Of course it was around 1970 that Marvel's Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) switched to her 'Emma Peel' outfit, but while that was sexy black leather, it covered her from throat to toe. A decade before that there were some Marvel villains (like Enchantress, a Thor villainess) who showed a lot of skin.

On second thought, probably the original 'sexy' superhero costume was Wonder Woman's, back in 1941, and she's still wearing it today. From the same period were Black Canary and Zatanna, who both wore black fishnet stockings, high heels and...something else (who could remember anything else?).
I never knew that. Hmm. Wonder if he got a charge out of that kite-flying electricity thing?
For me it's not only the costumes though. Both women have very domineering attitudes, and I think that's what I respond to the most. My X-Men erotica stories always involve dominating personalities on a smaller/younger/weaker person; Jubilee, in my case. I identify with her. And she's Wolverine's sidekick, which kind of makes my imagination wander a bit when it comes to 'off-panel' activities. In my stories they almost always have a Dom/painsub thing going offpanel. Maybe I'll post the story I wrote about them here at the Library, although this isn't really a fanfic site. Or put it up in my 'if you want to read it, ask for it' list.
And now that I've hijacked the thread completely, let's return it to topic before I get my chops busted by the MODERATORS!
