Even before she wore her now trademark catsuit, she was still quite sexualized. As if to spell it out to readers, in ''ComicBook/DeathOfTheFamily'' she escapes a death trap that ripped up her outfit... and shows off an insane amount of skin!

She also wears an outfit comprised of a tight-fitting tuxedo jacket that has tails, a white busier, black panties, fishnet stockings, and a top hat.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* ComicBook/{{Starfire}} aka Koriand'r from ''ComicBook/TeenTitans''. She is a hot alien babe with orange skin, who learned languages by kissing people. Kory is regarded as extremely physically attractive even by the standards of the superhero community. Her [[InnocentFanserviceGirl general lack of modesty]] is often used for copious {{Fanservice}}, and even her normal hero outfit leaves little to the imagination. It was taken UpToEleven in ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' (at the start of New-52) where she wears an outfit again more {{Stripperiffic}} than usual, her backstory and personality are changed and she acts like an EthicalSlut. Her fans were not amused, resulting in a move far in the other direction: she not only has her personality back, but a less skimpy outfit styled more like her [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans animated self]] (though of course, she's still ''very'' easy on the eyes).

* ComicBook/PowerGirl (pictured) is possibly the MostCommonSuperPower incarnate. She is the most buxom superheroine of all the DCU who wears a white LeotardOfPower with her famous CleavageWindow (especially drawn by Amanda Conner). There are a number of issues where Power Girl explains the rationale behind it but the reason seems to change every time. It serves as a [[DistractedbytheSexy distraction]], it shows that she's proud of her body, and she can't decide on a ChestInsignia. Double subverted with the ComicBook/New52 relaunch. Power Girl was given a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_powergirlnew52_6447.jpg bodysuit that fully covered her]]. However, in one issue her costume gets tears after a fight, [[MythologyGag one of those tears is a hole above her cleavage]]. She eventually gets her iconic, plays-this-trope-straight, costume back after about a year. [[StatusQuoIsGod It seemed all of creation (even the female fans) wrote in demanding it.]]

** [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cassandra Cain]] doesn't strike as an example due to her default design being a skinny young girl covered in scars. Still, her suit really clings to her like anybody else, and when she's not drawn as a skinny girl covered in scars, she's usually drawn like this. [[http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/945740.html#cutid1 The Cruise issue of her series]] was pretty bad for it though, with her wearing a bikini for most of it (a ''thong'' bikini from the look of it), and later doing her crazy martial arts skills while wearing a dress she shortened, inducing pretty blatant panty shots.

** Subverted with [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 Stephanie Brown/Spoiler/Batgirl III]]. She's got a modest build, her Spoiler suit is designed with practical use in mind rather than sex appeal, while her Batgirl suit is just as practically designed, and most of her civilian appearances are in tomboyish conservative clothes. However, she briefly had a ThongOfShielding over her suit in place of the typical UnderwearOfPower, and while her suits are practical, they're usually just as skin tight as any other superhero suit, and just as susceptible to clothing damage as others. [[{{Squick}} She was also heavily sexualized during the torture scene in War Games]] and her time as Robin, and her Batgirl series seemed quite fond of her in her bedroom wearing short shorts and showing off her butt as much as possible, leading to it being briefly lampshaded, with Oracle noting that people are currently getting a good view of her buttocks, or 'good side' as she put it, while they take pictures.

** ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 Post Crisis]]'' ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} was a pretty infamous example, what with her cheerleader like costume, being introduced naked in ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton'' and later dressing in low cut jeans with her thong straps on display, and her constant panty shots when in costume. While most young teenaged girls in comics get treated like this, she did it to such a degree that it made many people uncomfortable and was the source of many criticisms. Editors eventually issued a demand for this to be limited and/or stopped, and it did.

matching the rewrite on Characters.Batman Poison Ivy


** ComicBook/PoisonIvy is a very beautiful woman who has a very voluptuous yet athletic body, impressive hourglass figure, buxom breasts, toned broad shoulders, and long toned yet shapely legs. She also tends not to wear anything, other than leaves and vines (along with outfits that she wears with green tights). In the New 52, she got a form-fitting outfit, but even that just amounts to plant spores and leaves hugging up on her body. Even when in battle, she usually speaks in a sultry tone, uses sexual innuendos, and takes stock Playboy Playmate poses while her plants fight for her.

* Vikki Vale in ''ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder'' spent the first few pages dressed in nothing but a [[LingerieScene pink bra and undies]] talking about how Franchise/{{Superman}} is the "Man of Steel" for other reasons and all they had was a flying bat. There was even a panel that focused solely on her butt. When she found out that she had a date with Bruce Wayne, she ended up in a very revealing dress.
* ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}'':
** Arthur's wife ComicBook/{{Mera}} doesn't bare much skin outside of the occasional AbsoluteCleavage, but she wears a suit that hugs her curves very tightly.
** Ya'Wara on the other hand is a WalkingSwimsuitScene and wears nothing else.

* ComicBook/BlackCanary and her famous fishnets costume. As noted in DependingOnTheArtist, some artists have her outfit showing plenty of cleavage.

** ComicBook/HarleyQuinn. Her iconic outfit is a very [[SexyJester form-fitting jester suit]] that switches it out for what can best be described as a bikini designed to resemble her former appearance. In "Mad Love" she wears a see-through red negligee also. And in the New 52 universe her outfits are more incredibly revealing; this is lampshaded by Harley herself (in the ''ComicBook/SuicideSquad'' series), at one point referring to her look as a "stripper clown outfit". And in her solo series, she is often subject of MaleGaze ''out and InUniverse''.

In the New 52, she got a form-fitting outfit, but even that just amounts to plant spores and leaves hugging up on her body. Even when in battle, she usually speaks in a sultry tone, uses sexual innuendos, and takes stock Playboy Playmate poses while her plants fight for her.
** [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cassandra Cain]] doesn't strike as an example due to her default design being a skinny young girl covered in scars. Still, her suit really clings to her like anybody else, and when she's not drawn as a skinny girl covered in scars, she's usually drawn like this. [[http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/945740.html#cutid1 The Cruise issue of her series]] was pretty bad for it though, with her wearing a bikini for most of it (a ''thong'' bikini from the look of it), and later doing her crazy martial arts skills while wearing a dress she shortened, inducing pretty blatant panty shots.
** [[ComicBook/{{Huntress}} Helena Bertinelli/Huntress]] is a very beautiful woman who tends to wear form-fitting and sexy costumes that highlight her voluptuous yet athletically toned body, toned stomach, buxom breasts, long toned legs, and nice rear end. The artists behind ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'' seem to be pretty fond of her rear end as well though that's true for all the Birds.
** Subverted with [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 Stephanie Brown/Spoiler/Batgirl III]]. She's got a modest build, her Spoiler suit is designed with practical use in mind rather than sex appeal, while her Batgirl suit is just as practically designed, and most of her civilian appearances are in tomboyish conservative clothes. However, she briefly had a ThongOfShielding over her suit in place of the typical UnderwearOfPower, and while her suits are practical, they're usually just as skin tight as any other superhero suit, and just as susceptible to clothing damage as others. [[{{Squick}} She was also heavily sexualized during the torture scene in War Games]] and her time as Robin, and her Batgirl series seemed quite fond of her in her bedroom wearing short shorts and showing off her butt as much as possible, leading to it being briefly lampshaded, with Oracle noting that people are currently getting a good view of her buttocks, or 'good side' as she put it, while they take pictures.
* ''ComicBook/{{Firestorm}}'' has minor villainess Plastique, a gorgeous redhead terrorist with an [[ActionBomb explosive-laden]] [[SpyCatsuit catsuit]]. [[BestKnownForTheFanservice Most memorably]], of course, was the way Firestorm [[DefeatByModesty defeated her]] by [[TheNudifier disintegrating her costume]], carrying off her bombs to detonate safely, and undermining her attempted martyrdom and political statement by leaving the hapless villainess [[ShamefulStrip standing naked in front of live TV cameras]] while having a NakedFreakOut and desperately trying [[HandOrObjectUnderwear covering herself]].
* ''Franchise/GreenLantern'':
** The Red Lantern Bleez. It's often been pointed out that she's frequently drawn in ways that emphasize her curvaceous rear end (though it's worth noting that this was most prominent when Ed Benes was drawing her).
** The Green Lantern Corps itself has Arisia Rrab, an [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe orange-skinned space babe]] with a very large chest and a flirtatious personality. Curiously, this trope was invoked by Arisia herself, as she wasn't initially depicted this way when introduced, being only a little girl when she received her ring. She then used it to age herself into an exotically beautiful young woman in order to pursue a relationship with Hal Jordan and even managed to become [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/a/a7/Arisia_0014.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120713133811 a supermodel]] very briefly.
** The Sinestro Corps has Lyssa Drak, who is a scantily-clad [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe blue-skinned babe]] and also qualifies as a HotLibrarian, since she keeps the Book of Parallax.
** The Star Sapphires is a whole Corp of them, being [[AmazonBrigade all female]] and wearing uniforms that leave little to imagination. Primarily among them is Carol Ferris and Fatality.
* ''Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'':
** Ice had this problem during ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'', as a lot of action scenes had her oddly-used tank top portion of her uniform hiked over her chest.
** Her friend Fire (Beatriz da Costa) is a more a straight example. She is mostly naked in flame form and when she's not using her flame powers, she is always wearing something that [[BareYourMidriff shows off her belly]], be it her superhero outfit or a bikini. Her fire powers also have a tendency of [[ClothingDamage destroying her clothing]], leaving her naked when she turns off her flames.
* ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'':
** Dream Girl. By design, from her very first appearance, she look like a pin-up. She is a sexy blonde girl and her white costumes (especially her iconic leotard) are always very skimpy (even prior to the Legion's sexy-costume era of the 70's). Artist often emphasize her sensuality.
** Shadow Lass. A sexy blue-skinned alien babe that often wears just a black bikini with a cape.
** [[WingedHumanoid Dawnstar]]. Her costume is a revealing yellow dress of Native American design, with a plunging neckline and long ornamental fringes on the sleeves and boot cuffs.
** Laurel Kent, whose default costume was an incredibly skimpy black bikini under a red poncho that was a masterpiece of TheissTitillationTheory. She usually [[DoesNotLikeShoes didn't even wear shoes.]]
* Averted in the DC series ''ComicBook/{{Manhunter}}: Street Justice'', with protagonist Kate wearing a full-coverage bodysuit when she fights crime. Granted, she stole it from an evidence locker, but kudos to the author for making her different.
* ''ComicBook/NewGods'':
** Big Barda is a [[StatuesqueStunner statuesque]], [[AmazonianBeauty fit but curvaceous]] [[ActionGirl warrior woman]], who despite favoring practical armor when going into battle, frequently wears a ChainmailBikini while outside of it. She is considered extremely beautiful in-universe despite her humongous size, even towering over ''freaking Superman!''
** Bekka is a HotScientist that favors very skimpy dresses that [[AbsoluteCleavage are open in the chest]] - it seems that have been a part of her character as her animated counterpart in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueGodsAndMonsters'' also sports the same type of outfit. On top of that, she also has powerful CharmPerson abilities that are even stronger than Poison Ivy's, as it managed to work on Batman in ''ComicBook/SupermanBatman'''s "Torment" story arc.
* ComicBook/PowerGirl (pictured) is possibly the MostCommonSuperPower incarnate. She is the most buxom superheroine of all the DCU who wears a white LeotardOfPower with her famous CleavageWindow (especially drawn by Amanda Conner). There are a number of issues where Power Girl explains the rationale behind it but the reason seems to change every time. It serves as a [[DistractedbytheSexy distraction]], it shows that she's proud of her body, and she can't decide on a ChestInsignia. Double subverted with the ComicBook/New52 relaunch. Power Girl was given a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_powergirlnew52_6447.jpg bodysuit that fully covered her]]. However, in one issue her costume gets tears after a fight, [[MythologyGag one of those tears is a hole above her cleavage]]. She eventually gets her iconic, plays-this-trope-straight, costume back after about a year. [[StatusQuoIsGod It seemed all of creation (even the female fans) wrote in demanding it.]]
* ComicBook/{{Starfire}} aka Koriand'r from ''ComicBook/TeenTitans''. She is a hot alien babe with orange skin, who learned languages by kissing people. Kory is regarded as extremely physically attractive even by the standards of the superhero community. Her [[InnocentFanserviceGirl general lack of modesty]] is often used for copious {{Fanservice}}, and even her normal hero outfit leaves little to the imagination. It was taken UpToEleven in ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' (at the start of New-52) where she wears an outfit again more {{Stripperiffic}} than usual, her backstory and personality are changed and she acts like an EthicalSlut. Her fans were not amused, resulting in a move far in the other direction: she not only has her personality back, but a less skimpy outfit styled more like her [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans animated self]] (though of course, she's still ''very'' easy on the eyes).
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':
** ''ComicBook/LoisLane'' can be this DependingOnTheArtist. Sometimes she will wear form-fitting dresses to really short skirts. In ''Superman: For Tomorrow'', there is [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/33/d0/3c/33d03c94de0771264b7eefe4e96db039--red-capes-lois-lane.jpg a famous panel]] of Lois completely naked only using Superman's cape to cover up.
** ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 Post Crisis]]'' ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} was a pretty infamous example, what with her cheerleader like costume, being introduced naked in ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton'' and later dressing in low cut jeans with her thong straps on display, and her constant panty shots when in costume. While most young teenaged girls in comics get treated like this, she did it to such a degree that it made many people uncomfortable and was the source of many criticisms. Editors eventually issued a demand for this to be limited and/or stopped, and it did.
** Maxima is [[StatuesqueStunner an exceptionally tall]], [[AmazonianBeauty muscular (yet very voluptuous)]], [[MostCommonSuperpower bux]][[BoobsOfSteel om]], [[ActionGirl and powerful]] [[HeroesWantRedheads red-haired]] woman with the tendency to wear outfits that are very {{Stripperiffic}} and [[BareYourMidriff bare her midriff]]. Even when her outfits cover her whole body, [[http://static2.comicvine.com/uploads/original/3/33599/1017169-maxima_jl_quarterly_13_20.jpg they tend to be very skintight]] and highlight her muscular yet voluptuous build, buxom breasts, ripped broad shoulders, and long muscular yet shapely legs.
** Cat Grant, a Daily Planet journalist and potential rival for Lois Lane because she was attracted to Clark Kent. She was already a beauty woman, but in the '00 (when she return after a long period of absence) she dresses more provocatively (gaining attention of male employees) and acts more flirtatious than she ever has. During a conversation with Clark, she openly flirts with him and implies that she has had [[BreastExpansion breast implants]].
* ''ComicBook/{{Vixen}}''. She is very busty and her most famous outfit is a yellow/orange body suit with a really long cleavage.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman''. All of the Way. She is a [[StatuesqueStunner tall]], very beautiful raven-haired Amazonian woman (and also the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman) who wears outfits (such as a revealing strapless leotard or a bustier-hotpants combo) that present her skin and highlight her muscular yet voluptuous body, [[MostCommonSuperpower large breasts]], [[AmazonianBeauty strong toned muscles (especially her large biceps)]], ripped broad shoulders, [[MaleGaze nicely toned buttocks]], and [[ShesGotLegs long muscular legs]]. She also is known to [[SleepsInTheNude sleep in the nude]].
** Diana is most certainly this in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''.
* ''ComicBook/{{Zatanna}}'' is a very beautiful, long dark-haired woman who has a very voluptuous yet [[AmazonianBeauty toned]] body with [[MostCommonSuperpower buxom breasts]], [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure an impressive hourglass figure]], and [[ShesGotLegs long toned legs]]. She also wears an outfit comprised of a tight-fitting tuxedo jacket that has tails, a white busier, black panties, fishnet stockings, and a top hat. Due to her powers' reliance on her voice, she is also frequently BoundAndGagged by her enemies, particularly when Paul Dini is writing. Nobody has ever found reason to complain over Paul Dini's appreciation of the character.
