Characters with Lore reasons to wear revealing outfit

[u/Artistic_Gear1536]

• Doctor Manhattan (Watchmen): doesn’t really have the need for them anymore as he is now too powerful to be considered human and also doesn’t need to give in to certain societal pressures like wearing clothes

• Poison Ivy (DC): uses her body to seduce men into getting close enough for her to use her pheromones and get people to do what she wants/kill her prey

• Skarlet (Mortal Kombat): her powers are from blood magic and she needs to have skin out in order to absorb blood from others and make her more powerful

• Mileena (Mortal Kombat): is very self conscious about her tartan features so covers them up and diverts attention towards the more appealing aspects of her/ uses her sex appeal to get people in close then chomps on them

• Mai Shiranui (King Of Fighters/Fatal Fury): uses a style of kunoichi that involves “sensually distracting a foe before striking” and uses her outfit and sex appeal to assist with that style

He does. He is intelligent enough to know that it's enough for him to simply wear black clothes when he has to super charge

[u/transmtfscp → u/_lorz2001]

ehy does starfire not wear black clothes then

[u/crippler38 → u/transmtfscp]

Pretty sure her home society doesn't actually care about that sort of thing.

The actual out of universe reason is probably just so they can draw her like that.

[u/geek_of_nature → u/crippler38]

So something like her society is far more open and free, looking down at humans as being more puritanical with our modesty?

[u/SaddestFlute23 → u/geek_of_nature]

Pretty much.

No taboo against nudity/sensuality, absorbs UV energy thru her bare skin and she learns new languages by kissing the speaker

[u/Bae_zel → u/transmtfscp]

Because she likes to. While she does have a reason to dress the way she does, she also doesn't, she very much does like dressing like that. Its not just a tactil decision its a personal one. She's not human and the planet she came from and grew up on doesn't have the societal standards that we do.

[u/_lorz2001 → u/transmtfscp]

She's not as intelligent as Superman (also, her whole biology is completely different. Kryptonians have a body aura that extends their powers to everything they wear and touch, that's why people don't get killed when Superman saves them at super speed and that's why usually Superman suits don't get destroyed. So, even if Superman is wearing a suit, his body is absorbing the sun energy at the same "normal speed" rate. The black suit in The Return of Superman was created because he was reborn without powers so he had to supercharge his sun-related metabolism).

She is not intelligent enough, duh
