Titanium isn't actually that strong. Like, yeah it's about equal to steel, but the draw is that it has that strength in a much lighter package. It's not irl adamantium or anything.

Steel is strong, but its a common every day metal, not some magical sci-fi 'does anything' material.
Titanium is just steel that's really lightweight.

It's just funny that it gets used in fiction as a super metal.

But yea, Hawkman and hawkgirl always had giant fuckoff maces that look like something out of Diablo or WoW. That looks, like a normal mace. You're already flying around with wings, you can have a giant cartoony mace.

No but you know that there's going to be a joke where a mugger is robbing someone, and she appears and says "I wouldn't do that if I were you!" and the mugger says "Awww is the lil' girl gonna hit me with some mace?" and then she pulls out her actual mace and hits him.

It kind of bridges the gap between the generic SHIELD suits and what Widow wore in at least Iron Man 2.

Without what context? Like, context of the characters in the show or context of who Quake is?

Why does that matter though? She's not some new Marvel superhero starring in her own movie. She's just an agent in a spy organization who happens to have powers. Of course she's not going to have some bright, colorful costume with a big Q on it.

I'm shocked that you would be unable to tell who a character is without any context or knowledge of the show that the character is a part of.

I suppose so. I don't really think that Quake has ever had super distinct or personalized costume though. Pretty much just SHIELD agent uniform with cool gloves on it.

Who could this character be. Why is she wearing generic shield female outfit #15

That AoS outfit is probably the most comics accurate outfit in the MCU

Looks like just Secret War, EMH cartoon and Ultimate are anything that's not just a SHIELD uniform variation. And even those have a black bodysuit base.

Actually that costume is nearly completely different despite how similar it looks.

The comic version is like a hoodie, track pants and white sneakers.

I forgot he was jailed. I wonder what he did to finally piss of the forum mods. Maybe the goons creating costume threads finally send him into a melt down.

And yea, she is primarily seen in a black body suit with the gloves, and variations on that. loving nerds complaining about poo poo that isn't a problem.
