Nothing to it. You just force your entire lower half through the neck opening, past the boob window, make sure a foot doesn't accidentally go out the navel gazer, and finally your legs go out the leg holes.

It was the 90's. There were a lot of characters with pointless costume bands.

I'd like to think that she's wearing a full body suit, and is just making parts of it invisible as her costume. That's a much more practical solution than the idea that she puts the bands on.

That was also during the time when Reed was thought to be dead and Sue had merged with her Doppelganger and become a strong, independent woman. Or whatever the hell it was Defalco was writing.

I mean, it was part of an entire story arc about Sue being out of character because she was suffering from mental possession by an evil duplicate of herself, so it's kind of intended to be.

The costume itself - as awful as it is - has design elements mimicking those of Malice's (thigh/arm sleeves, bare midriff, collar) for that very reason.

Time travel. It's always time travel. In the FF Wedding Special, elderly Reed and Sue from the future gather a bunch of their past selves together for a gangbang anniversary party.

I'm not sure which part you're referring to there.

Her acting out of character being part of the actual story and very much intended to be read that way is much better than a writer just not understanding her character. I think even her dumb costume being intended to be a dumb costume that everyone in the comic comments on as being wildly inappropriate because it's intended to be foreshadowing is better than someone actually thinking it was a good revamp of her look.

S'what they did for Ultimate Dagger and the cartoons, apparently.
