This is a pipe dream, but I wanted to be sure it was documented somewhere.
Launch a web-based tailor so that people who don't have the game yet can create and share their own superheroes. Also provide a way for people who have the game to super easily share their superheroes with those who don't. Put in hooks for people to be able to easily post their creations to Instagram, FB, Discord, etc.
Presumably there's not much of a marketing budget for CO, so maybe a marketing tactic that others without budget use effectively to garner more awareness, attention, and customers could work.
If people end up using the web version, then launch a small mobile app as well. It doesn't have to sync with the game, or import costumes, or anything fancy. Just be a way for people to play with the tailor while they're on the go and send their heroes to their friends.

I think this is a great idea

Could just have them all be unlocked. That way you can create the character you want and go in-game to get the pieces that are missing.
Or not worry about existing players too much, and just offer this to new prospective players that are still on the fence about installing CO and make just the base level costume pieces available.

Another thing I'd like would be a reasonably simple way of getting a high resolution character image that includes auras; the costume creator won't show effects, accomplishing good shots in-game is pretty hard, and demorecord has a considerable learning curve.

Kinda worried this would have the opposite effect on prospective players. They might just go "wow, terrible graphics, pass". Sure, they could do that when they actually boot the game up too, but by that point they've spent some time installing it so they might not want that time to go to waste, and also the gameplay is a button click away so they might decide to at least check that out. With this web thingy they might say "Phew, glad you showed me this before I wasted time installing it."

The idea is to give people on the fence a good impression of the customization that's possible with CO. Yeah if it's done poorly then it shouldn't be done at all. Or if it's not possible to do it well then sure ok. With regards to technical feasibility, difficulties, etc...I'm not inclined to take anything that players have to say seriously. That's for the devs to decide as they are both more qualified to speak to those things and have way more context.

Well, I didn't say anything whatsoever about technical feasibility.
Yes, and I'm sure we lose a lot of potential players at that point, so let's not guarantee and/or accelerate that process. At least the images they show on the steam page are made to be flattering.

I don't see what makes you so incredibly sure. You must have some hard numbers to be this passionate about it.
The suggestion is not to do it badly. I don't buy that there's incredible risk that even if it's done well we'll lose all these players for whom graphics is an important consideration but who also at the same time don't bother to check how a game looks before downloading gigabytes of it and signing up to play it.
CO looks fine for an old game and if more people knew how it rivals the customization available even in new games then I think more of them would play it.

I'm bringing up a concern, not making a declaration of fact. Never claimed otherwise. We are just discussing this after all, not determining if it will actually be implemented.

I wonder how hard it would be to do 'twitch makes costumes' with CO.
