Scenery Censor: Difference between revisions

** An interesting aversion is Electro, who, every time he appears naked, nothing obscures... anything. Yet when Electro appeared in ''Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions'', Spidey still blocks the view of his crotch with his hand.

* In ''[[Batman]] and the Outsiders #3'', Batgirl [[No Social Skills|casually]] walks into the kitchen nude in front of two lesbians. The orange juice she takes out of the refrigerator prevents the reader from seeing anything except her butt, which is kept partially in shadow but still quite visible.

* ''[[Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose]]'' has full-frontal nudity for almost all of its female characters, but Jon (the one male comic character who gets [[Black Comedy Rape|molested more often than Kon-El]]) gets increasingly strange and improbable means of hiding his penis, topping off with having a lilypad laid over it, and a frog sitting on top of it. The [[Double Standard]] is not lost on the readers.

* ''[[Batman]] Confidential'' #18 may set some kind of record for this trope as it features an issue long fight between Batgirl and Catwoman in a nudist club with masks being the only item of clothing either of them is wearing. The artist, Kevin Maguire, continually manages to cover up everyone's naughty bits, with a raised hand here, a well positioned turn, and my favorite, a bowl of fruit -- in particular, a pear -- to cover Barbara's butt.

* An infamous ''[[She Hulk]]'' cover when John Byrne was in charge. She's naked but everything is obscured by the motion of a skipping rope. That's actually shown to be a subversion within the book itself, where she's still skipping rope, and then stops, showing herself to be wearing a halter top and a pair of pants.

* Cloud, a [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|sentient cloud]] that could assume [[Gender Bender|either male or female human form]], used little cloud puffs to cover the genital and (in female form) breast areas, although it wasn't clear as to whether those parts of his/her anatomy were actually formed or just left nebulous.

* When [[Mercy Thompson]] shifts from coyote back to human, she ends up naked. The ''Mercy Thompson: Homecoming'' comic uses anything -- even shadows -- to cover up Mercy's breasts and genitals.
