* '''Deconstructed:''' Since Amazing Alice doesn't wear much, no one takes her seriously anymore. They either think [[MadonnaWhoreComplex she's just an attention-seeking slut]] or they [[DistractedByTheSexy never pay attention to the good she does just because she has less clothing]].
* '''Reconstructed:''' However, she learns not to care about what people think of her. Her job is about saving the world. Her attire has no effect on that and it doesn't matter what people think of it.

So, they design a costume to fit that ShamelessFanserviceGirl aspect in a way they feel the comics did not.
