| 181 | |
| 182 | ->Another quick and easy change was to [[HotterAndSexier attempt to make a character more sexy]]. From 1992 to 1994, ComicBook/InvisibleWoman wore a radically different suit than she'd been wearing for three decades by [[CleavageWindow cutting out a big number four over her boobs]]. In-story, we were given the explanation that Invisible Woman was under the influence of an evil personality called "Malice" and that's why she changed her look. But I don't think that necessarily justifies running around as a [[ActionMom mother]] and a scientist in a completely impractical costume. [...] DC didn't do much better, because this time, they put ComicBook/WonderWoman in a costume that was apparently comprised of biking shorts, the world's smallest bikini top, and a very small leather jacket, none of which would be particularly useful in a fight. You'd think that wearing skin-tight spandex would be sexy enough without having to cut parts out, but whatever. |

Bai (Miss Ling if you nasty) wore a custom-made self-adhesive top that she paired with an elegant hand-woven peek-a-boo skirt and chiffon showgirl train.
