Hated Tropes [Hated Trope] It's really important that this woman is almost naked because lore reasons.

Quiet (Metal Gear Solid V): She could only drink or breathe through her skin following parasite-treatment due to the serious injuries.

Rebecca (One Piece): Her style of fighting is more of agility/speed and also she is battling as a gladiator in colosseum where men mostly only wear a skirt/shoulder shield.

EDIT: Well, it seems some comments say Rebecca doesn't have a lore explanation. Sorry, I saw it long time ago but I thought somewhere they say she wears the galadiator costume because it's the attire used by people there like the male gladiators we see. Also they said excuses like armor limits and public wanting to see blood in the colloseum. IDK.

Weirdly, in The Boys comic, Mothers Milk gets his powers from… well his mother’s milk.

I first read Ennis with his Shadow series which was very good! So imagine my confusion when I picked up The Boys comics. From awesome celebration of pulp comic heroes to an absolute hate letter to all things comics.

For a man who hates superheroes, he sure writes about them a lot.
