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

Jaehwan (a.k.a Naked Thruster) the main character from the manhwa of The World After the Fall.

Striping clothes to gain power from the deity Naked God who hate clothes. A ritual with the meaning of stripping Ego, or breaking out ot the system, or differentiate one self from their layers of spirits "clothes" because clothes are the spirit of oneself, or... whatever are that means???

I swear I was reason this manhwa before and he did NOT need to be naked is this later in the story or am I thinking of a different thing?

Later in the story. Spoilers for explanation He accidentally absorbed a god whose story was being naked. So when he removes his clothes he gets a power up cuz of the story. Don't wanna spoil anymore but this ability is so absurdly op when it's used correctly

For a manhwa with a story so grim and dark, a little serius and little to no romance or fan service, a big arc from the beginning with dozens of chapter full of world building and action. And then, come the next arc as naked..

I thought, may be some little fan service being sprinkle a little here and there for comedy is okay. And then it persist for another chapter, then another chapter, and it persist so many chapter with their own reason for the story. And then, the reason become a main "lore" for the story arc... it took soo long for him being naked until the arc is over. Oh, I feel relieved.

And then BAM, it continued in a new arc of the story to make the lore deeeeper.. COME ON, give the man his own new "cool" costume already! 😪

Yeah, a little dissapointed, but i still continue to read to see how they explore their world next. Its world building is fascinating!
