Which western superhero could make a good toku?

[Scissors]

So, we already had a "tokunized" version of Spiderman. Even though it was not exactly the best show out there, I kind of liked the idea of taking a western superhero and adjusting it to the toku universe.

Now, if you could take any western superhero (Superman, Batman etc.) and turn it into a toku-show, which one would you pick, and how would you change it to fit the "toku requirements"

Could the villains and their designs be changed into the classic kaijin/rubber suit theme?
How would you make the hero transform? We know that putting on the suit manually is not a toku-thing.
And how would you make the hero defeat the villains? Most of the western superheroes do not have finishing moves. You would need to come up with that too.

Ironman...........that guy has a "Metal Hero"-like toku series all over it.

I don't think we would need to change much except that a Japanese version of Iron Man would get a new transformation sequence instead of walking into his "fancy lab" and putting on the suit.

And some of the original Iron Man villians would have actually gruntmen in "Shocker-like" suits.

You know, I think it was mentioned in the last podcast, but seeing Buffy the Vampire Slayer turned into a Kamen Rider show would be a fangirl's dream.

Well, this fangirl anyway~

I don't know about suit design because I'm terrible coming up with those, but I think it would be obvious for me to think that she'd get the female version of Kiva's suit lol (It's my favorite looking Rider suit; though I still just started watching it~)

She'd probably henshin using the cross necklace she always wears (yes, I know she has different ones, but if it was a toku show, she'd probably only wear one and it'd be for her to henshin), maybe have a cross glow then grow large where it envelopes her whole body forming the suit. She'd have different sleek metal stakes that can turn into different weapons (let's face it, she uses quite a few in the show), like a bo staff, cross bow, when regular use won't cut it.

Obviously, Faith would be the second rider that starts off good and then turns villainous then goes back to being good. Granted, I have no idea how she would henshin or anything like that.

The vampires could probably stay looking the same way, all prettfied until they want to suck your blood. Some villains could look like Succubus from Dekarangers, where she has a suit minus a helmet then she puts it on when she fights or the gothic lolita ladies in Magirangers :sweat: Obviously a little more menacing looking~

Annd yeah... those are quick thoughts if Buffy was made into a Rider series. I'm sure others have better ideas :sweat:

OT: You've just started Kiva already, and now judging by this post you've seen to fall in love with it after the first episode.

See, I told you that you'd love the series :thumbs: I've always had a feeling that Kiva was a series that leaned more towards females than males that just wanted to see some1 kick ass on a consistent basis (even though it's got a shitload of ass kicking as well)

Wow! I thought I was the only one who had thoughts like this!

I've kind of want to see Batman as a Toku hero. His movie suits are practically like suits of armor anyway. His mask would just need to be a helmet. Keep the long ears, make white eye-visors, maybe a metallic mouth-shaped piece instead of showing his actual mouth. And then throw in a bunch of monsters and a strange mystery he has to solve concerning where the monsters are coming from or something like that.

The current Blue Beetle looks a lot like Kamen Rider Gatack

 

[Harlequin]

Ghost Rider! They're both henshin heroes, they both ride bikes, and they both use the power of meant for evil (usually) to fight those who it belonged to.

Rom, the Space Knight. He have all elements to make a good tokusatsu.
