Hello, Jadestar..um, yes, very nice! The costume fits very well. Thank you for sharing!

*grins* Why, thank you. Superhero outfits are supposed to be form-fitting, after all.

Aaaaa this is so cool! Macro superheroes are criminally underused, bordering on supervillainy.

*laughs* It's worse in online games, where macro stuff is either not available at all or at least not usable in combat, even if in DCUO there are a few missions where Giganta gets to wander around as an NPC. (I mean, I can understand why, sadly, it would be a mess to program combat between individuals of different scales.

But yeah, giant superheroes aren't common even in the comics. (Though FemForce ran with having a couple of them.) Especially not on the hero side, which may be due to the likelihood of property damage. Jadestar at least can mess with her apparent mass to some extent, meaning not only can she fly, she can walk around even at giant size without crushing things easily.

There are a decent number:

- Elasti-Girl
- Colossal Boy
- Stature/Cassandra Lang
- Wasp
- Mount Lady
- Atlas
- Black Goliath
- Ultrawoman Grigio
- Ultrawoman Beth
- Ultrawoman Yullian
- Diane (Seven Deadly Sins)
- Klang Klan (Macross Frontiers)

There's more out there, I'm sure.

Apache Chief of the Superfriends/Longshadow in JLU
Garganta and Tara from FEMForce
Heck, Shrinking Violet in one iteration of the LSH got growth powers as LeViathan after taking out the Emerald Empress.

And I always thought it was a lost opportunity that the meteor which gave Colossal Boy/Gim Allon his powers didn't also affect his girlfriend who was on vacation with him at the time, Gigi Cusimano, just because 'Gigi' being 'Giant Girl' was so obvious. And it's not like the LSH really had secret identities anyway.

And sure, there are a decent number, they just rarely seem to get the... 'big' roles, as it were. A lot of which probably comes down to lack of ideas on the part of the writers. There are a lot more possible plot opportunities for shrinking and sneaking into things than there are for growth.

And I was thinking more of Western superhero comics, which lets out the bottom half of your list. Though I'd let Mount Lady stay since My Hero Acadamia is very obviously a 'superhero' story in the same sort of vein.

Or perhaps I should say lack of unique plot opportunities. Aside from 'fighting kaiju', a lot of the possible plots for giant characters could be taken on by anybody just massively strong and tough.

You're dead on with it being a lack of ideas imo. Giganta spent decades as a jobber only showing up for three-four panels looking all big and scary, only for Superman or Wonder Woman to lay her down with a single punch. Then Gail Simone came around and these days, she gets to be an actual character! I've enjoyed seeing her go from your bog-standard smashy-stompy giant into a kind of mercenary, punchclock professional one!

Perhaps some day we'll get a biggo superhero who really shakes things up, but I don't feel like we've really hit that point just yet. 😔

The scary part is that Femforce may be the closest thing to that, for all that it's both a fairly independent book and the pretty blatantly 50s pin-up art style for a lot of it. Two giantess size-shifting characters, one being the scientist who created the formula in the first place and the other having started as basically a 'jungle girl' archetype, and the team has long since integrated that into their tactics.

(Tara, the jungle girl, ended up getting slipped a diluted version of Garganta's original growth formula in a drink as part of a demonstration: the company that had been imvolved with some of the research was also trying to get a government contract on superhero clothing, and figured if they could demonstrate their material was stretchy enough to survive someone going giant while wearing it, they'd have a lock on the contract. So they spiked her drink.)

Oh, I think I've seen those very panels! They'd float around a fair bit in the, uh, "size-interested" corners of the internet a while back.
Maybe I'll check it out at some point!

I'm a little disappointed nobody mentioned American Kaiju. ^._.^

And potential second place might go to Giganto (not a hero, just a big stompy whale monster Namor yoists along now and then).

Heck, back when Mangazine from Antarctic Press had Ninja High School running in it, and NHS was doing 'younger generation' stories with Jeremy's little brother Ricky, there was an arc in which one of the skunk-like aliens from Asrial's homeworld ended up stuck at giant size temporarily for some reason I don't recall.

It was a running gag for a while that almost every Saturday morning cartoon had at least one giant/shrinking episode.

that's a good one...

Ransom has a good eye for perspective.

Everyone else before me has said what has come to mind :)

Carry on, thy wayfair sun...

*snickers* Cute.

Hooray! Miss Feuer... I mean... Jadestar's saved the day! ^__^

The thieves won't be getting away in that car anytime soon.
