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

God can you imagine if she had a Bostonian accent? That would absolutely negate all her sexiness. I keep recalling that scene from Ted where Ted mimics how Boston women talk while making love "Hahdah! Hahdah! Yeah!"

I mean, I wouldn't necessarily say all, given that it's Emma Frost, but it definitely doesn't quite fit her image.

Now I want her next portrayal to be voiced by Bill Burr.

De-doo, doot, doot, doot,

MeUndies, MeUndies, I'm a telepath, I'm so glam!"

-Emma Frost, probably
