Godiva Hair: Difference between revisions

* Also lampshaded somewhat in ''Superman/Batman'': one of The Maximums (an [[The Ultimates|Ultimates]] parody) that [[The Batman|Batman]] and [[Superman]] face is a parody of Enchantress ''named'' Godiva and she is depicted as nude except for her ridiculously long hair, which manages to keep her bits covered, even when she's fighting.

* The Guardian of Keys in ''[[Thorgal]]'' appears wearing only this and a golden belt with an oversized buckle. Somewhat subverted later when some nude females do appear in the series. This is mostly due to the publishing in weekly format in ''Tintin'', which was a catholic magazine. The restrictions were dropped when it switched to hardcover albums.

* Venus from ''[[Agents of Atlas]]'', being rather... liberal, spends a few issues like this, but eventually puts on some clothes to "help blend in with the rest of the team".

* Medusa of the Inhuman Royal Family does this. A lot. She has [[Justified Trope|really, really long prehensile hair]].

* One issue of ''[[Wonder Woman]]'' opens with Diana waking up to Ares paying her a visit in her bedroom (no, not like that), and because Diana apparently sleeps au natural she only has [[Godiva Hair]] covering her. Oddly, despite having the God of War and major [[Jerkass]] Ares right in front of her, she doesn't make any attempts to cover up, though that could be her Amazonian upbringing.

* ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'': Starfire uses this every so often, particularly when Dick Grayson discovers her in the shower.

* Done in an issue of ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|New Avengers]]'' as Wolverine corners Jessica Drew in the shower.

* In ''[[Riviera the Promised Land]]'', there's a pair of bath scenes that use [[Godiva Hair]] to cover up female characters -- at least, those that have enough hair. The ones that don't are covered up in other strategic ways.

* Eve in ''[[Painkiller]]''. Her hair still does this, even after her assets are covered up in the expansion. When the camera is at the right angle, this trope fails to achieve its goal.

* ''[[Bayonetta]]'' turns this trope on its head. The title character is a witch whose default wardrobe consists ''entirely'' of her own magically manipulated hair. [[Most Writers Are Male|Not surprisingly]], she [[Prehensile Hair|uses her hair]] for [[Our Dragons Are Different|other]] [[Power Fist|things]] sometimes, which in turn makes this both an inversion and an aversion of the trope. And when she's doing some serious witchcraft, [[Fan Service|not much is left on her person nor to the imagination]].

* A good number of female demons/Personae in the ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' series; while the hand-drawn artwork in their profiles shows them in various (and detailed) stages of nudity, the actual character models have seemingly glued their hair to their chest.
