Superheroes in Drag

[shankie]

This collection is a work in progress. Any additions, suggestions, or clarifications to this list are greatly appreciated.

This page is being limited to DC; my few Marvel scans have been removed in the interests of space, to be part of a later collection.


Al Jhor Dan (an Elseworlds Hal Jordan), from 1001 Emerald Nights




The Flash (and Martian Manhunter, kinda) from Justice League Adventures #17














Plastic Man, from JLA: Black Baptism




Plastic Man, from The Dark Knight Strikes Again




The Martian Manhunter, from Justice League Task Force #8




Batman, from Batman #266






Robin I, from Batman & Robin comic strips, 1946
(More at the Transgender Graphics & Fiction Archive)






Robin I, from Batman: Sunday Classics, 1943-1946






Robin I, from Batgirl: Year One






Robin III, from Batman #626










Impulse, from Impulse #5, "Lightning Strikes"




Impulse, from Young Justice No Man's Land Special #1: Road Trip






Superboy & Daily Planet staff, from Superboy #93, "Die Hard Laughing"
(Jimmy Olsen is the one complaining about the colour of the dress.)




Max Mercury, from Impulse #17






Captain Marvel, from Captain Marvel Adventures
(Issue number/year unknown. As pointed out by lodo_bear, this isn't Hitler, but he is a Nazi.






Honourable Mentions

The Riddler, from Catwoman: When In Rome



Not a superhero; he's a villain. But he looks cute in the catsuit, so we'll overlook it.


Jimmy Olsen, from All-Star Superman #4... and more.



While not a superhero, Jimmy is a big DC character that has been in drag more times than the rest of the DCU combined. This page from the Transgender Graphics and Fiction Archive has a comprehensive visual history of Jimmy in a skirt.


Catwoman and the Martian Manhunter, from JLA: The Nail (Elseworlds)








The Martian Manhunter, from JLA #27, "The Bigger They Come"





While it's not as often as a male persona, specifically John Jones, J'onn does morph into women; I felt this was more of in the area of honorable mentions as opposed to actual gender change because he doesn't always shift his brain into a woman's, and this being J'onn, it's all about the brain.

I'll simply note that Selina does not deny the allure of trying on the Riddler outfit...

True. Very, very true. ::laughs::

[wachey.livejournal.com]

Wow...just...wow. I'm going to save this in my memories. That way, if I'm ever sad, I can look to this and be happy :)

Gotta wonder though, in the panel that has Superboy with a bra on his head, whose the redhead?

[victoria-wayne.livejournal.com]

Must be Jimmy. He never misses an opportunity to put a bra on.

Man, every time I see that first one I can't help but think what great legs Wally has.

And I've actually read the one where Tim cross dresses as a female med student! Love Alfred. Hee.

Thanks for posting these.

[victoria-wayne.livejournal.com]

Doesn't he just, though? ::grin::

I'm all too happy to oblige. :D

<3

I hate to say it, but I have the hots for Jimmy now.
*RAWR*

[victoria-wayne.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I kinda sometimes do too, especially after reading that issue of All-Star Superman for the first time...

[bobcat2022.livejournal.com]

It's weird that there isn't more of this kind of thing in comics.

The Superboy panel was from the Last Laugh tie-in issue of the Superboy series... somewhere around issue 90, I think.

For having this page, you win the internet (it's a massive multi-way tie).

[victoria-wayne.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! ::wins::

I think you're right about that being from Superboy, now I'll have to go track it down...

[lodo-bear.livejournal.com]

Actually, that's not Hitler. That's Reltih (http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/1546077.html).

[stubbleupdate.livejournal.com]

Big enough that you'd get preferential treatment, but not so big that you'd be remembered.

Alfred, we love you.

[yaoiloverrichan.livejournal.com]

XD *dies laughing* Poor Wally and Tim.

Okay...(and please note I've written a scene where Wally was dressed as Batgirl)...this was....

I'm traumatized.

Utterly.

Mostly because other than the high-heel thing....I could swear Wally is ENJOYING THIS!

Now totally understand where you get your fics from. These professional peeps are as insane as Plasticman. It's know wonder the Youth of the Western World turned out the way they did.

And the worse thing is...I wish I looked half as good as a woman as Wally the man looks as a woman. So unfair. XD
