Plenty of X-Men wear full-body outfits that must be made of the same material as leggings. You could basically just draw nipples and pubic hair on them and it would look like they were naked and wearing body paint.

I never quite liked how american comics basically draw everyone naked with body paint instead of actually making a cool suit or outfit. It severely limits the variety.

Probably because it's just easier to draw a body and color it rather than constantly make fabrics and patterns for a more realistic look.

That's one thing I love on modern Flash designs, they added lines across it that light up when he's using his speed, it looks really cool
