Thanks to the upcoming CBS-TV Supergirl series, I’ve been doing a little bit of research into the various suits that the Maid Of Might has worn in her more-than-50-year history. Some were good, some were almost supernaturally bad, but most featured some sort of skirt, a prospect that seems daunting for a flying hero. Odds are, Kara’s skirt was a nod to the one worn by Mary Marvel a dozen years earlier (though Mary’s was noticeably longer) and has become iconic enough that the 2011 Supergirl costume redesign was criticized for lacking a skirt (among other larger issues), leading to today’s a-line query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) sometimes kind of likes the silhouette of a super-dress, but also sees the obvious logistical issues, asking: Superheroes flying in a skirt – Yes or Heck No?

Being the naughty person I am, I say yes.
You should have seen a few of my CoX characters I made and how I tinted their undergarments a different color from the main costume colors just so they would be more noticeable.
I know, I know, I’m terrible.
We want links.
Terrible, terrible links.
The sad thing is, if I ever find the CD I had screenshots saved on, I could actually provide them.
Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending how you look at it), these were just a few alts I made for the heck of it. MOST of my characters were more modest or at least less skimpy, but I couldn’t resist making a few characters like stereotypical naughty schoolgirls, catgirls and other stuff just for fun.
I say yes. Strange that I’ve never thought it before, but I guess its not a problem to me.
Flying? Yes.
Hovering dramatically? Heck no.
I mean, it’s not like she can’t fly at superspeed or anything..
