More or less. Think of it as sports bra w/more wire and infrastructure. A woman who's built like Dolly Parton and wants at least a chance that the interviewer at the investment office will concentrate on her face would probably call it "essential."

Me too. Great art and a funny thread.
Funny? Lex Luthor as a Legion villian. That's just bassackwards weird.
It IS traditional though, even the 'toon Legion took on a Luthor. Now that I've thought of it, it surprises me that Mark Waid didn't resurrect old Baldie like DnA did with Ras al Gul. He's a big fan y'know.

In the immortal words of Crow T. Robot: You do it. I'm bitter.
Also, y'know, the more I think back, the more I remember my extremely hopeless forays into team sports and how much getting clobbered in the chest with hockey sticks (et al) HURT. The more I think about it, the more I think that no heroine anywhere EVER should step out of the house without minimizing body armor from at least Adam's apple to right above the ankle.

I think that was the beginning of Brainy's "boy crush" on Superboy.
Well, I prefer to call it a "boy crush," but kajillions of other fangirls... [ahem]

Cleome, i am 41, and in the last two weeks have seriously considered a codpiece. I have a three year old that is at the perfect height to digitally impact .... certain areas that are sensitive. And he does it frequently. As well, i have two dogs clocking in at around 50 lbs that greet me with paw punches.
Well i understand the need for protection. I would say it not indemnic to females alone.

No argument there.
mr_cleome's cat loves to rocket off the headboard in the small hours of the morning with all her claws out. I keep telling him to wear protection to bed. He'll be sorry someday for not listening to me.
Yesterday I was watching JLU on disc, and there was some Mike Grell barbarian guy whose name escapes me running around in nothing but half a squirrel pelt and a helmet with wings. Well, maybe the armor was supposed to be concealed by the pelt. Nobody ever thinks to explain these things to me. :/

That would be Travis Morgan, Warlord of Skartaris. To be honest, while i love Grell's work, especially on legion, i always thought that was a rip off of John Carter, Warlord of Mars. A very well done rip, mind you.
Its a tale of the land of Barbarians. They're not so much into armour. Reminds me of when i was a kid in winter. You had this huge, clunky old coat that was heavy as heck, but you only needed it a few minutes in the day while in school. Who wants to tote something like that around all day? So, I decided not to wear it, and just suffer through the fifteen minutes or so before school.
Trade-offs, my dear. Life is nothing but a series of trade-offs.

Personally, I like to think that by 3100, they'd have invented body armor that wouldn't weigh a ton and that wouldn't make you roast alive even when it was balmy outside. In my mind, I already assume that most superheroes have some kind of special weave to uniform cloth that prevents them from getting covered in bruises every time somebody throws them against the wall (or drops the wall on them). Did any superhero apart from very early Spiderman ever acknowledge the concept that if somebody throws you against the wall and you are not Kryptonian (or otherwise invulnerable) you will get bruised ?
I have no life. :/

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

I like to pretend that Legion uniforms like Phantom Girls, that have big holes in them, actually have transparent cloth elements over those 'holes.' What's the point of Carmine's actionwear giving them impact-resistant energy-reflective costumes if Shadow Lass's costume covers only 14% of her body, anyway? That's gonna be one hell of a 'blaster tan,' Shady!

It's funny that Mon's the invulnerable one and he wears the most clothing.

Invulnerable and modest. What a combination!
