A picture thread for superhero costumes from the 70s and 80s that wouldn't look out of place on the cover of a disco record

The Dazzler and Hypno Hustler pics are kinda cheating, since those characters were actual disco musicians when they were introduced...

Is this pic for real? Because if it is, that's gotta be the most unintentionally(?) gay superhero costume of all time.

I was trying to think if there were any characters who had costumes in this style who were still wearing them after 1989 or so, the best I could come up with was Nova, who I think kind of fits here?

Nightcrawler still wore those disco shoulder pads and V-cut in the 00s, though I guess with him they were kinda justified by his "swashbuckler" persona.
