For a game that's is praised for its unmatched character customisation, diversity is currently lacking. Extremely, actually. There are next to zero representation when it comes to Black, and Asian people, and the game in its current state is very white washed.
So, here are a few Black ethnic hairstyles I'd like to suggest as being added to the game.
Rifle with bayonet would be a possibly useful costume/weapon, though making it, so you can use any rifle costume with a bayonet would probably be impractical.
I actually want this also as power, similar to the sniper, a Single-shot weapon rifle, shoot, reload, shoot animation. Or like the shotgun but single target and all. Also, when more single pistol attacks finally. DX
Overall costume wise I would like to see more fitting accessories for beast heads and helmets, hats and googles fitting for them, Insect heads still miss the fitting tech googles for Females as example.
So beast heads with Googles?
The combination of a rifle melee, broad thrust, stock hit and bayonette follow through could be a possibility like defense combo that gives a certain amount of defense while using like it was designed to in real combat, aside from the normal melee thrust which would be a burst piercing melee. the actual shot could be a burst attack too to revamp sniper shot, but instead of it being a slow interruptible charge, it could require a reload like on vehicles loads. Not giving a time advantage but rather making it easier to shoot but the reload would take the time itself. This could be used for both musket era, old west and if you choose asshault rifle in its place, it could be WW2 and Vietnam era too. All with the option to holster it over shoulder or aimed using the show weapon devices.
For actual sniper rifles, we in all honesty should be able to stand on the hill above dino and be taking shots from a safe distance like snipers do....but I know that will never happen. But none the less, the soldier style and weapon ideas Im behind too (another name to the list) The thought of seeing a skrimishline of soldier toons lined up and firing together is very cool imo!
Courage is doing what is right even when it isn't popular or safe. Honor is retaining the dignity and virtue in one's self, so it can light the way for others in the darkest of times. Compassion is showing patience and mercy towards others, even when it isn't returned or deserved. A hero is defined by these 3 words, they set him apart from others as a beacon of hope and excellence.
More eye and face options would be great, from anime, cartoony to comic style to semi realistic including two different colored eyes. The feline ones need a variant too.
Some of my toons have an anime theme, plus I've seen many others do as well, I'm sure this would be a welcome addition to our face options. As would some more stance/pose options especially if they are animated.

As a very passionate person of color playing Champions Online in 2021, I can speak for everyone when I say that the options for Ethnic representation in hair options is very minimal and horrifying. Having experience with modelling, I know first hand how difficult it can be to make detailed hairs, however, it has been done by many many many other games, including Star Trek Online which is owned by the same company. With new games like City of Titans around the corner, it is extremely important that ethnically diverse hairs are implemented ASAP. Here are some options that might be a lot more doable considering what we have seen and the demand.
Putting time and effort into these hairstyles should be treated as an opportunity to allow players of color to feel involved and included in this game as valid partakers, rather than statistics. Being that it's currently Black History Month and there are close to no exceptional quality hairs in comparison to the plethora of type 1 and 2 hairstyles that have been given to us, this should turn heads and be viewed as a star suggestion, as players of all identities have been asking for this since the beginning of the game. As the longest standing superhero mmorpg, I'd hope inclusion is a worthy principle. Thank you for your time .
I have a couple toons Im trying to get to a certain bit of detail, and would like to see added to the game.
Zak Corbet is an original character of mine, I'm trying to recreate in the game to play. Can we get more options to decorate our sleeves and jackets please?
He has some patches and even a checker band design around one arm. ATM the only real option is the metals bars. There needs to be more shoulder options for officer ranks too.
Pilot jackets usually have lots of patches on them.
Another thing for my cavalry toon, is he needs stripes for rank

Hmmm can't seem to find a good example. But the game currently has tights and a mask option that you can choose one of several pre-loaded logos for. The request is to add an option to have those logos on the back side of gloves. Also the forehead logo option actually puts the logo more on the top of the head than the forehead. this doesn't work well with most hairstyles.
Well for a dress up game I'm having a hard time putting together some dresses for causal.
Game needs more skirts, dresses and female top variety (PLEASE! no more long sleeves!!!!!!!!)
I'm having much trouble crafting fluid dress because most tops don't flow off to skirts and older tops are way too flat lacking much detail (its like a layer of skin or something). There is also no extra patterns for these tops like flowers or plaid or something.
What I have in mind is basically a guide to skirt and dress creation if so.
Would be best if skirt part starts on waist indent (red line)
A halo made of a metal strucure with glowing spots
A halo made of water/liquid
Also maybe a wider larger halo (or an option to make em bigger/wider)
And i dont know if this is possible with the game engine. Making the halos rotate slowly in place.
(maybe having a rotating and a non rotating version?)
Also, other unrelated costume parts ideas:
Now that certain performers have separated, maybe some inspired homage helmets?
more robot stuff, with big shoulders
A sleeker and longer snake-head kinda folded like the worm head so it can fit in huge helmets and such.
I am not sure if there is a piece like this in game, downwards pointing dog ears
I'm kind of that we don't have any aquatic webbed gloves in game. Webbed hands, yes, but no gloves. Also, it would be nice to have some better, aesthetically pleasing flipper feet in game that are not as huge as what vwe already have and are more superhero-ish.
A new trident skin would also be fantastic, we have been stuck with that one model for years. It's a shame this recent emphasis on Lemurian stuff or the Aquatic lock-box didn't address these....
So I came back here to cry again because it is all I can really do. Looking at heavy weapons and it has nothing that is worth the price. and even with the recent skull axe we are in a lackage of heavy weapon. Most of my Heavy weapon toons still using default weapon and its just sad.
Heavy Weapons
Not-ordinary axes and hammers
ruby axe
celtic axe
heavy polearm
Double edged blades
Big shuriken
Heavy Waist/Belt Armor- again another lackage in game. I'm stuck reusing brutal belt and dragon belt. And by the time I get nemesis I'd be an old man. There is no variety.
Samurai- same thing applies for samurai particularly for the lower half, the skirt?. There seem to be a lot of armored/ studded skirt type in these.
Wooden Realistic Shields
This Beast of an armor/ Wings with Cape/ Heavy sword With torn cape
Hopefully the devs don't think this belt is too much of a "waist of time" ^^
I'd like to give my healer a steampunk variant costume
^this but... <- this long with the fold over, white to match the spats
Healing drone costume (uses costume for both heal/attack forms, just changes color of lights to show which is being used)

I'm always for new tights being added and these are fab. Those gloves and boots are really nice too. Not everything needs to be fancy and overly busy. Sometimes we just want simple, solid, well made pieces...
I have an idea for a game addition and costumes to go with it. A device or power that allows you to turn into a ground vehicle, using the basic ground running or untiered super running power when boosted like nitro. Working lights and horn, even sirens/flashing lights power for police cars. Tanks can fire mock canon or laser blasts like swtor has for their vehicles.
There are a lot of car, truck, tumblers, tanks, etc in the game...they can be sold on top of it as costume packs. ANd we can cycl through them like we do for heal drone costume unlocks.

Eagle Head Shoulder Pauldron
*Needs to be over done
*Could have wings sticking out from it
*Must have shoulder cape extension like that of Roinesh
*For patriotic heroes, example: Homelander, Dredd
Qipao/Cheongsam/Tabard
*See this used in Asian style characters or midevil
*Neck, chest wear, clothing
*Would be good if we are able to put armor over or under it
*Could have a few designs, flowers, cards
*Example: Raven, Chun Li
The Billionaire Costume Set
Red carpet clothing crafted entirely out of Gold Zen or Silver Questionite. I made this character look back when the sliver age costume contest was a thing but I never made it to. She is from the 50s and is immortalized buy freak beauty products. On review I find that we have glitter suit from anniversary buy not in dress.
i just leave this here, more suggestion like more cartoonish animal outfits, neckbelts/neck scarfs, and maybe head wear that won't clip with the current animal heads, and more cartoonish boot/shoe options,big fluffy ears ect
Since all the images of the cave people post someone made broke and I was really looking forward to it. I will post my take on what I want from cave heros.
Cave type, Giantess, Beastial, Hunter Type Superheroes. I think these categories deserve more than just leapord and tiger tights. Barbarian fur costume is good but doesn't fullfil and can only be use so many times.
These costume focus on animal patterns. Classic Club (could be a bit girthier.
I chose mixing of patterns. This will help blend the new clothes with ones we already have like dryad. It will also mix very well with fur pieces.
This image for the top shows the cut out and over lap for cloth around the cleavage area
I feel this design will go good with orc and troll type characters. Where they wear more loosely fitted wrap clothing.
Would love to see an elephant head added into possible animal heads. The trunk could use the same skeleton rules as the medusa hair snakes if this is possible.
This next one is a two part request. First part is, I would love to see a chest option that gives an off the shoulder look as in the picture below (the first pic with the purple outfit), part two is, I would like to see costume pieces devoted to India inspired clothing. The Peru set is nice, but India clothing has a very special look. I added some image options for reference.
How about have a Zweihänder sword as a costume option of the Heavy Weapons. I would like to have the ability to give my characters a ridged cranium. How about giving us longer facial tentacles. I would like to have a third eye that blinks along with the rest of the eyes. Hands that have three finger and a thumb and feet with four toes would be nice to have as costume pieces. Lemurian spikes that curve downing instead curving upwards would a very nice addition as a costume piece.
How about a costume based on the Musketeers
Gripe... Dryad texures are just so 2005. Please updated Dryad costume to have patches option. It's just too plain. I'd totally buy Midnight Jester if it's done. Why must I suffer these old scape textures.
The game has some really old and limited tattoos that people have overused at this point. I don't think these example pics are needed since it's really the designers choice with whatever is easiest to translate in game. We have eastern, egyptian and a few modern tattoos. It's lacking, know what else is lacking? Viking stuff! Since there's so few tat options, I'm sure it'll be a popular pickup.
I'm not 100% sure that this doesn't already exist in game, but I haven't seen full or partial masks with the ears uncovered. It would be a nice alternative and it might even be good for those heroes that have sensitive ears.
(Apologies if there are masks like this that I just haven't personally seen yet.)
Now that we have all the pouches in the world, let’s switch it up a little with DISCS!
* Note: Use the “Golden Age” Belt (existing in-game model) as a guideline for proportions and placement. As for their shape, the ones from “Discs” (existing in-game Belt) are a good reference, just slightly more oval, perhaps.
^ Mockup with the “Golden Age” belt (existing in-game model).
... and let all the Catwoman and Black Widow clones be happy! xD
I haven't made any request posts in a long time (at least a year), time for a new follow up! I've been seeing some requests for more robotic/mechas, so time for me to update my own suggestion; mecha costume ideas! The following images all originally come from M.S.G. or Modelling Support Goods, from the Kotobukiya M.S.G. sets. Again, just example images (like everyone puts), but I hope the devs see the amount of detail and realize this is VERY possible!
Linked will be images showing a basic 'skeleton' which can give ideas for core body types, for the body, lower body, arms, legs, head, etc. And of course, all the different actual armor parts, and possibly weapon ideas!
As with my past/previous requests, I hope the devs consider these. I'm a BIG mecha enthusiast, so I'm always up for more mecha/robotic stuff to be put into Champions!
More mech pieces would be nice. Both sleek and bulky varieties. Mechanical legs to fit the digitigrade shape of the Beasts & Monsters legs would be a great addition too.

So, here are a few Black ethnic hairstyles I'd like to suggest as being added to the game.
So beast heads with Googles?

Fishnet on reptile! Gimme fishnet on reptile!
More wired-hair for robots
Sleek robot body parts
More Armored robot parts
Other robots with oddly-shaped parts
And more robot Arms options

Zak Corbet is an original character of mine, I'm trying to recreate in the game to play. Can we get more options to decorate our sleeves and jackets please?
Zak Ingame
Zak reference
He has some patches and even a checker band design around one arm. ATM the only real option is the metals bars. There needs to be more shoulder options for officer ranks too.
Pilot jackets usually have lots of patches on them.
Another thing for my cavalry toon, is he needs stripes for rank
The look needs the matching hat too.

Body parts that ressamble the elements
Huge guns with barrels
Monster heads with Large creepy mouths
Chess themed helmets
A Large mechanical hand/bracer that works similar to those forum Malvanum gladiators Mace/Sword bracers
It would be like a large static hand
Other stuff
A helmet like this
some Winter-tech garb
Imagine celebrating 11 years of existance and not having tentacle hair
Another option that puts the logo on the actual forehead would be nice.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
My characters
Game needs more skirts, dresses and female top variety (PLEASE! no more long sleeves!!!!!!!!)
I'm having much trouble crafting fluid dress because most tops don't flow off to skirts and older tops are way too flat lacking much detail (its like a layer of skin or something). There is also no extra patterns for these tops like flowers or plaid or something.
What I have in mind is basically a guide to skirt and dress creation if so.
Would be best if skirt part starts on waist indent (red line)
A double/crossed Halo
A halo made of debris or shards
A halo made of several tiny skulls
A halo made of a metal strucure with glowing spots
A halo made of water/liquid
Also maybe a wider larger halo (or an option to make em bigger/wider)
And i dont know if this is possible with the game engine. Making the halos rotate slowly in place.

Click here to check out my costumes/milleniumguardian (MG) in-game/We need more tights, stances and moods
Ring weapon skins for night avenger and melee blades. Maybe small and large versions. You cannot say it is not a superhero thing!
Royal katars- these are to be done in the shape of Clubs, spades, diamonds and hearts. Would be nice if it had some fancy engraved textures.
Multiple faces heads or masks. Jack fool faction.
Maybe we could put some crowns on our fists and punch people with the sharp edges. Both king and queen versions.
Heavy Weapons
Not-ordinary axes and hammers
ruby axe
celtic axe
heavy polearm
Double edged blades
Big shuriken
Heavy Waist/Belt Armor- again another lackage in game. I'm stuck reusing brutal belt and dragon belt. And by the time I get nemesis I'd be an old man. There is no variety.

example:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
My characters
the basics: MISMATCHED STOCKINGS! like a mix of harajuku/fishnet!
short sleeve shirts! and a skin-tights pattern with horizontal stripes! please!

I cwose my eyes and seize it! UwU
I cwench my fist and beat it! OwO
I wight my towch and buwn it! ☆w☆

Chef costumes with one hundred percent Aprons to be added to it if possible!
Cave type, Giantess, Beastial, Hunter Type Superheroes. I think these categories deserve more than just leapord and tiger tights. Barbarian fur costume is good but doesn't fullfil and can only be use so many times.

I feel this design will go good with orc and troll type characters. Where they wear more loosely fitted wrap clothing.
(Miami cyberpunk beach vybz or cool nerd genuis)
Umbrella hat (don't make it to wide) Sheer material for transparency
Visor Hat with plastic
This next one is a two part request. First part is, I would love to see a chest option that gives an off the shoulder look as in the picture below (the first pic with the purple outfit), part two is, I would like to see costume pieces devoted to India inspired clothing. The Peru set is nice, but India clothing has a very special look. I added some image options for reference.
Quality naval, police and aviation hats? Really need the emblems in the front
Old school military back radio
Machine gun strap front, is this even feasible to CO?
Binoculars on helm top accessory
Cold soldier jacket
Flask and or lantern belt accessories and other military junk to add to combat vests
Flag pole as weapon? Flag Spear? I imagine charging the ememy to plant a flag in their chest
Like in pictures;
Small cyber punk back and neck pieces. I think its the base of a egg shaped bubble helm
Semi-armored high boots
Double kitana leg accessory
I want to suggest hip rocket/jetpack leg accessory but pictures of it doesn't exist
Binoculars Neck strap in the place of this camera
A Large Robot Hand and Turbine like Bracer
Also couple more Big Mehcanical Beast heads and other Big robot accessories
A grim looking skeletical robot arm
More Outlandish Mechanical arms, shoulderpads, backpacks, waist/leg accessories, legs, etc
BIGGER Mecha is BETTER Mecha
Small Headress (use bird skill instead of the humanoid one)
Native Headdress
Burnt half face and chest
(If this has been suggested in this thread already simply remove it. Ty.)
How about a costume based on the Musketeers
Prominent wing back emble. The idea is that the tattoo animate into real wings.
Speedsters would appreciate:
...Some really nice kicks.
These type of sneakers are not in game. Basically the type athletes use for running.
Gripe... Dryad texures are just so 2005. Please updated Dryad costume to have patches option. It's just too plain. I'd totally buy Midnight Jester if it's done. Why must I suffer these old scape textures.
