History AdaptationalModesty / ComicBooks

** When ComicBook/{{Elektra}} operates as a vigilante, she uses a black jeans and top, and a red bandana. It's still a bit sexy, but not a red swimsuit like the prime earth Elektra. She was introduced in ''ComicBook/UltimateDaredevilAndElektra'', and then moved to ''ComicBook/Ultimate SpiderMan2000''.

* ComicBook/ScarletWitch [[UsefulNotes/ComicsCode despite the comics code of ethics]] already had very a {{Stripperific}} outfit for the 60s and since then, Wanda’s outfits have eventually become TamerAndChaster over time. Her current outfit bares her shoulders and cleavage, but unlike her previous outfits keeps her legs covered and no longer includes a leotard. Although in more recent comics like ''ComicBook/XFactor2020'' and ''The Trial of Magneto'' Wanda is rocking the leotard again.

* ComicBook/CarolDanvers has spent many decades with some of the most notoriously MsFanservice outfits in Marvel. Her original costume baring her midriff and legs and then next came her much loved Ms Marvel leotard which put '''a lot''' emphasis on her buttocks. After taking the title of ''Captain Marvel'' Carol now inclusively wears a full bodysuit and her {{fanservice}} is at a bare minimum.

** Both Madelyne Prior and ComicBook/EmmaFrost got hit with this in the ''ComicBook/Inferno1988'' and ''ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse'' tie-ins to ''ComicBook/{{Secret Wars|2015}}'':

** ComicBook/{{Storm}} has long since ditched her iconic LeotardOfPower for a bodysuit similar to one from [[Film/XMenFilmSeries the movies]] with her leotard being last seen in ''Second Coming''. Ororo's modern outfits sometimes bare her cleavage and midriff (as seen in the more recent ''ComicBook/BlackPanther'' comics) but are otherwise quite modest compared to her numerous {{Stripperiffic}} outfits over the past few decades.

** ComicBook/{{Rogue}} ironically inverted this for the longest time as she had modest costumes as a villain and only got progressively HotterAndSexier outfits (along with becoming ProgressivelyPrettier) after her HeelFaceTurn. But ever since her tenure in ''ComicBook/UncannyAvengers'' Rogue’s modest green hooded outfit has mostly been her default costume and her {{fanservice}} has been toned down somewhat. It’s even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in her more recent solo series with ComicBook/{{Gambit}} as during a battle with physical memories of their past selves, Gambit takes note of her famous Creator/JimLee bikini and short shorts picnic outfit with nostalgic lust, while Rogue only remarks “What was ah thinking?”.

** ComicBook/{{Psylocke}} (one of the famous [[MsFanservice Ms Fanservices]] in comic history for her [[LeotardOfPower ninja leotard]] and the TropeCodifier for BoobsAndButtPose) ever since returning to her original body in 2018, Psylocke has [[TamerAndChaster started dressing modestly]]. This culminated in the recent ''Excalibur'' series where after taking the title of ComicBook/CaptainBritain Betsy’s default costume is full body armour that doesn’t show a hint of skin below her neck.
** ComicBook/{{X 23}}, while she dressed modestly in a black bodysuit in her first appearance in ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', Laura’s immigration into 616 canon had her in a variety of {{Stripperiffic}} attire (she also happen to be a former prostitute). Even her least skimpy outfits showed off her midriff and cleavage, it wasn’t until ''ComicBook/AllNewXMen'' and ''ComicBook/AllNewWolverine'' where Laura traded her revealing leather outfits for armoured bodysuits. Incidentally she became a far less DarkerAndEdgier character too.
** Inverted with ComicBook/JeanGrey in ''[[ComicBook/XMen2019 House of X]]'' before then Jean’s outfits almost entirely consisted of full bodysuits which have invoked SensualSpandex [[TamerAndChaster less and less]] over time. In ''House of X'' Jean goes back to her iconic Marvel Girl outfit which shows off her bare legs, resulting in Jean ironically having the one of the more revealing outfits of the female X-Men whereas in prior comics it was the other way round.

** Flashbacks in the ComicBook/New52 show Dick and Jason with long pants, although like many New 52 changes, this has been reversed in subsequent {{Cosmic Retcon}}s, with the Red Hood story in ''Batman: Urban Legends'' having flashbacks with Jason in the scale-mail trunks. That said, ''ComicBook/BatmanSupermanWorldsFinest'' and its spin-off ''ComicBook/WorldsFinestTeenTitans'', set while dick is Robin, takes a page from ''Noel''[='=]s Jason Todd and modifies the classic Robin costume to have long pants instead of shorts.

** In a [[ComicBook/Starfire2015 partial reboot in 2015]], ComicBook/{{Starfire}} finally got an [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcSta-Um-0hoIvWKc6g0HxzPML83YkOz0uwzY_5q3lzoXN7yBzJ3 outfit]] that better lines up with her outfit outside of comics (see Western Animation and the page image) as part of an AuthorsSavingThrow to show they've moved away from her infamous ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' portrayal.

** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman77'', a comic book tie-in to ''Series/WonderWoman1975'', subverts this with this continuity's take on the Barbara Ann Minerva incarnation of the Cheetah. The Barbara Ann Minerva version of the Cheetah ordinarily goes naked or wears a bikini pelt, but this incarnation wears a shirt and denim shorts even while transformed, though would subsequently be shown going without clothing in a later story where she tried to get Clayface to defeat Wonder Woman.

** Going back to the ''New 52'', Wonder Woman was supposed to have her bikini bottoms replaced with a [[https://k60.kn3.net/taringa/0/6/1/F/6/1/simurdiera_xx/909.jpg pair of pants]]. However, general grumbling about all the changes in so many of the costumes led to DC caving and reverting Wondy back to her original look. This, in turn, annoyed ''another'' group of fans, who felt like Diana was a little too dignified to run around in such a skimpy outfit. It didn't help that the first image was from her ''Justice League'' look, which wasn't as well received as how she would have [[Trivia/WonderWoman2011 looked]] in her [[ComicBook/WonderWoman2011 solo series]].

** ComicBook/{{Storm}} has long since ditched her iconic LeotardOfPower for a bodysuit similar to one from [[Film/XMenFilmSeries the movies]] with her leotard being last seen in ''Second Coming''. Ororo's modern outfits sometimes bare her cleavage and [[BareYourMidriff midriff]] (as seen in the more recent ''ComicBook/BlackPanther'' comics) but are otherwise quite modest compared to her numerous {{Stripperiffic}} outfits over the past few decades.

** ComicBook/{{X 23}}, while she dressed modestly in a black bodysuit in her first appearance in ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', Laura’s immigration into 616 canon had her in a variety of {{Stripperiffic}} attire (she also happen to be a former prostitute). Even her least skimpy outfits [[BareYourMidriff showed off her midriff]] and cleavage, it wasn’t until ''ComicBook/AllNewXMen'' and ''ComicBook/AllNewWolverine'' where Laura traded her revealing leather outfits for armoured bodysuits. Incidentally she became a far less DarkerAndEdgier character too.

** Inverted with ComicBook/JeanGrey in ''[[ComicBook/XMen2019 House of X]]'' before then Jean’s outfits almost entirely consisted of full bodysuits which have invoked SensualSpandex [[TamerAndChaster less and less]] over time. In ''House of X'' Jean goes back to her iconic Marvel Girl outfit [[ShesGotLegs which shows off her bare legs]], resulting in Jean ironically having the one of the more revealing outfits of the female X-Men whereas in prior comics it was the other way round.

* ''ComicBook/MarvelAdventures'' sees ComicBook/BlackCat's uniform modified to get rid of her AbsoluteCleavage and Tigra trade her bikini in for a one-piece.

** ComicBook/{{Storm}} has long since ditched her iconic LeotardOfPower for a bodysuit similar to one from [[Film/XMenFilmSeries the movies]] with her leotard being last seen in ''Second Coming''. Ororo’s modern outfits sometimes bare her [[AbsoluteCleavage cleavage]] and [[BareYourMidriff midriff]] (as seen in the more recent ''ComicBook/BlackPanther'' comics) but are otherwise quite modest compared to her numerous {{Stripperiffic}} outfits over the past few decades.

Incidentally she became a far less DarkerAndEdgier character too.

* ComicBook/ScarletWitch [[UsefulNotes/ComicsCode despite the comics code of ethics]] already had very a {{Stripperific}} outfit for the 60s and since then, Wanda’s outfits have eventually become TamerAndChaster over time. Her current outfit bares her shoulders and cleavage, but unlike her previous outfits keeps her legs covered and no longer includes a leotard. Although in ''ComicBook/XFactor2020'' Wanda is rocking the leotard again.

** ComicBook/{{Storm}} has long since ditched her iconic LeotardOfPower for a bodysuit similar to one from [[Film/XMenFilmSeries the movies]] with her leotard being last seen in ''Second Coming''. Ororo’s modern outfits sometimes bare her [[AbsoluteCleavage cleavage]] and [[BareYourMidriff midriff]] (as seen the recent ''ComicBook/BlackPanther'' comics) but are otherwise quite modest compared to her numerous {{Stripperiffic}} outfits over the past few decades.

** ComicBook/BlackCanary kept her stockings but was given a more segmented, armored top meant to seem more practical than her usual leotard. In ''Comicbook/BirdsOfPrey'' #19, she says that they might ''look'' like fishnet stockings, but they're ''actually'' kevlar-mesh leggings. She eventually went back to her classic look when the ''Black Canary'' solo book launched, with the outfit rationalized as a stage costume designed for her career as a rock singer.

* Perhaps to better sync up with her more modest film counterpart, Comicbook/{{Gamora}} from the ''Comicbook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' was redesigned to sport a suit of black and white body armor after the ''ComicBook/MarvelNow'' relaunch. Prior to that, she was well known for her {{Stripperific}} outfits.
* ''ComicBook/MarvelAdventures'' sees Comicbook/BlackCat's uniform modified to get rid of her AbsoluteCleavage and Tigra trade her bikini in for a one-piece.

** Both Madelyne Prior and Comicbook/EmmaFrost got hit with this in the ''Comicbook/Inferno1988'' and ''Comicbook/AgeOfApocalypse'' tie-ins to ''Comicbook/{{Secret Wars|2015}}'':

** Likewise, on the solicited covers for the ''Comicbook/AgeOfApocalypse'' tie-ins, Emma's outfit could generously be described as a G-string, in keeping with the reference to the 90s-era artwork, right down to her being drawn in a BoobsAndButtPose. And once again, by the time the final art was released it had been altered to completely cover her backside.

** Inverted with ComicBook/JeanGrey in ''[[ComicBook/JonathanHickmansXMen House of X]]'' before then Jean’s outfits almost entirely consisted of full bodysuits which have invoked SensualSpandex [[TamerAndChaster less and less]] over time. In ''House of X'' Jean goes back to her iconic Marvel Girl outfit [[ShesGotLegs which shows off her bare legs]], resulting in Jean ironically having the one of the more revealing outfits of the female X-Men whereas in prior comics it was the other way round.

* The ''Comicbook/{{Witchblade}}'' usually [[ClothingDamage destroys its wearer's clothing]], essentially leaving them in little more than a metal bikini. In the LighterAndSofter HighSchoolAU ''Comicbook/Switch2015'', this aspect is wisely omitted (since unlike Sara, Mary is underage).

** Flashbacks in the Comicbook/New52 show Dick and Jason with long pants, although like many New 52 changes, this has been reversed in subsequent {{Cosmic Retcon}}s, with the Red Hood story in ''Batman: Urban Legends'' having flashbacks with Jason in the scale-mail trunks.
