Basic Trope: Someone who has transcended humanity no longer wears clothes.
- Straight: Charles becomes a Cyborg and stops wearing clothes.
- Exaggerated: All transhuman characters have become full-time nudists.
- Downplayed: Charles doesn't really feel the need to wear full outfits anymore, but still may wear clothing for decorative/practical purposes sometimes.
- Justified:
- Charles now has Barbie Doll Anatomy due to his cybernetic implants, so it's not like he needs to wear anything.
- Charles' new form makes it difficult for him to wear clothing, if not outright impossible.
- Charles considers clothing a human invention, so if he is no longer a "human", he doesn't need to wear it.
- Inverted:
- Charles is Brought Down to Normal and starts wearing clothes again.
- After becoming a Cyborg, Charles thinks humans wear too few clothes.
- Charles is depowered and decides to strut around in his birthday suit all the time.
- Subverted: Mike the Mad Scientist didn't bother to provide clothes for Charles for conducting the experiment, but when Charles wakes up as a cyborg, he requests his old clothes back.
- Double Subverted: ...only so he can take them off and rip them to shreds, symbolizing his new status as beyond giving a fig about mere clothing.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: Whether Charles continues to wear anything tends to vary.
- Averted:
- Charles continues to wear clothing even after becoming a cyborg.
- Charles didn't even wear clothing before becoming a cyborg, so it means nothing that he continues to go naked afterwards as well.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: "Gee, with all the new prosthetics Charles is getting, he's not even gonna have to wear clothes anymore at some point soon."
- Conversed: ???
- Played for Laughs: Naked People Are Funny, even if they're not "people" in the traditional sense of the word anymore.
- Played for Drama: Charles and Diane transcend their humanity and become more body-positive. Unfortunately, this has negative effects on Alice and Bob's confidence.
