic Hawkeye, the equally purple singlet of She-Hulk, the poncy outfit of Thor, and a few others.
Once the class had gathered, they'd find a set of chairs to sit in. Behind them were racks upon racks of simulated clothes, which would become important later.
"Greetings, young heroes!" Hercules said with a grin. "This week, we've got one of the aspects that may seem shallow, but is actually quite important. The greatest opening line ever will not help you strike fear, if your outfit instead elicits laughter and guffawing. I will admit, my outfit sometimes gets laughs from those who think that a man needs pants to be manly. But then I'd do things such as throw them across a room and they learned quickly not to do that again."
He laughed, because he always enjoyed himself. "But the thing is, you must pick something that works for you. Practicality can be useful, but so can impractical clothes that get the right response. Some womanly warriors find that accentuating their form in order to distract their foes is quite useful." He pointed at the She-Hulk costume for that. "Some heroes find that they must have at least sixteen pouches on their outfit in various places. I have no idea what one puts in these pouches, but I have always laughed at the thought they just contain juice boxes. Mmmmm, Juicy Juice. A fine beverage."
Hercules then gestured at the racks. "All I ask you to do today is to put together an outfit for being a hero. Then model it for the class and tell me why you chose what you chose. If you wish to take something from one of the mannequins, you had better make a very good case, as those are the outfits of Avengers, champions without equal." He clapped his hands together. "Well, as the magnificent mortal Tim Gunn says, make it work!"

Talk Amongst Yourselves
Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves
Or not.
The look on her face when the talk turned to She-Hulk and her spandex adequately conveyed her thoughts on using her 'womanly figure' to distract enemies.
Yeah, not going to happen.
Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves
Now, adding armor might be helpful. Maybe he could find some good armor.
Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves
Still, it could be fun to play a little dress-up for the fun of it.
Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves
It had been Warren's mantra for over a year now, and nothing was going to change that, today. He chewed the inside of his cheek while he contemplated what sort of outfit he was going to put together. He'd seen some pretty sleek stuff on the X-Men from his own reality, on the news.
Leather? Way better than tights.
