Superhero Simulator Character Creation — How to Get Hair and Build Your Hero

Superhero Simulator character creation is split in two: a short creator that sets up the person, and a wardrobe that dresses both of their identities. The creator is deliberately minimal, and that is also why the most common search around it is about hair. This page covers what the creator actually asks, what the suit and clothing systems let you change, and where the missing options turn up later in the city.

What the Character Creator Asks You For

The setup sequence is quick. Launch gameplay shows a hero name field, a set of body and skin tone choices, and a male or female selection before you are dropped into the apartment. Only the male hero could be chosen in that build, and an Early Access review states the same thing for the launch window, so the female option is a documented gap rather than a hidden toggle.

What the creator does not include is anything resembling a build. There is no power selection, no origin or background choice, and no stat allocation at creation. The hero you play is a fixed flying powerhouse, and the variation comes from how you look rather than what you can do.

Hero Suit and Civilian Outfit: What You Can Change

The store page describes the wardrobe as mixing and matching masks, capes and armor sets to build a signature look, and it stresses that both the hero and the civilian get their own appearance. In practice that means two separate outfit slots in the same menu, and the civilian side is where purchased clothing and accessories live.

Customization	Where it lives	Notes
Hero suit, mask and cape	Wardrobe	Color scheme is adjustable on the chosen suit
Armor sets	Wardrobe	Part of the same hero appearance menu
Civilian tops and bottoms	Wardrobe, after buying	Some items only appear once purchased
Headwear and accessories	Wardrobe, after buying	Sunglasses and hats appear in launch gameplay
Hair and facial hair	Barber shop in the city	Not offered in the creator at launch

An Early Access review singles out the suit options as a highlight, noting styles that nod to well-known comic and anime characters, so the wardrobe is doing more work than the creator in terms of personality.

How to Get Hair and Where the Limits Are

Hair is the clearest example of a system that exists but is not where you expect it.

• The creator offers no hair or facial hair styles in the documented build, so you begin clean-shaven and bald.
• A Steam feedback thread explains that the styles are available in the city at the barber shop, which is marked on the map.
• The same thread asks the developers to label this on the creator screen so new players do not wander bald for their first hours.
• Suit presets are not documented, so switching between hero and civilian looks means rebuilding the outfit.
• The female hero is unavailable in the sources, and no unlock route is described.
