"This is going to be great!" Ferro enthused. He got so excited he clapped his hands together a little bit, which made a dull, metallic ringing sound.

There were quite a few dressing rooms in the large workshop where the Anthramite clothiers worked and Ferro was waiting in the large area outside them all, eagerly waiting to see how everyone reacted to their new costumes. The Anthramites had done most of the designs, with input from their respective Legionnaires, but they'd started to let him help sometimes after he'd shown them some samples of his sewing, so he'd gotten to suggest some alterations this time, too.

He sat on a stool and kicked his legs slightly, idly looking over at one of the many mirrors around the workshop, but then he quickly looked away.

It wasn't that he disliked his reflection the way he used to. Back then, whenever he did, all he could think about was the ugliness that his mask was covering, but he'd finally made peace with that. No, he hated looking in mirrors because in their shining surfaces he saw his body shining back and it just made him think about how he might be stuck as living metal forever, never able to turn human again. He might never be able to taste food or feel people's hugs or --

Ferro decided to stop thinking about it and instead looked at some of the sewing patterns the Anthramites left out. They'd left the room for now, mostly because some of them was getting cranky at them trying to re-measure their inseams fifty times, so now he was getting to poke around in their stuff in a way he usually didn't.

"You don't really feel like a superhero until you put your costume on for the first time." He paused. "Well, actually, that's not true, you don't really feel like a superhero until you put your costume on for the first time and save somebody, but the costume part makes it feel more like you're a superhero than just the saving someone, because if you save someone in normal clothes you're kind of just a hero, so you need the costume for the super part."

[ooc: If you guys would like to make some visuals, there are a few superhero generators you can check out. 1 (f only), 2 (m/f, somewhat complicated to use but the 2.5 version is simpler so you can also try that), 3 (m/f, somewhat limited), 4 (m/f, not in English but easy to figure out, good options), and 5 (m/f, limited options, but simple to use).]

He whistles, because damn.

Seriously. Damn.

"Non reflective material?" Shiny was not really something he was too fond of either. Too easily spotted. Him? He's not here for a costume fitting, just serving as the peanut gallery over here, sporting a new Legion jacket, the uniform for the support crew.

At least he's discreet about his gawking.

"Yes, that was basically the question," Parker agrees, turning around to face the speaker. She brightens. "Unless the future has programmable metal. Which would be so cool."

She is constantly discovering new things that the future has that they don't have back home. If she wants a reasonable chance of sneaking anything cool back (besides her ring, Brainiac 5 said she could keep that), she'll need to start prioritizing.

"Not sure if they do but I can look into it. Duo the super tech at your service." He says with a bit of dramatic flair. Yeah, it would be cool, but he wasn't sure if even in this era it was attainable.

"I'm thinkin' they can put a coating on it that mutes the glossy on it if you want them to. Otherwise you can stay shiny. Not really a bad thing."

He pauses.

"You definitely got a solid look there either way. Let me put it this way. If you were in a comic, I'd read it."
