        Doesn’t have to be a GOOD wig. You can get a number of shitty ones at costume shops that, from a distance, should do well.

                Wonder wig sounds like a super hero that got their powers from a special combination of radiation and chemo treatments. A cancer survivor who uses their powers to save others after learning the value of life.

                  ^ I like that origin and sort of quest in life. Wig/Anthony was born bald until a magical wig leaped out at him at an antique shop owned by a fortune teller.

            It’s okay if they know it’s not your real hair, as long as they don’t know what your real hair looks like. Everyone knows Batman doesn’t really have pointy bat ears, but they still keep people from knowing his true hair color/style.

        She doesn’t have to be rich. After all, Barbara Gordon could afford one on the 60’s TV show. Then again, she somehow managed to make part of her apartment wall rotate around to hide her costume.

      See, and this is why she shouldn’t even bother to try to disguise her voice/hair more. With Danny’s level of clueless, it’s not needed. If anything, it’s MORE likely to attract his attention the more you try.

    I just realized something. If this Amazi-Girl’s color scheme is reversed then maybe she isn’t immune to criticism like her Shortpacked doppleganger. Not that Danny is criticizing her on purpose, but his attention to detail certainly has her off guard.

    Amazi-girl, this guy likes you for *being* you. Not for being a superhero, not for having a raspy voice, and not for wearing a cos- um, not for hanging out on roof tops. You can just come down and talk to him. Just don’t reveal your identity because you will scare him off if you don’t seem unattainable.

      Unfortunately the mind trick only works if the target has a mind with little or no defenses. This one is strong with its high super high density that even reality and self preservation sense have little effect.

        Plan 9 From Outer Space

        Ed Wood used a mixture of footage recorded of Bela Lugosi shortly before his death and new footage of his wife’s chiropractor dressed in the same outfit, but covering his face so no one would be able to tell that it wasn’t the same actor.

        Its a reference to Plan 9 From Outer Space. Bela Lugosi died before finishing his scenes so Ed Wood got his wife’s chiropractor to stand in by holding his cape in front of his face.
