Vixen Appreciation 2020

[LordAllMIghty]

In addition to Vixen, which other DC characters are involved in the modeling and/or fashion industry? I know Lady Godiva and Starfire were once models as well.

Fire was a model I think.

I would hazard a guess is the face was altered in the final product because of the legal danger of giving a product a celebrity likeness that said celeb does not endorse nor been compensated for. DC ain’t got RiRi level money to offer.

Yeah, that's a good point.

It looks like Vixen is wearing a utility belt in that picture. I remember in one of her guest appearances in the Animal Man book from the 1980s, she used to carry smoke bombs in her belt.

It's the outfit she wore while she was with Suicide Squad. That's actually not a bad pic.

I think it's a shame that both Vixen and Bumblebee aren't being utilized well by DC. They've both been around since the late 70s, and are always interesting in TV projects, but the guys who make the comics are clueless.

Forgot how much her early JLA look was based off Wolverine.

Man, that Wolverine hairdo...I think that was a really bad idea x___X

I'm still partial to her original design from Action Comics. It's a shame we never see it anymore and that it was so short lived.

I will never be able to consider this eye-catching iconic look by Chuck Patton a “mistake”. Extra points for including braids to reflect her cultural background. It leapt off the page and cover and made me pick up my first regular Justice League book.


A more modern Patton take on Mari....

I actually still like the pixie cut but some of the newer designs with her natural hair look great too. Her original look always seemed a bit bland imo.

It made a reappearance in Justice League of America when they fought the Queen of Fable.

Lovely, I think the face is a little to strong for me.

I think my biggest problem with some comic book fans is that they always associated her with cats. I get it, she uses claws a lot but she can also swim like a fish, fly like a bird, run like a horse and hit you with strength of elephant.

Wow, that's really cool! She should look like that all the time, in my opinion.
