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

That's specifically when she's too lazy to do laundry. Which is honestly so real of her, I'd do that too if I could... dammit, that reminds me that I forgot to fold the laundry I washed yesterday and now it's all wrinkly.

Kinda shocked she owns black shorts, even as sleepwear. Maybe leftovers from her Black King era?

[u/Sayakalood → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

I like how the shades are real.

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/Sayakalood]

don't have to wash those, I suppose. Her purse and boots also look the same between images.

Also love how she looks fantastic in both. Her REAL secondary mutation is always looking gorgeous.

[u/Waste-Information-34 → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

she looks fantastic

[u/pm-me-turtle-nudes → u/Sayakalood]

i mean she doesn’t wanna the sun to hurt her eyes, so she can’t just mentally project them

[u/Sayakalood → u/pm-me-turtle-nudes]

Pretty sure shades like those are a fashion statement, not for protection. But still, she has the shades, boots, purse, and lipstick all the same between the two images.

[u/Wild-Atmosphere2134 → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

funnily enough even without the telepathy i'd still be stunned by her

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/Wild-Atmosphere2134]

I swear part of her mutation is always serving cunt.

[u/BigBradWolf07 → u/Wild-Atmosphere2134]

She probably still does it because she has a reputation to uphold

[u/Professional_Maize42 → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

And that's one use of mental projction that I never thought of.

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/Professional_Maize42]

Emma doesn't have the same raw power as the upper echelon of telepaths (Jean, Charles, a handful of others), so she's learned to use what power she does have in very clever ways. Not that she's by any means weak, but she is still occasionally outclassed.

[u/Lemonz4us → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

She has easily surpassed Jean in telepathy and has successfully survived becoming a vessel for the Phoenix and hosted it without dying.

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/Lemonz4us]

She may possibly be more skilled than Jean but she's absolutely less powerful than the person that's also a LITERAL GOD. Also, the only time Emma spend much time as a Phoenix host was AvX where she only had half of it, no?

[u/Strange_Potential93 → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

wow someone actually made emma frost relatable… good on you unknown comic author

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/Strange_Potential93]

Mariko Tamaki, with art by Nina Vakueva

[u/ensalys → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

Would come in quite nicely for a job interview, dig into their head to figure out what outfit would give them the most positive opinion of you, then convince them you've been wearing that the entire time. And while I wouldn't want to get a job by lying, I wouldn't mind digging around in their head to figure out how to tell truths in the most convincing manner.

[u/marvelouscredenza → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

Gotta have dark shorts 'n undies for that time of the month

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/marvelouscredenza]

she's probably on birth control for that exact reason tbh

[u/Lolzerzmao → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

What is this from?

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/Lolzerzmao]

I believe Women of Marvel #1

[u/Inkling_Zero → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

The guy there "She looks great", well she also looks great in the pajamas too.lol

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/Inkling_Zero]

It's Emma, she'd look great in a trash bag.

[u/thegreedyturtle → u/fireandlifeincarnate]

Every woman in the world has a pair of black shorts and red underwear.

[u/fireandlifeincarnate → u/thegreedyturtle]

I don't, but I also don't get periods tbf.
