Squizzle posted:GISing vampirella redesign turns up some decent ideas. This one is  because it splits the difference between "sexy", "comics-functional", and "vampiric." The short-cloak aspect screams "vampire" while being vaguely reminiscent of a hero cape/duster, and the red/white color screams "atypical."

I've rarely felt more embarrassed of my hobby than when I was going through Savage Sword of Conan back issues and people in the letters section were writing in tons and tons of praise for the story that (re?)retconned Sonja's origin to involve a violent rape that gave her superpowers.

Weirdly, Howard never invented Red Sonya, but he did write another female sword bearer who was way more progressive and downright feminist by the standards of the time(Dark Agnes). People should just use her, but...brand recognition...

Pearl is going to come back thanks to Stephan University but I agree it's an old lady name. I never thought of Emma as old as much as achingly WASP-y (Emma Frost, if nothing else). Ezekiel is biblical with a unique cadence so there will always be some goober who thinks it'll make their kid cooler without actually needing to be edgy. Gladys though... Yeah aside from Gladys the Groovy Mule I can't remember the last time it was used as a name for someone born after World War 2

I was going to say Gladys Knight, but on a double check she was born during it. E: Also, Agnes is actually still a really popular name, it's just in stealth mode hiding in Europe as Ines. Ghostlight fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Sep 5, 2016 |

People should just use her, but...brand recognition... Well, the comics Sonja is an amalgam of that character and another Howard character from an unrelated story set in like the 17th century. And yes, the original origin was her village gets razed, she got raped, and in her despair, prays for vengeance and sees a vision of a goddess blessing her with the strength to get her own revenge, with the caveat that she'll lose it if she ever gives herself to a man who has not beaten her in combat. To be fair, Roy Thomas hammered in the possibility that it was literally her hallucinating and she just was naturally awesome at fighting. But she's basically a one-woman army, so super-powers in the Captain America sense.
