What color is Superman's underwear?

[Cybertooth]

I'm bored...

Poll to follow.

[Hermit]

He strikes me as a "tidy whitey" type of guy... cornfed Kansas raised etc.

Of course, Lois may have cured him of that... who knows?

Well he did state that he "likes" pink underwear in the Superman movie. :think:

And Green Arrow liked fishnet stockings, it doesn't mean he wanted to wear them :D

I concur, he's gotta be wearing white briefs. Too stereotypically midwestern Americana not to...

[McCoy]

I suspect he goes commando under the tights.

[Roy_The_Ruthles]

superman seems like a white briefs sorta guy. especially since he's the defender of the american way

[BigJackBrass]

Red, obviously. The alien loon wears them outside his tights, so how can there be any debate?

Is that "going comman-D'oh!"?

[hooligan x]

Wait, that wasn't funny. Sorry.

[McCoy]

Wait, that wasn't funny. Sorry.
Yes it was.

[gewing]

Yes it was.


I have to agree.


:D

[assault]

Red, obviously. I mean, he wears them on the outside so everyone can see them. I can't see why there's an argument...

[Black Lotus]

Thighty-whities. No doubt in my mind.

[Cybertooth]

It's a good thing this poll wasn't about Batman's underwear. :nonp:

The concensus is that it's tighty whities, so far. Nevertheless, I contend that when it comes to Supes being Clark Kent it's boxers all the way. They are probably the old fashion kind with snaps over the fly too. :D

[caris]

Every day wear, I'm not sure.

Under the tights though, it would either be a "dance belt" or free ballin'.

[BigJackBrass]

It's a good thing this poll wasn't about Batman's underwear. :nonp:

Ah well, that would be even more interesting. Given the hair-shirt nature of that angst-ridden insomniac I imagine that hair-knickers would be the order of the day. Uh, night.

[Log-Man]

Wow...you really were bored, weren't you? :winkgrin:

[Hawksmoor]

I gotta go with simple athletic supporter on this one. Sure Supes is invulnerable but you gotta keep the twig and berries concealed from the prying eyes.

Chris Connelly had it right in Batman Forever.

Armor plating goes on the location 13

Every kid who ever played Superman knows his underwear is Red and worn outside the rest of the costume and thus is technically overwear.

[zornwil]

White, as others said, it's his traditional upbringing. No way is he going commando, either, he knows that "if he gets hit by a car" he wouldn't want to be embarrassed. (Then he says to himself, "waitaminute...", but he's a good boy even as an adult)

[BobGreenwade]

You didn't allow an entry for "other." Personally I'd go with boxers, either in gold lame or white with little red hearts. (But that's just me.)

[keithcurtis]

Gotta go with white boxers with red hearts or polka dots. Either that or red longjohns with the flap in the back.

He's a funnybook character, fer Jigg's Sake!

You mean Keith "Gonna Get a Mouthful of Super-Fist" Curtis?

Dude... you guys who voted for Tighty-Whities, just because he was raised in Smallville, are way off base in understanding the mindset that went behind the creation of Superman.

He is so totally free-balling it. Alien super-men from the Planet-X, wear capes, strong-man unitards, and that's it.

I bet you guys think he's wearing socks, too. Suckers. Isn't it obvious that a Kryptonian unitard would have feet?

The big question you should be asking yourself, is why does he need a belt? He's not wearing any pants. Is it to make him look slimmer? ...more manly? Is it like a weight lifting thing?

In all seriousness, I think Superman's dark secret is the fact that he wears Boba Fet Underoos.

Hold that thought while I recreate the best spoof ad I have ever seen in my life.

Okay, done. :D

Originally created by Mark Shuler as a Heroclix Billboard. I can't find his work, but here is my 5 minute version that gets the same point across. ;)

Prod, you're giving me some thoughts... If you can find a larger version of that image, I will gladly play Graphic Artist to do that billboard sign. (I'm certified! BA in Digital Media!)

[Patriot]

How about boxers or breifs!

[zornwil]

Briefs.

I'll see what I can do. The first time I saw it on Mark's page, I fell out of my chair laughing. :)

Commando. They have no concept of underwear on Krypton.

(This is why it was one of the top 5 tourist destinations for humanoid types before it blew up)

[Hyper-Man]

is everyone colorblind?

they are obviously RED!:smoke:

(This is why it was one of the top 5 tourist destinations for humanoid types before it blew up)Irrelevant. He was born on Krypton, but grew up in Kansas.

Personally, I'd say he wears the previously described boxers as Clark (Keith and I do both agree on the red-hearts pattern), and briefs (probably either red or plain white) as Superman.
