Best Known for the Fanservice/Comic Books

Examples of Best Known for the Fanservice in Comic Books include:


 * Psylocke of the X-Men. Even leaving aside her years in Marvel UK (pilot, secret agent, dead fiance, killed her brother's Evil Twin when he tried to rape her...), remember those years she spent as the team's primary telepath? How about those two times she took on Sabretooth with nothing but her psychic powers and won? ...Nothing? Okay, how about that time she got turned into a generic Asian babe and spent years doing nothing but pose in a thong?
 * In-Universe, Jade lampshaded this in Green Lantern when she laments that everyone saw her spread in Bikini Magazine. (Of course, it's kinda hard to forget a green-skinned babe in a bikini, but that's besides the point.)
 * What are the two things everyone remembers about Power Girl?
 * Her cynical sense of humor and tragic backstory about trying to find her true past?
 * Her firm but well-rounded "backstory" isn't too bad either.
 * "Of course Empowered is a good series! It's got a truly courageous female character who highlights the inherent sexism in superhero comics. It does surprising things with its main cast's character development. It's really funny. It's got more bondage and Clothing Damage than you'd think possible to fit in a comic... hey, where are you going?"
 * "You'll like it now. I mean, the later volumes are far more serious and respectful. Ninjette, Thugboy and Sistah Spooky are all fleshed out, Emp barely gets tied up at all, and even uses her status as a stripping-magnet tactical- No?"
 * Battle Chasers is remembered for three things, and two of them were on Red Monika's chest. (The other, even more unfortunately, was the book's chronic lateness.)
 * Novas Aventuras de Mega Man had rampant nakedness. However, that only started with issue 12 of 16. The comic is now mostly known for this.
 * The early She-Hulk comics invoke this - she was conceived in order to draw more readers during a time where Marvel's sales were in a slump, and a Statuesque Stunner Hot Amazon was one idea that seemed to work. Not with everyone, of course - David Goyer once claimed Jen was a "comic book porn star".
 * Spider-Woman is another example of Win Back the Crowd-type fanservice. In her original series, at least, she tended to get captured and tied up a lot.
