I need to dress my company's VPs as super heroes. I have no problem picking out costumes for the men, but I'm having a tough time with the single female VP in the group. It seems I can't think of a single female superhero that isn't dressed in scandaly clothes, or skin tight spandex.
Does anyone know of a super heroine that is fully clothed and... un-sexy? Is there even such a thing? I dunno, maybe one of you guys knows.

you could also do the 'alter-ego with a little bit of costume showing underneath kinda thing'
edit:
or if you're not limited to comic book super heros, you could do samus....

Carmen Sandiago.
She may not be a super hero but she sure as hell is awesome.
OH SNAP!!! CARMEN SANDIEGO!!! I know she's a villan, but... you know what... I just got back last night from a 40 hour flight from hell... and I'm working over time.... Carmen it is!!!
Edit: Actually, you can keep suggesting. They probably won't like Carmen...
Death, from Vertigo
Batgirl, who I think is in a wheelchair now, without a costume?
Elizabeth Sherman, from Hellboy
Elsa Bloodstone, from Nextwave (I guess you would cover up the belly; boots, coat and gun would be the focus)
Kim Possible?
Maybe you could just make something up?
EDIT: I think there was someone on the Justice League cartoon who was dressed like a gypsy. I'd bet she's probably called Gypsy, too.

Just go with Wonder Woman and use the stars and stripe skirt instead of bikini bottoms. Could also go with Supergirl. Batgirl has a full on costume and mask if you wanted to go that way too.
I'd imagine something simple and easy like one of the X-Men girls, Storm and Rogue can both be pretty distinctive just from the hair, or Catwoman, who only really needs black clothes and a pair of cat ears.
VP of company has me picturing middle aged and slightly overweight and I think you could pull those off pretty easily regardless.
You could pick an easily recognizable superheroine, like Supergirl with the big red/yellow S on her chest, and use your creative license to adjust the costume to make it work appropriate.

I did Violet Parr for Halloween and instead of the black skivvies I went with a black skirt and it looked pretty good, that also made it a bit more modest.

You could probably pull off a recognizable Elektra look with a suitably short red skirt, red top and head scarf without making it too revealing.
Though if I were you, I'd definitely go for Montoya The Question. This may be primarily due to the fact that I find The Question awesome, however.
Just convince her to ditch work that day, perhaps? :P
This may or may not be a good idea in practice.

Catwoman
Mrs. Incredible!
Storm was usually in a all white type Garb.
Or you could just say fuck it and dress em as vampirella.
Pepper Potts, Bad-Ass Iron Woman Extraordinaire!

Thread over.
