I don't think the dislike for the cutout costume has to do with "Oh, what will the children think?" outrage. It's more like having a mom dressed like her daugher, as seen on Jerry Springer. "Mo-ooommmmm! You're so embarassing me!..." And like it or not, Sue Richards has been (appropriately) percieved as the mom of the first family of the Marvel Universe.

There's certainly no shortage of female superheroes who go into battle with armor everywhere but their middrift (?), so why can't Sue be the rare dressed-down superheroine*?

*Aside from Rogue, Spider-Woman and Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers), that about covers it, so to speak.
