The old-timey comicbook superheroes were modelled on sideshow strongmen, who bent iron rods with their bare hands and such, and all tended to wear capes and tight costumes with shorts on the outside.

I want a serious superman with a super bulge. Stop making it flat and hidden. Give me the nipple armor and the dick bulge and the fat cheeks

It’s better to wear them on the outside, they stay cleaner that way

We are talking about USians after all.

That’s just how they did things on Krypton.

Counterpoint: 2014 is wearing a thong. Look at those high straps.

If you’re going to replace the trunks, there still needs to be something red there. The contrast makes the suit visually pop.

Emperor has no cloths situation. No one wanted to criticize the godlike alien beings fashion sense to his face.

Don’t understand, he is a Superman it is us doing it wrong.

… Is that Dean Cain?

Are you sure?

I feel like the progression implies that he stopped wearing it.
