New costume temp power for next Halloween

[TheMoneyMaker]

I was thinking, because I hate having to use the temp power costumes for things like getting the full benefit out of the haunted house or, I think also you need to be wearing a costume while knocking on doors to get the Halloween tip mission to drop...

 

What about a temp power "costume" that says "It's YOUR costume!" and you are effectively dressed up as yourself while the temp is activated.  It doesn't change your appearance at all, it has no effect whatsoever beyond counting as wearing a Halloween costume while still maintaining the player's own unique look.

 

Comic books have had a number of occasions over the years where the hero's secret identity ended up going to a costume party dressed as their heroic identity, so there is a comics precedent for it. And it would be one more random drop in a bunch of costumes already, so it's not likely to be abuseable in any way, and it's not something that would be specifically required for anything else, so no one would be forced to use it or feel like they're missing out if they don't get it.

Or maybe just a temp power that gives your character a Groucho Marx glasses & nose, or something.  I don't think I can get behind a "I'm going as myself" costume.  Maybe a torso/chest piece that is a simple t-shirt that says "I'm just here for the boos" or some other cliche phrase...

I would love one where it just adds glasses/moustache to your character XD

Loving the Groucho glasses idea.   I'd be happy with a red ball clown nose, too.   It could double-duty on Red Nose Day.
