Really? So if they disabled the concentric circles on the round shield, removed the Wolverine Claws weapon option and removed the Bat-Accessories, there "would not be much left"? OK, sport.
But what if I want a character with concentric circles on a round shield that isn't colored like Captain America's? How about if I decide to use those Batman-style 'finned' gloves as part of a reptilian or fish-man concept? I'd be annoyed if they ever pulled those pieces just to idiot-proof the game against people who can't use them as they were intended. Why should players who do follow the guidelines have their options artificially limited because of the ones who won't?
I think the devs look at it the same way. They put costume pieces in and trust us to use them in original ways, rather than removing anything that might be used to recreate an existing character. People who abuse that freedom run the risk of getting reported and generic'd.
Some people have this odd idea that as long as it's possible to do something in an MMO, the developers must be OK with it. It's pretty obvious that this isn't usually the case.
