* One episode of ''All American Girl'' involves a ''sculptor'' offering to create a nude statue of Margaret. [[SelfDeprecation Aware of her less-than-flattering figure]], Margaret even tells him to "forget accurate — make me ''hot''!"

* Sort of inverted in SchoolRumble where rumor goes around that one of the more well endowed teachers is posing nude for the art teacher to draw. When the gang of school perverts goes to see the art piece, it's so abstract you can't make anything out.

* ''The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard'' has the main character's daughter end up on a spread that gets projected onto the side of the Houses of Parliament (in reference to when FHM did the same thing with Gail Porter).
* In ''The Truth about Cats and Dogs'', Uma Thurman's character gets outed as PlayingCyrano when the male character in the whole thing sees her as Miss January.

* A character in the ITV1 comedy-drama ''Honest'' is an aspiring model and posed for some for her portfolio. She also poses topless for a gossip magazine, but we don't see this. (Ironically, she was the only regular of the right age to do that sort of thing- Amanda Redman being somewhat too old and her sister being too young IC- that we didn't seen topless).

* At least two episodes of {{Baywatch}} revolved around female characters posing for magazines. Basically an(other) excuse for a {{Fanservice}} montage. As if they ever needed one!

* A 2009 {{ITV}} drama, ''Whatever It Takes'', focused on a woman who became a glamour model after her career as a police officer ended after she was caught having sex in a car with a footballer.

* In ADanceWithRogues, you have the option to pose for a nude portrait for extra cash early in the game. It isn't the cleverest of options [[spoiler:since the portrait is then stolen by the Dhorn and you have to retrieve it from a heavily-guarded facility to prevent your identity from being realized]].

* As with nearly every other form of FanService, the anime ''MaicchinguMachikoSensei'' plays with this trop.

** Another episode had a pervy male teacher make a nude scultpure of Machiko based although she didn't pose for it.

* In ''{{SSDD}}'', [[http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20091009.html this strip]] had in the background a picture of Florence Ambrose, from {{Freefall}}, posing nude with a piece of industrial equipment for a calendar, in a contribution from ''Freefall'''s Mark Stanley to ''SSDD''. Between her fur, her [[{{pettanko}} build]], and the pose, though, nothing "naughty" is really showing. (The large version can be seen [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff/ssddcal.png here]].)

To avoid being filled with TruthInTelevision examples that number into the several millions, include a lot of celebrities of both genders, go back literally thousands of years and are the specialty of enough magazines to fill a small newsagent (believe {{this troper}}, who accidentally saw one), we are going to limit this to fictional examples. These are cases where a character does it, for whatever reasons.

Another part of this {{trope}} is the photographer, who often says things like, "Work it, baby," and, "The camera loves you!"

* One episode of ''AllAmericanGirl'' involves a ''sculptor'' offering to create a nude statue of Margaret. [[SelfDeprecation Aware of her less-than-flattering figure]], Margaret even tells him to "forget accurate — make me ''hot''!"

** Worth noting is that said filler arc was drawn by TheFoglios, the same minds behind ''GirlGenius''.

* One episode of ''TheSimpsons'' caused [[ThisTroper this troper's]] retinas to shut down in self-defense when Marge painted [[FanDisservice a full-length nude of Mr. Burns]]. [[SceneryCensor The relevant bits were constantly covered by random objects]], but STILL...

!!Examples:
[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
* The central premise of ''[[NogizakaHarukaNoHimitsu The Secrets of Haruka Nogizaka]]''. The titular girl is an otaku.
* Ditto with ''[[OreImo My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute]]''. Except that the guy is not a boyfriend, but the big brother... [[{{Squick}} yeah]].
* Austria from ''AxisPowersHetalia'', in regards to his VictoriousChildhoodFriend Hungary. While he's concerned for her well-being, in the end he knows that if she wants to fight, he better lets her... since she will go [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]] and destroy the enemy. Considering their childhood, [[LoveAtFirstPunch he knows it beforehand]]!
* [[ShamanKing Keiko Asakura]] had been dumped by ''every'' single boyfriend she had when they learnt she was able to see spirits. Until the last JerkAss left her and a penniless musician with similar abilities comforted her. That guy was Mikihisa, and she would marry him.
* Horribly deconstructed with [[spoiler: Shiso and Ceres]] in ''AyashiNoCeres''. [[spoiler: Shiso started like this, but being left helpless when he and Ceres got attacked [[IJustWantToBeSpecial made him very frustrated]], so he asked Ceres to give him a part of her powers [[IWillProtectHer so he wouldn't be a burden on her.]] But then, [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity said powers turned out to be too much to handle]], and ItGotWorse...]]


[[AC:{{Comic Books}}]]
* [[NiceGuy Kong]] is this to [[XMen Kitty Pryde]] in UltimateMarvel, even going so far as to yell "You're welcome!" at AllOfTheOtherReindeer for not thanking her when she saves their lives.
* Back in the GoldenAge, Steve Trevor was this for WonderWoman (a remarkably progressive move for the times), and not at all threatened by the idea of getting rescued by or mooning over a woman who was twenty times stronger than him. The Silver and Bronze Age characterizations of him were...[[TooDumbToLive unfortunately]] [[JerkAss less so]], which probably led to him being deleted from continuity PostCrisis.
* In an old What If comic, Jimmy Olsen married Supergirl because of amnesia. Once she recovers and lets him know, he's totally fine with being married to Superman's cousin.

[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* In ''InnocentBlood'', FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Marie has her understanding CopBoyfriend Joe.

[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
* Elend in Brandon Sanderson's ''{{Mistborn}}''. At least [[spoiler:until he gets superpowers himself.]]
* Seth in ''WickedLovely''. When Aislinn tells him that she can see faeries, he has exactly one moment of "Is this a joke?" before accepting it and trying to help her with her faery situation.

[[AC:{{Live Action TV}}]]
* The ''GhostWhisperer'' features Jim the Understanding Husband.
* Both [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] and played straight in ''{{Bewitched}}''. The original Darrin (Dick York) was less than understanding, to the point of being downright hostile to Samantha when she used her magic. TheOtherDarrin (Dick Sargeant), on the other hand, tried his hardest to be understanding, the point that it was more the fault of Endora and the rest of Samantha's family that TheOtherDarrin didn't get along with witches.
* Played with in the ''SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'' TV series. Harvey ''does'' leave Sabrina when he finds out she's a witch, not out of intolerance but because she'd been using magic to mess with his life for years. He eventually does come back to her, though, and says he never had a problem with her being a witch per se.
* Zack was the "gay best friend" equivalent of this in ''Series/{{Heroes}}'', at least until ExecutiveMeddling got in the way.
* Unless she's dating one of the undead, Buffy never got this on ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' (even Riley, who was himself a demon fighting super-soldier, had an inferiority complex due to dating a genuine superhero). It's Willow who hit the boyfriend jackpot with Oz; upon being told the truth about the supernatural world she runs in, he replies, "Actually, it explains a lot," and just goes with the flow from there.
* Tyler Ford in ''TheMiddleman'''s unaired season finale (released as a comic)...[[spoiler:at least, until MM pushes the ResetButton]].
* Allison's husband Joe on ''{{Medium}}'' believes in her powers and is understanding and accepting of them.
* In ''{{Series/Merlin}}'', 2x09. Merlin discovers [[spoiler: Freya turns into a bastet at night, but he isn´t afraid and stills takes care of her. He even pets her cat´s head...]]
[[AC:{{Webcomics}}]]
* [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/understanding/ this]] ''WapsiSquare'' comic. Also the page quote.
* {{Subverted}} (although this may be a retrospective way of seeing it) in ''SluggyFreelance''. Leo seems to be accepting of all the weird things Zoë tells about happening to her - but it turns out that was only because he thought she was lying. In the words of another jerk he hangs out with, "You've got to respect a girl who realizes romantic relationships are based on lies and goes to town with it!" As soon as Leo finds out it was all true, he feels betrayed, and they eventually break off.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* [[PhineasAndFerb Candace]] seems to have this with Jeremy. Despite all of Candace's attempts to put a stop to PhineasAndFerb's projects, the guy never, ever seems to lose his cool, and they're still an item.

But you can't tell your boyfriend about it! He'd freak out and leave you, or worse. But then, you can't keep it a secret forever, either. At some point, one of your supernatural incidents will inevitably happen exactly when you were having a romantic dinner. Or maybe your relationship has simply reached the next level, and you feel that you need to be completely honest with him.

So what now? How will he react? Well, it turns out he's perfectly okay (well, for the most part he's perfectly okay) and understanding with it! That's right, as a reward for your sacrifices, the PowersThatBe will make sure that you end up with a truly noble and loving soul who loves you for who you are and doesn't care what you are. So no worries!

This trope is a DoubleStandard, in that wives and girlfriends are pretty much automatically accepting of their ActionHero husband/boyfriend's actions, whereas the number of husbands/boyfriends who automatically accept that their significant other is an ActionGirl are pretty thin on the ground. For the guy who is a super and needs a girlfriend, his powers are often a plus for her (because AllGirlsWantBadBoys). For women, finding a guy who truly doesn't have a problem with dating someone with superpowers when he's a {{Muggle}} is the bigger issue, because, well, NoGuyWantsAnAmazon.

Compare ButYourWingsAreBeautiful, when a disguise forms part of the powers. Compare to ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend for the ActionGirl [[InvertedTrope variant.]] Compare and contrast BoyMeetsGhoul, for the guy/girl who is on the other end of this trope. See also TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife, which is an aversion of this trope.

What might be called Out of Character FanService. When a person, usually female, poses for photographs, a painting or a sculpture scantily clad or even naked.

To avoid being filled with TruthInTelevision examples that number into the several millions, include a lot of celebrities of both genders, go back literally thousands of years and are the specialty of enough magazines to fill a small newsagent (believe {{this troper}}, who accidentally saw one), we are going to limit this to fictional examples. These are cases where a character does it, for whatever reasons.

Another part of this {{trope}} is the photographer, who often says things like, "Work it, baby," and, "The camera loves you!"

There are also dozens of sub-tropes, enough to fill a small section of the Wiki, some of which could be titled "Breast of Friends", "Panty Pull" "Let's Save the World — By Getting Naked" and "Not Even Legal In Japan".

!!Fictional examples:

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* In Satoshi Kon's ''PerfectBlue'' former pop idol Mima poses for a photographer who gradually convinces her to undress.
* Though done innocently enough and fully clothed, Rika in ''DigimonTamers'' is made to pose for a photographer by her mother and ends up running out of the room after becoming upset with the procedure. Given that the photographer (in the English dub) was yelling things like, "Yes! Use that face like you're kissing your boyfriend!" her discomfort is understandable.
* In the ''RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' movie, Anthy and Utena end up as partners for an art assignment and have to sketch each other. Anthy persuades the rather shy Utena to disrobe in a scene dripping with {{subtext}}, and when Utena asks Anthy to do the same, an important plot point in the movie is revealed.
* Despite being one of the most violently uptight characters in ''GirlsBravo'', during a photo shoot, Kirie is oddly into it, even to the point where she assists Koyomi in showing cleavage.
* After an accident in which [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ranma]], from ''[[RanmaOneHalf Ranma 1/2]]'', destroys Nabiki's concert tickets, he tries everything in his power to make it up to her. Seeing she's still despondent, he goes as far as [[GenderBender turning female]], wearing lingerie, and posing for photographs (Nabiki herself often snapped candid pictures of [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ranma's]] female form, without his knowledge or consent, to sell at school.) [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ranma]] himself hates this sort of thing, and hates wearing female garments even more. But only after coming out with several ''dozen'' rolls of film does Nabiki's mood begin to improve.
** Once, when [[TricksterMentor Happosai]] used [[PressurePoint moxibustion]] to sap [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ranma's]] strength, the latter retaliated by learning the [[FinishingMove Hiryuu Shoutenha]] technique, which requires the opponent to shed a hot, angry aura. [[ItOnlyWorksOnce Happosai was wise to this]], though, and refused to show even the slightest anger. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ranma]] regrouped, [[GenderBender changed into a girl]], and took pictures of herself in lingerie — something Happosai had always wanted to see — in order to get the DirtyOldMan to emit an ''even hotter'' aura of lust.
* And how can Mikuru in ''SuzumiyaHaruhi'' remain unmentioned, when she is constantly forced into such situations by Haruhi.
* In ''{{Slayers}}'', a young([[KidHero er]]) Lina Inverse once made a tidy profit by magically projecting an image of her older sister, Luna, bathing. Luna's [[NoodleIncident retribution]] is one of the reasons [[PersonOfMassDestruction Lina]] is now TERRIFIED UNTO DEATH by even the slightest mention of said sister.
* In her human identity (Non-Senkawa), this is [[{{Tetsuwan Birdy}} Birdy's]] way of making ends meet.
* In ''KaguyaHime'' Akira frequently poses nude for her adopted mother to draw.
* Sort of inverted in SchoolRumble where rumor goes around that one of the more well endowed teachers is posing nude for the art teacher to draw. When the gang of school perverts goes to see the art piece, it's so abstract you can't make anything out.
* In an early ''AhMyGoddess'' chapter, Keichii and Belldandy end up modeling for Sayoko's art club. The thing that Keichii considers the worst part of the job is that Belldandy is modeling naked and he can't see anything from his pose. Sayoko's hopes of embarrassing Belldandy with this job is thwarted twice over. First, Belldandy isn't bothered by the request to pose naked in front a group of total strangers (having little understanding of human social conventions at this point in time). Second, when Sayoko displays the paintings that the various members of the club produced around campus, she finds that for some inexplicable (to her) reason, all of the paintings they produced ended up being of subjects other than Keichii and Belldandy.
* Completely and utterly inverted in ''EsperMami'' -- Mami's father is a painter specializing in nude figure painting, and Mami is his favorite subject, something she is not upset by in the least. Her house (and bedroom) are filled with nude paintings of her, something of which she [[InnocentFanserviceGirl isn't really embarrassed about.]] The main male lead, however, is [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn embarrassed enough for the both of them]]. The trope is played more straight later on when she poses for an artist who isn't her father, however, and feels somewhat uncomfortable about it. Did we mention this was a kids show, AnimeAnatomy, PeekABoo and NippledAndDimed are all fairly averted, and that Mami is a freshman in high school?

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* In the MarvelUniverse, candid shots of She-Hulk sunbathing topless were published in a sleazy men's magazine. She ended up being unable to get the negatives back, but achieved a minor victory by wadding up the safe in which they were stored into a metal ball. And, then, the printer "color-corrected" the pictures.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Film]]
* ''The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard'' has the main character's daughter end up on a spread that gets projected onto the side of the Houses of Parliament (in reference to when FHM did the same thing with Gail Porter).
* In ''The Truth about Cats and Dogs'', Uma Thurman's character gets outed as PlayingCyrano when the male character in the whole thing sees her as Miss January.
* Maybe the most famous example: Kate Winslet posing nude so that {{Leonardo DiCaprio}} can sketch her in ''{{Titanic}}''.
--> '''Rose:''' I want you to draw me wearing this. (Holds up a necklace)
--> '''Jack:''' Okay
--> '''Rose:''' ''Only'' this.

[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* A character in the ITV1 comedy-drama ''Honest'' is an aspiring model and posed for some for her portfolio. She also poses topless for a gossip magazine, but we don't see this. (Ironically, she was the only regular of the right age to do that sort of thing- Amanda Redman being somewhat too old and her sister being too young IC- that we didn't seen topless).
* Features in an episode of ''{{Airwolf}}''.
* One episode of ''{{Hustle}}'' forces a member of the team to pose nude for painters. And it isn't [[MsFanservice Stacy]]; it's [[CoolOldGuy Albert]].
* ''GreenWing'' has Martin Dear modelling for an art class in one episode. You don't see anything during the class, but the finished painting we see shows him in all his glory.
* At least two episodes of {{Baywatch}} revolved around female characters posing for magazines. Basically an(other) excuse for a {{Fanservice}} montage. As if they ever needed one!
* An episiode of ''BostonPublic'' had a young one-shot character who was berated for doing so, but they [[BrokenAesop broke their Aesop]] by having this just-say-no speech delivered by Jeri Ryan, the producer-dating MsFanservice of ''[[StarTrekVoyager Voyager]]''.
* On ''HowIMetYourMother'', Barney discovers a nude portrait of Marshall that Lily had made and asks her to do one of him. She reluctantly agrees, but does get even with him by [[spoiler:[[AnimeAnatomy omitting "little Barney" from the painting]]]].
* ''GilmoreGirls'' poked fun at the frequency of this happening in real life when Lorelai allowed Lane's band to practice in her garage only if she promised to "never pose naked on the cover of ''Rolling Stone'' no matter how much trouble your career is in."
* In the ''{{NCIS}}'' episode "Bikini Wax", a dead petty officer (who was participating in a bikini contest) is discovered to have taken part in a lingerie shoot for a magazine, getting a slap on the wrist for it by the U.S. Navy. When this is discovered, the woman who tells them volunteers to get the magazine for them, only for it to emerge that Tony has all the back issues of said magazine (his PornStash must be considerable to say the least) anyway.
** Later in the episode, Tony and Kate go to see the photographer. As they enter the studio, Kate makes the standard feminist "it's demeaning to women" comment. They enter the studio- where three men in speedos are doing a shoot. [[HypocriticalHumor Kate has a big grin on her face]].
** It gets even better. At the end of the episode, Tony has gone to Panama City for spring break (he may well be 34/35 at this point, but he still acts like the fratboy he once was). Drunk, he gets up from the chair where he's just had booze poured down a funnel into his mouth. He walks over to a wall of pictures marked "[[WetSariScene Wet T-Shirt]] Hall of Fame". Guess who's the 1994 entry...
* A perennial sitcom plot (going back at least as far as ''TheDickVanDykeShow'') deals with a female regular trying to recover and dispose of a nude portrait from her younger days. Usually {{Hand Wave}}d by the claim that she posed in a swimsuit (or didn't pose at all) and the author worked from his imagination.
** On ''LifeGoesOn'', the woman poses for the painting deliberately and, very unusually, it's shown on screen.
** ''ThreesCompany'' has a rare male example.
* A 2009 {{ITV}} drama, ''Whatever It Takes'', focused on a woman who became a glamour model after her career as a police officer ended after she was caught having sex in a car with a footballer.
* Spoofed in ''TheSoup'', when Heidi Spencer-Pratt modeled for ''Playboy''. They showed film supposedly of the actual photoshoot (but really a sketch) involving a mannequin modeling in a bikini, being knocked over by the fan blowing her hair in the wind, and the photographer desperately trying to rebuild her but ending up creating a Picasso-esque mess. And then he throws mud on it (as the actual photo showed her covered in mud). Of course, the entire time the photographer is yelling things like 'Oh Heidi, you plastic beauty!'
* Following losing her job on Foyle's resignation in ''FoylesWar'', Samantha Stewart ends up working for an artist as a general helper, which ends up with some nude modelling for a piece destined for the National Gallery. This being a crime drama, the artist gets killed. It's embarrassing enough for Sam when the detectives start going through all his sketches to inventory them — she tries to stop them doing that. Then Foyle shows up and gets an eyeful of one of them. He's relatively un-fazed by an image of his former driver in her birthday suit, but points out she does have a rather good motive for murder.
* In the ''StarTrekVoyager'' episode "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy", the holographic Doctor has added the ability to daydream to his program, but finds that he is no longer able to control when he is daydreaming or not and is having trouble distinguishing daydreams from reality. B'Elana Torres downloads his daydreams into the holodeck in an attempt to diagnose the problem, and we find that in one of his daydreams the Doctor is an artist painting a naked Seven of Nine.
* One episode of ''AllAmericanGirl'' involves a ''sculptor'' offering to create a nude statue of Margaret. [[SelfDeprecation Aware of her less-than-flattering figure]], Margaret even tells him to "forget accurate — make me ''hot''!"
* Done in ''LivingSingle'', when Max poses nude for Regine's boyfriend Keith. Played completely for laughs, including a BetweenMyLegs shot of Max showing the other characters reactions ("Max, you pierced your belly button!").

[[folder:Music]]
* J. Geils Band's "Centerfold".

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* In a ''SluggyFreelance'' filler arc, Torg started a sexy webcam when he switched bodies with Zoe, and Zoe herself continued it after finding out how well it paid. A canon strip revealed this to be AllJustADream, however.
** Worth noting is that said filler arc was drawn by TheFoglios, the same minds behind ''GirlGenius''.
* In ''{{SSDD}}'', [[http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20091009.html this strip]] had in the background a picture of Florence Ambrose, from {{Freefall}}, posing nude with a piece of industrial equipment for a calendar, in a contribution from ''Freefall'''s Mark Stanley to ''SSDD''.

When this is discovered, the woman who tells them volunteers to get the magazine for them, only for it to emerge that Tony has all the back issues of said magazine (his PornStash must be considerable to say the least) anyway.

* A perennial sitcom plot (going back at least as far as ''TheDickVanDykeShow'') deals with a female regular trying to recover and dispose of a nude portrait from her younger days. Usually [[HandWave Hand Waved]] by claiming she posed in a swimsuit (or not at all) and the author worked from his imagination.
** On ''LifeGoesOn'' the woman poses for the painting deliberately and (very unusually) it's shown on screen.

* A 2009 {{ITV}} drama, ''Whatever It Takes''. focussed on a woman who became a glamour model after her career as a police officer ended after she was caught having sex in a car with a footballer.
* Spoofed in ''TheSoup'', when Heidi Spencer-Pratt modeled for Playboy. They showed film supposedly of the actual photoshoot (but really a sketch) involving a mannequin modeling in a bikini, being knocked over by the fan blowing her hair in the wind, and the photographer desperately trying to rebuild her but ending up creating a Picasso-esque mess. And then he throws mud on it (as the actual photo showed her covered in mud). Of course, the entire time the photographer is yelling things like 'Oh Heidi, you plastic beauty!'
* Following losing her job on Foyle's resignation in ''FoylesWar'', Samantha Stewart ends up working for an artist as a general helper, which ends up with some nude modelling for a piece destined for the National Gallery. This being a crime drama, the artist gets killed. It's embarrassing enough for Sam when the detectives start going through all his sketches to inventory them- she tries to stop them doing that. Then Foyle shows up and gets an eyeful of one of them. He's relatively un-fazed by an image of his former driver in her birthday suit, but points out she does have a rather good motive for murder.

* One episode of ''AllAmericanGirl'' involves a ''sculptor'' offering to create a nude statue of Margaret. [[SelfDeprecation Aware of her less-than-flattering figure]], Margaret even tells him to "forget accurate - make me ''hot''!"

* {{Music}} example: J. Geils Band's "Centerfold."

** Worth noting is that said filler arc was drawn by TheFoglios, the same minds behind GirlGenius.
* In {{SSDD}}, [[http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20091009.html this strip]] had in the background a picture of Florence Ambrose, from {{Freefall}}, posing nude with a piece of industrial equipment for a calendar, in a contribution from Freefall's Mark Stanley to SSDD. Between her fur, her [[{{pettanko}} build]], and the pose, though, nothing "naughty" is really showing. (The large version can be seen [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff/ssddcal.png here]].)

* One episode of the Simpsons caused this troper's retinas to shut down in self-defense when Marge painted [[FanDisservice a full-length nude of Mr. Burns]]. [[SceneryCensor The relevant bits were constantly covered by random objects,]] but STILL...

* Despite being one of the most violently uptight characters in Girls Bravo, during a photo shoot, Kirie is oddly into it, even to the point where she assists Koyomi in showing cleavage.

* In ''The Truth about Cats and Dogs'', Uma Thurman's character gets outed as TheCyrano when the male character in the whole thing sees her as Miss January.

* In Satoshi Kon's ''Perfect Blue'' former pop idol Mima poses for a photographer who gradually convinces her to undress.

* In the MarvelUniverse, She-Hulk was "tricked" into posing for the centrefold of a men's magazine. And she's supposed to be smart enough to be a successful attorney?...
** It helps that it was done without her consent. She was sunbathing on top of the [[FantasticFour Baxter Building]], when a chopper with a journalist passed over and took the incriminating shots. She chased it down and only gave up when she realized the pictures would come out black and white, something the photographer didn't realize himself. Making the issue a LighterAndSofter [[BreatherEpisode Breather Issue]] with a side order of CrowningMomentOfFunny.
