Or get help. Your response makes you sound unhealthy.
Do you seriously want to make the claim that her wearing a miniskirt (a character in a comic book, no less) makes everyone else (characters in comic books all) want to look up her skirt?
Sounds like she could win battles with super-villains using just that tactic alone.

Nope, doesn't really matter what's under them, it just makes everyone underneath her to look up her skirt especially her teammates, something I'm assuming they wouldn't purposely do otherwise, nor she or figure skaters (I'm assuming) want people to do. ******************** You DO realize these are fictional characters and don't do anything unless the writer tell them to, right?

Al I'm just picturing the awkward Dr Bonefone defeat ... It's a really funny idea.

Al, you know someone at DC is going to steal that idea now, don't you?

Modesty Blaise has a schtick where she whips open her shirt to distract the badguys. It's called "The Nailer", as I recall. Of course, Modesty Blaise is an "adult" strip, and the bit actually works for her character. Having someone like the Wasp do it just demonstrates how prurient are the minds writing comics these days.

And, lest we forget, the Ultimate line was supposed to provide an access point for new readers, uncluttered with continuity etc. (Because continuity is the bane of all comics (Except when done right!). A bit jarring when those new readers of Ultimate Spider-Man suddenly found that and incest etc in the other comics in that line. Consistency, consistency, consistency

Further proof -- as if any is needed -- that so-called professional comics these days are, in many cases, no more than high-priced fanzines. They are full of the stuff that the cheesier 'zines used to delight in publishing, all about the sex lives of the superheroes, and the ladies flashing their boobs.Just the sort of thing that used to get Stan Lee cited as the "modern Homer".

Aside from that, Stan has also claimed he didn't think of Magneto as avillain, and that he thought of Professor X and Magneto as analogous toMLK and Malcolm X even back in the 60s.
************
SER: Yeah, and that never made sense to me considering that MLK never really had a danger room. The whole non-violence thing. The X-Men, as the feared and hunted because they were different and potentially dangerous, would be more akin to the NOI.
Of course, I prefer the Hitler analogue to Magneto, as you point out. He's all about the Master Race (if the master race was legitimately superior).

Huh? Where did I say it made them want to look up her skirt, just the fact that she's gigantic size forces you, if you look up, to look up her skirt something super heroes wouldn't want to do. Which is why I thought it an odd choice for her design, sorry if I sound like I was trying to make a dumb joke I seriously wasn't.
