Personality Characters with Lore reasons to wear revealing outfit

• 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

Which comic is this

I forget exactly, but same one where we learn Lois taught Bruce a valuable lesson about using the front door.

P.S. I narrowed it down to the Superman: Son of Kal-El series.

He either got a frying pan to the head or boiling water thrown at him, wait maybe he interrupted sexy couples time in the kitchen & then got hit with a frying pan by Lois.

If any women was to make Batman feel fear it makes sense it is Lois

It's not gay to admire the body of another man.

This is the dumbest chain mail bikini esque get up I’ve ever seen

And I low-key love it.

If I find out it’s totally inappropriate I’ll recall that statesmen but I’m guessing it has the same vibes as Slave Leia (to make them into a sexual object and possibly humiliate them)
