Recluse was ripped off.

Lord Recluse reminds me of Darkseid, particularly, when Darkseid is invaded by doomsday. He rules his planet with total domination, much like how Lord Recluse rules the Rogue Isles. When Doomsday attacks, he noted the deplorable condition in which the planet's residents lived, but was compelled to protect them because they were his...dude's gotta protect what is his :P Lord Reculse, I'm sure, will do the same thing.
First, you can get bras that don't show lines under tight clothes, and second, she's already over 80

Moral relativism isn't about trying to justify anything. It's just an approach to understanding humanity and living with it. If people need to make up justifications as to why it's okay for you to overstep what they recognize as a moral boundary, then that's not moral relativism. That's just making excuses for doing things you recognize as wrong.
Morality is about as relative as "Your money or your life!" is a viable choice. Yes, technically speaking, you can view morality as relative and use that relativity to justify any number of apparently amoral decisions. In fact, people have tried to do just that to me on many occasions, and there is a certain point beyond which I will stop arguing and simply say "No, that is not acceptable in any way, shape or form and I'm not interested in hearing arguments justifying it."

This isn't the same. Confusing the two would be like confusing Crowley/Lavey style Satanism with the anti-Christianity celebrated by black-clad children. Essentially, if you postulate a rule doesn't apply to you but recognize the rule, you're defining yourself via that rule and are still a part of its larger framework.
Someone who defines themselves as not being a vegetarian is still part of the vegetarian community, whether they want to or not. Someone who doesn't care about vegetarian diets altogether and just eats what they want to eat is a dietary relativist.

Morality may be relative if viewed against the backdrop of the vacuum of space. But we don't live in perfect isolation, we live in a society. A society with certain morals, be they good or bad. And we, as people, hold our own view of the morally right and morally wrong, which doesn't always mesh well between us. |
Now, if we take you at your word that morals are defined by the societies we live in, but different societies espouse differing morals (I can easily find more extreme examples than the one with the shorts, and have already done so), then we have proof that morality is not immutable. If it's not immutable, it can't be absolute. If it's not absolute it's at the very least relative instead.

That's the real reason she does that "mind-riding" thing where she basically swipes another person's body: as the loading screen note about her points out, she doesn't age while she's doing that. She'll probably feel like resting up the ol' corpse for a while again pretty soon.
However her lack of bra is more worrisome. By the time she's forty her breasts will be down around her knees.

If I were a well-endowed woman in Paragon City, I'd be looking over my shoulder in terror right now. Not that that would protect you from a telepathic attack, of course. :P

This more than anything else is the reason I have serious doubts about the Freedom Phalanx. They're harboring what is essentially a vampire - someone who can and does steal the bodies and lives of others to preserve and prolong her own. To say nothing of the human atomic bomb, or the second degree murderer. Our good guys aren't very, y'know, good...

Nope, nope, nothing for her to worry about there. You see, there are a few free inherant powers that come with becoming a super heroine.
Antigravity figure support- in all dimentions, figures are guaranteed never to sag, slope or fade over time until she retires.
Good Hair- sure it might get messed up but, never fear, a quick brush with her fingers and the nano tecnhology will fix things up as good as new.
Perfect smile- no matter what her condition her dentition was in before, she'll have a model's smile.
Strategically armored clothing- no matter what she hits with be it flame, ice, cosmic rays or megarads of radiation, she will always be guaranteed a bare minimum of modesty protection.
Strategically reinforced clothing- no matter the weather conditions, there will be NO embarassing see through or suggestiveness issues (particularly after those cold attacks.)

Not exactly the comfiest of undergarments but it doesn't show any lines...

Sorry, my inner-child wouldn't let it go. :P
