I've already talked about how I have a lot of issues with Momos' quirk but todays rant is about her hero costume (which I talked a little bit about in the first rant which wasn't actually labeled a rant)!
As we all know, Momo has one of the worst hero costumes, both in functionality and in appearance. I wanna start with appearance since it will be the shorter of the two topics :)
Her hero costume is ugly. Plain and simple as that statement is, its true. The belt is by far my least favorite part. It has no functionality and just looks clunky and gross in contrast to the body suit. The colors of her hero costume bug me as well but not as much as a lot of the other ones. I really like the design she has on the body suit portion but that's about the only thing positive about the way it looks.
Onto functionality!!
I've discussed how I think Momos' quirk actually works-which would open up a whole world of costumes for her-but this section will be sticking with the canon explanation. For starters, the fact that she is missing the entire middle section is dangerous for so many reasons. So many important organs are exposed like that and it leaves her vulnerable.
The self on the back of her belt serves no purpose?? its supposed to be their to hold a book that contains the chemical composition of things but how is the book going to stay on the shelf when there is no way to hold it in place?? She has no pockets??? for what?? It would make so much sense if she had pockets to store snacks to help with her quirk but she just doesn't?? AND WHY DOES SHE HAVE HEELS?? WHAT IS WITH ALL THE GIRLS HAVING HEELS?? IS STEALTH NOT IMPORTANT TO HEROICS??
An extra section: The changes that I would make because I think about this a lot.
For starters, I would change the fabric all together. There is a fabric out there (that I sadly forgot the name of) that is a tightly knit mesh. When something punctures it, it makes space for that object and then when the object it removed it closes the space. This is the fabric I would make her hero costume out of because she could just make things and the fabric would create the space for her to produce it.
I would give her pockets!! As I mentioned before its ridiculous that she doesn't have pockets. I think she deserves them :)
If she really wanted a hole in her hero costume I would move it to her back. There is more space there and she wouldn't have to wear something so revealing.
GET RID OF THE SWIMSUIT-ESK BODYSUIT AND GIVE HER SOME SHORTS!! Plus revamp her belt and give that pockets as well as making it less clunky. Plus she could probably fit a much smaller version of that big ass book in one of the pouches a belt would bring.
Aaaaaand finally! I'd remove the dumb heels on her boots.
TLDR: Momo has such a bad hero costume and there are tones of improvements that could be made.
