Brainstorming: What's my superhero name?
So, this summer, I am going to be visiting the awesome Cherie Renae Studios and getting a superhero picture done. I will have wings! ... but I need a costume. And a superhero name.
My color will be red. (As you can tell from my icon, it's my favorite color.) My two favorite superheros are probably Oracle and Wonder woman, though I have soft spots for Jason Todd, Stephanie Brown, Superman, and Captain America. Smarts/detective skills/computer skills would be a cool secondary power to have besides the wings.
So! What should my superhero name be? Background? Am I a mythical creature or an alien? Do I use technology or magic? Am I DC or Marvel? (Despite my yuck factor with New 52 and my love of recent Marvel movies, I am at heart a DC girl ... but if the recent relative awesomeness of the two franchises keeps on as it has been recently, that may change.)
Costume! I am a very good seamstress, so I can make anything I want. (There will be no sex-kittening.) With wings, a cape really doesn't work. It could be anything from a simple red turtleneck and black cargo pants and black boots to something more elaborate and superhero-y. (I already have knee-high black boots that I think I will wear because they are practical and look good and I think superheroines don't wear high heels.) Should I go the traditional spandex-route? Should I wear my underwear on the outside? Should I wear a mask? Should I make some kind of insignia to go on the front of the costume? (Designing and creating the insignia would be the most difficult part, I think.)
Discuss!

And I get really cold, so unless it's like 80 out, I look at short sleeves in anything and and go Brrrr!

This is true. I wasn't thinking about the TP/TK combo with wings.
Perhaps super-sight to go with the wings? Enhanced spatial awareness (would be really good in fights) combined with an ability to assess the situation - kind of like a Batman-sense?
