The Human Shield Revised

kybearfuzzI revised the Human Shield design after a comment from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dr_tectonic asked about something a bit more revealing. It makes sense actually. An invulnerable hero probably doesn't need much of a costume. It reminds me of the Laurel Kent characters in the "Legion of Super-Heroes" universe, a 30th century descendant of Superman who inherited his invulnerability. As such, she wore very little in terms of a costume (usually a glorified bikini with no shoes). I prefer this hairy-chested hero instead, but she was pretty cool.
I may go the force-field route power-wise so people don't accuse me of ripping off Laurel Kent. It works either way for me.

Ha, there's a thought: maybe he's Human Shield instead of Mr. Invulnerable because he's good at drawing aggro: he's got a hidden bonus power that focuses people's attention to him, so all the bad guys fire at him and ignore whoever he's shielding. (Does it work better the more skin he's got showing? Naw, that just 'cause he's an exhibitionist. ;)
