Top 5 Greatest Superheroes in Underwear

Superheroes are not only a great symbol of power and justice, but also a great symbol for wearing your underwear outside your clothes.
The superhero costumes with underwear have been cut down in recent movies, but I know some superheroes will simply always be remembered for their original appearances with underwear.

Scroll down through my list of the top 5 superheroes in underwear, and let me know if you missed any of your favorites!

5. Wolverine


I know Wolverine now is just Hugh Jackman ripping his shirt off and killing people. That’s cool and all, but the original Wolverine from the X-Men cartoons and comics was way more underwear-savvy.

4. Wonder Woman


Wonder Woman’s pretty cool for sort-of sporting underwear. Most female superheroes are drawn up to have watermelon sized breasts and costume with the coverage area of a fig leaf, but Wonder Woman just wears modest underwear and kicks ass.

3. The Incredibles


This is a definitely underwear fan family with incredible super powers. They wear red spandex costume with a black brief.

2. Batman and Robin


Chris Nolan might not have let poor Batman keep his undies on, but the original Adam West Batman costume and Robin costume have underwear outside.

1. Superman


Superman is the superhero of superheroes. His appearance is distinctive and iconic. The classic superman costume consisting of  a blue costume, red brief, red cape, and stylized red-and-yellow "S" shield on his chest. This shield and the red brief are often used to symbolize the character. It’s really a regret that Zack Snyder takes off Superman’s underwear in ‘Man of Steel’

Why do superheroes wear underwear over their pants?

A question about the superhero costumes that I've had for a long time, guess lot of you like me would have had the same question: Why do superheroes wear underwear over their pants?

Here I got some amazing answers below:

1. Because he can gift his underpants to every hot chick who wants one. He doesn’t need to get naked. This could have been the weirdest reason ever but one of the best too.

2. It’s also said that wearing underwear above pant is "a tradition of strong-men everywhere". Not sure about who said that or in which century but heard some gossip about it.

3. Briefs provide some additional coverage, so that a man wearing tights/leggings appears more intimidating, without adding dangerous baggy fabric.

4. Tights/leggings are practical crime-fighting bottoms. They fit into boots, they stretch, and they're not bulky. And wearing underwear above the tights will be more intimidating and attractive. In polished words, that's how strong-men's costume remains.
