Cheetah, Poison Ivy (Injustice 2)

Finally Netherrealm realizes every good fighting game needs hot ladies.

Truth be told, I've never been much of a fan for Netherrealm's games. It seems they don't have a sense for showing off fan service or sex appeal as much as they do showing off gore or sausage fests. In fact, it's pretty much a given that female characters in NR games like the Mortal Kombat series are mannish and rather unattractive. Well, thankfully some sense seems to finally be making its way into these devs, as lately they've been fixing their female characters to look GOOD. Not great yet, mind you, but at least they look good.

Yesterday, they released this sexy 'Here come the ladies' trailer for Valentine's Day, showcasing a femme fatale foursome of DC not-damsels. The fighters include the aforementioned Poison Ivy, Catwoman (who was in the previous Injustice), Black Canary (who had her own trailer) and, surprisingly, The Cheetah.

Now, coming into this I had high hopes for Dr. Pamela Isley, AKA Poison Ivy. She has often been portrayed in the past as a barefoot Nature Goddess, dressed quite skimpily in leaves and going down-to-earth with no footwear. Unfortunately, the NR devs have gone with the more vampy version, having a more manufactured costume and boots with heels. Bummer!

But as if to balance out this disappointment, lo and behold we get a sexy, savage barefoot babe in the form of the feral Cheetah. Thankfully, they held back on making her too much of a furry, and her hand and feet are perfectly human except for the slightly sharper nails. The outfit is a skimpy, jungle girl look and I have to say I am digging her acrobatic moves and animations. I'm a footfan, not a furry fan, but Cheetah is definitely hot, from head to toe to voice. She's certainly enough reason for me to look forward to this superhero brawler.

Now, I'm not giving up entirely on Poison Ivy- I am still hoping that there will be alternate outfits to give her the barefoot, au natural look footfans know and love. And perhaps there will be other barefoot babes to come in the future for this fighting game? We'll wait and see. For now though, color me hopeful for this game's release in May.

Miss Midnight: Getting My Feet Wet in Gotham (DC Universe Online, PS3)

Crushing Brainiac can wait… for now, Gotham is in Miss Midnight’s sights.

The adventures of my own original barefoot femme fatale supervillainess continues! When we last left the lovely and lethal Miss Midnight, she had just escaped from Brainiac’s starship and found a nice lace to cool her heels in the criminal underworld safe house known as The Tap Room. But of course, hanging around doing nothing save make some foot-loving thugs’ mouths water as she teases them with her perfect feet is pretty boring for Mistress M., so in a flash she was padding off on a mission of mayhem for The Joker in Gotham City.


Watch Miss Midnight grind Gotham's Finest under her heel (lucky bastards).

So what does this goth enchantress and gun-kata genius do to get started in the big, wide world of the DCU? Well, destroying public property, beating up pesky law enforcers, freeing captured mobsters and then bribing rookie cops, that’s what! It doesn’t take long for Midnight to rack up a pretty high body count, as well as acquire for the Falcone Mob their own private unit inside the Gotham Police Force (who also moonlight as her own personal footstools).

Heck, don’t take my word for it- watch our leather-clad assassin babe run, leap, shoot and kick her way through her second outing in DCU Online yourself. Enjoy!


Gotham City is now the new stomping grounds for The Barefoot Assassin.

Hah! Gotham City’s a cakewalk (Mmm... icing all over Miss Midnight's toes..) so far, but Miss Midnight is getting a bit big for her non-existent boots. It’s only a matter of time before some heroes show up to make things a bit hot. What’s gonna happen next in the Midnight Trail?

TO BE CONTINUED!

Unleashing Miss Midnight: Barefoot Super Villainess! (DC Universe Online)

Meet Anita Carver AKA Miss Midnight, my barefoot super-vixen in DCU Online!

I'm having quite a lot of fun with in DC Universe Online, the superhero-themed MMORPG. I've already introduced you all to my first avatar in this interactive comic book world, the lovely and fiery Hot Chick. Well, goaded by a viewer's suggestion, I went on and created my second character for DCUO. This new barefoot babe however is about as different from my Flaming Super-Spiker as Night is from Day. Whereas Hot Chick is lively, vivacious, a fighter for justice and almost as scantily-clad as a bikini model, my new goddess is a creature of the night. A darkly enchanting Goth beauty, at home in the shadows, cloaked in smooth, black leather. Her heart is cold and deathly still, yet her eyes gleam with malevolent fury. She's a psychic superninja, a deadly mistress of gun-kata and a peerless hunter in the darkness. Her name is Miss Midnight!


Creating a hot, barefoot Goth superninja and gun-kata warrior was never this easy!

A former special operative attached to Checkmate, a world-spanning secret organization, Anita Carver was at the top of her game, rivaling the skills of even the renowned Sasha Bordeaux. Indeed, it took literally an entire army to finally bring her down... almost. On the verge of death from blood loss, Anita was suddenly yanked back to the world of the living by the powers showered down throughout the Earth by the Future Lex Luthor. When she awoke, her senses were razor-keen, in fact, she could sense the heartbeat of individual creatures from the ground, through the soles of her feet. Her skin was pale as moonlight, her body now a semi-living weapon of total mayhem. Rising from Brainiac's prison, Anita- now calling herself Miss Midnight- decided to be a merciless weapon dealing out death to all she deems unfit to live! Heroes and villains alike, beware!


Lovely, lovely views are guaranteed when playing with a hot, barefoot supervillainess.

I have to admit, I am having a LOT of fun with Miss Midnight. For starters, she's amazingly hot. There's just something incredibly cool and sexy about the long black leather trenchcoat... perhaps it's the way it teasingly waves about, letting Midnight's pale, smooth calves and ankles peek through as she walks- no, glides- about. And man, does she have a sexy walk. Like a dark, more bad-ass version of Lara Croft (it must be the dual pistols). While Miss Midnight can't fly, she has superhuman agility and acrobatic powers, allowing her to cover ground on foot with the speed of a race car, her smooth, bare soles carrying her over any terrain, and even up vertical surfaces. How powerful must those perfect legs be, to allow her to leap distances like some human missile.


Brainiac's mechanical minions are no match for the lethal mistress of gun-kata!

The next video has Midnight hanging out in the villain safe house known as 'The Tap Room', where she can rest, lay low, equip with the deadliest new weapons, get contracts and jobs, or just put her feet up and have some lackey give them a well-deserved massage (villainy has got its perks!). It doesn't have much action, but damn if it isn't just awesome enough to just watch this stunning femme fatale walk sexily around on her silent bare feet!


This is only the beginning... Miss Midnight is thirsting for BLOOD.

I'm having tons of fun both playing and watching my new vixen kick ass and look amazing doing it. Rest assured, there will be more of her adventures to come. TO BE CONTINUED!

Off to find some poor devils to crush beneath her feet...
