Would you wear your underwear... (page 2)

It it gave me superpowers I might consider purchasing some supercute knickers, since they don't I'm happy to go without.

Yes, it seems a bit odd; and I imagine especially so to someone who is accustomed to wearing a kilt with no underwear at all.

Perhaps it's to provide contrast, in order to minimise the appearance of the superhero's "package" in a spandex costume. Alternatively, it may have been the fashion among young men in the 1930s when the first modern superheroes appeared. Or maybe it's because most of the time, superheroes are wearing their "civvies" over their costumes, in which case the underwear is on the inside. (Wearing underwear underneath the costume would make it difficult to use urinals or readjust oneself.)

Of course, none of the above explains why Wonder Woman dresses like a cheap hooker on the 4th of July.

The outside pair is just a spare! One sometimes needs a spare when fighting off other super-evil-heroes. One has a tendancy to mess oneself when first encountering a kryptonite carrying bad guy.
