Hmm. Historical note: I think the original "Road Warrior" had the bad guys wearing leather fetish gear and spikes because that was scary heavy metal/biker imagery at the time. IIRC, That particular imagery came into heavy metal from one of my favorite classic metal bands, Judas Priest. (That's were the metal/biker connection came from, too). Judas Priest came up with that imagery because the lead singer, Rob Halford, was gay as fuck[*] (though he did not bother to announce it until years later), liked to wear leather fetish gear, and was a biker.

[*] akin to 'goth as fuck', which Judas Priest also were. As well as "metal as fuck", of course.
