Superhero Simulator character creation begins the moment you start a new game in Goldpine City, developed by mightyraccoon! Studios. While the initial setup determines your hero's base identity, deeper visual customization expands as you access your apartment wardrobe, earn money from side jobs, and visit local shops.
Starting Character Creation: Initial Setup and Appearance Options
When launching a new campaign, the game opens with a base setup screen where you establish the core visual identity and name of your hero before entering the opening apartment tutorial.
| Character Creation Setting | Available Options in Early Builds | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gender | Male, Female | Male was the sole active option in early demo builds; female character support was added in subsequent updates. |
| Hero Name | Custom text input | Sets the name used in citizen rescue notifications and apartment eviction notices. |
| Skin Tone | Selectable presets | Initial release builds feature a limited palette of skin tones. |
| Eye Color | Preset color palette | Includes color choices such as green, white, and purple. |
| Body Build | Fixed muscular model | Characters start with a heavily built, muscular physique; manual slider adjustments are not available. |
| Hair / Facial Hair | Bald by default | Characters begin without hair on the initial creation screen and must visit in-game shops to acquire hair styles. |
Once you confirm your name and base appearance, your character wakes up in an apartment alongside their roommate Reggie. From there, you are prompted to complete basic hygiene tasks—such as showering and eating—before stepping into your apartment wardrobe to assemble your first super suit.
Wardrobe and Superhero Suits: Colors, Capes, and Masks
After completing morning tasks in the apartment, your wardrobe serves as the primary hub for toggling and coloring heroic gear. Superpowers in the game follow a fixed Superman-style archetype (flight, super strength, frost breath, and laser vision), meaning customization focuses entirely on visual flair rather than power-set drafting.
Within the wardrobe, costume components are organized into dedicated categories:
- Suits: Players can choose from archetypal presets, including comic-inspired suits (such as Modern, Stealth, Armour, and Alien suits), and apply custom primary and secondary color combinations like blue and gold, black and red, or green.
- Capes: Capes can be toggled on or off depending on player preference. Available options include standard fabrics and patterned designs (such as graffiti patterns), all of which support individual color customization.
- Masks and Helmets: Face coverings range from simple eye dominos to full headpieces, allowing you to conceal your civilian identity before flying into the streets.
Costume pieces do not lock permanently. You can return to your apartment rooftop entrance, re-enter the wardrobe, and alter your color palette, cape, or mask at any point between city patrols.
Civilian Clothing and In-City Styling
In Superhero Simulator, balancing everyday survival with crime fighting requires civilian identity management. Because heroism does not pay the bills, your character must earn currency by working jobs like taxi driving, burger flipping, or cashier work to pay rent and purchase casual gear.
In-Game Phone Stores
Using your in-game smartphone inside the apartment, you can browse retail apps such as Luma and Co or Hype Supply. Purchased items transfer directly into your wardrobe storage:
- Tops: Basic tees, tank tops, and stylized leather jackets.
- Bottoms: Casual trousers and pajama pants.
- Footwear: Everyday shoes and casual footwear (such as Crocs priced around $65).
- Accessories & Headwear: Casual sunglasses, caps, and hats to disguise your character when off duty.
Goldpine City Service Shops
Beyond the phone app, specific physical storefronts across Goldpine City offer appearance alterations:
- Barber / Hair Salon: Allows players to purchase haircuts, change hair color, add beards, and apply makeup. Standard hairstyle changes cost around $100 in earned game money.
- Solarium: Provides options to modify your character's skin appearance after the initial creation stage.
Level Progression Unlocks and Workshop Support
Character customization in Superhero Simulator continues to expand across gameplay as you level up your hero rank from Vigilante to Legend:
- Milestone Suit Unlocks: Leveling up awards high-tier suits and masks, culminating in endgame unlocks like the Alien Suit at level 100.
- New Palettes and Cape Designs: Periodic game updates introduce expanded color presets for existing armor types, including the Stealth Suit and Armour Suit.
- Steam Workshop Integration: The Steam release includes Steam Workshop support, enabling community-created cosmetic assets, mods, and custom clothing options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you choose different superpower builds during character creation?
Existing sources show that you cannot draft custom power classes during character creation. All characters utilize the base superhuman power set, which includes high-speed flight, super strength, ice breath for fires, and unlockable abilities such as power jumps, dashes, and heat vision.
Can you adjust character height and muscle sliders?
Existing gameplay data confirms that character creation does not include body slider adjustments. Your hero begins with a fixed muscular build.
Where do you change your character's hair after starting the game?
You cannot select a hairstyle on the opening new-game screen. Hair, facial hair, and styling options must be purchased in-game by visiting the barber shop in Goldpine City.
How do you pay for new clothes and suits in Superhero Simulator?
Cosmetics found on phone retail apps and in city styling shops require standard in-game cash. You earn money by taking on civilian day jobs through your phone, such as driving passengers in the taxi mini-game.
