Purpleto

I missed "Bad Costume Wednesday" yesterday, my apologies. Luckily the "X-Men" were on the job and managed to not only identify a bad costume for us, but to put the perp in chains as befits this violation of the fashion code:

The fact that they ruined the costume of one of the all-time great villains particularly galls me. Magneto is a bad-ass, but they turned him into a "good guy" by making him leader of the X-Men, and then slapped this Broadway-escapee bondage getup on him. Purple's a very risky color for anyone to wear, but particularly for villains who stake their reputations on being stone-cold killers. When you add in the super long gloves -- also purple -- and the silly pink "M" on his chest, it's just embarrassing.

Legwear

The push is clearly for doing legwear next, but looking at my list it appears all but the "Socks" from HM2.5 have already been converted. Which means I need suggestions for what else you would like to see in the Legwear slot, so let 'em rip in the comments.

As usual, please edit your requests -- spamming the entire contents of a Google Image search for "Pants" is not helpful. Only request items that are a) not already in the program, b) you would really want, and c) have some sort of wide appeal.

Suggestions with links to an image of what you are wanting are the most helpful, but if text is all you have that's fine too.

And thanks in advance for your input!

HM3: Modern Headgear update

I've just updated the Headgear-Modern set for HeroMachine 3 with the following nine items drawn from the last suggestion thread:

Thanks for the ideas everyone! I'm not 100% sure what to work on next, so I'm going to take the next couple of days to work on prize items. By all means, feel free to make suggestions in the comments as to what set of items you want worked on next. In essence I'm going through the list of 2.5 sets and converting those but as to which it ought to be, I'm open.

ETA: Actually there are a couple of others, like a coonskin cap, included as well. Just check it out, they're all at the end.
