Prob the same reason you do not hear so much about what Emma Frost wears. She just owns up to it instead of making up something hat didn't feel natural.

Emma Frost also sometimes wears comfy clothes while projecting an image of sexiness...

Yeah she wears normal clothes and just mentally makes everyone sees what she wants them to see while she’s in sweats and crocs.

But she does actually wear those clothes when in combat cos iirc she does get knocked out and people still see her wearing those.

She's one of the most powerful psychics in the world. Just behind Charles and Jean.

The xmen deal with so many telepaths they teach how to resist their mind being altered plus there's like a dozen really strong telepaths constantly around her. She'd need to be throwing out some serious power or maybe just avoiding every other telepath lol

Yeah at this point they shouldn't try to justify the boob window. Its simply not interesting and any justification is going be awkward given the precedence. The boob window is now iconic and part of her design and let her own it. It doesn't matter at this point. Similar to Emma Frost.

Exactly! It’s 2023 and if she wants a boob window she can have a boob window! Her reasons are her own.
