Armor Is Useless? Why stop there? Why wear anything into battle? Anyone can be tough in Powered Armor, but it takes either a really badass hero or a really depraved villain to fight in the nude. The motivation for this tend to be different for heroes and villains. For villains, it's usually done for creepiness; instead of being silly or titillating it comes off as really, really scary. The nudity emphasizes brutality and aggression instead of being sexy. It can also indicate that the villain doesn't care at all what people think about him. He left normal human behavior, like modesty and shame, behind him, or maybe he has an Übermensch-complex. Or, very creepy indeed, that bloodshed turns him on, not to mention speculations about what might happen to someone who gets overpowered by a villai

Or, very creepy indeed, that bloodshed turns him on, not to mention speculations about what might happen to someone who gets overpowered by a villain who already enjoys fighting/stalking them naked... In any event, the naked villain generally is a Badass non-coat. Naked heroes generally don't really have a motivation because they generally don't choose to do it; when a good guy fights in the nude it's usually out of necessity, from their clothes being stolen or destroyed. This is why a naked hero tends to come off as badass, while a naked villain usually comes off as insane. For both alignments, nakedness can be associated with innocence and nature. The hero may be one with nature, while the villain isn't really human, more like a predatory animal or a natural disaster, see the fifth variant of True Neutral. Another part is that it seems reckless to go naked in the face of carnage or combat. It implies that the character is so powerful he doesn't need armor, or they just don't care about defence. See also Evil Is Sexy for villains who wear just enough... Not to be confused with military frontal assault, or anything of the kind done by Neo Zeon forces. Also not to be confused with Informed Equipment, the trope formerly known as Fight in The Nude. Oh, and a side note. When someone does this, its a good sign that they might be a Shameless Fanservice Girl. Has nothing to do with the masked guy from Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. Examples
