I'd make it more like armor instead of tights with underwear. I'd completely get rid of the classic red & blue costume & make it more like armor & get rid of the underwear. Superman is a great hero but his costume is holding him back. If not armor, he should wear his black & white costume all the time.

The costume is iconic. When they changed it in the 90s for a few years everyone hated it and complained.

I wouldn't complain. I'm a big fan of Superman but I honestly wouldn't mind if he stopped wearing underwear on the outside of his costume.

You're one of the few.

Yeah, maybe on this forum but there may be a lot of people who agree with me. I don't hate the classic costume, I just wouldn't mind if it were changed.

Why would Superman need armor? Bullets bounce off his skin...

And while I wouldn't mind seeing Superman get "Back in Black", as others have said, his costume is iconic... When you say Superman, that's what people think...

It's not like with Batman, where you can change the color scheme (black, black-grey, blue-grey, etc.)

I've alway wondered why no one complains about Batman's costume. He has the same thing going on.

Armor can make for great costumes.

Well Superboy Prime had armor to feed him yellow sunlight to make himself more powerful, Superman could use something like that if he was fighting under a red sun or something.

That could work but if his costume is to be changed, instead of armor, I'd go with the black & white suit.

Why the hell would Superman where armour?

Like I said, maybe to prevent him from losing power under a red sun like Superboy Prime did

That would tie in with a plot in which it would make sense for him to wear armour, sun light absorption armour. The guy who made this thread just said his costume should be changed, why would he fly around metropolis in armour is what I mean, would be redundant. It would just get crushed and broken every time he had to fight. Where as he can wear skin tight spandex which is indestructible due to his aura and not have to worry about fighting naked.

Id try to have him keep his classic comic weaknesses rather that him getting stronger to overcome them, it just seems wierd to have him too.... too.... super

Green K needs to be completely forgotten about. His main weakness should be magic & instead of him being totally invincible his enemies should be able to hurt him.

the way doomsday, brainiac and darkseid can?

I like the classic costume, but i wouldn't mind if they mixed it up a bit like make his sleeves extend so they lead into gloves. Kind of make his costume look a little cooler, or more practical, kind of like ultimate Captain America from Ultimates 2

Yeah, he should take more beatings from people on or above his level of power instead of taking beatings from a bald man with a green rock.

Well one thing is that he shouldn't be able to beat Darkseid like they've been having him do

he gets into physical fights all the time...

I know, but from what I know most of the time he's holding back.

Id keep the classic costume but modify it slightly. Id keep the red and blue costume but maybe design it in a similar way to how Majestic is. That, or I would remove the speedos and replace them with shorts (similar to those in All star Superman) Id probably return the mullet, asl i just think it makes him look more impressive, and id definitely have the longer cape.

If hes going to have a biolectrical aura, relate it to his ability to warp space and defy gravity. Id make the biological super conductor, theorised in Mark Wolvertons (And providing with his ability to react immensely fast, and defy gravity) book cannocial. Id also give him an organ that allows him to warp space immensely, therefore allowing him to act as a gravity lens, (therefore sucking solar radiation in like a whirl pool in water), and allow him to pick up immensely heavy masses without them collapsing on themselves.

If the biolectrical aura is going to be spatial in nature, it can't envelope his costume as it currently does (I.e. it will push away his costume like it pushes away bullets, punches e.t.c.). Therefore to make the costume sustainable i suggest making it molecular dense and self repairing.

Krypton works by causing the stored radiation stored, to be release in a most painful and deadly fashion (i.e. Kyptonite deadliness is affected by how much solar radiation he has absorbed).

Red Solar radiation inhibits his biological-superconductive nervous system from working, therefore decreasing his speed, durability and preventing his muscles and space-warping organ, from gaining the needed and necessary stored energy.

He no longer has x-Ray vision but sees through objects by adapting his eyes to access able radiation.

Id give him a healing factor and immune system on par with Wolverines, and his cells will be molecular dense due to krypton's immense gravity.

Krypton should be a neutron star, that was created into a planet by the Guardians of the universe, in a genetically experiment to create a race of indestructible corp members. The experiment back fires when the Kryptonians became too powerful to control. They became intergalactic conquerors, but where restricted to their home world after a great galactic civil war (The house of El and guardians fought together to end the kryptonian Empire).

Kryptonains use their Gravity lens ability to literally Solar feed. They use their space-warping organ to suck in huge amounts of solar radiation (far more than Superman is currently capable of doing), from a massive spatial volume. Kryptonians don't gain powers on krypton due to the effects of Red-Solar Radiation (As mentioned previously)

Really, I'd get rid of the red & blue & use a color like black & gold or black & white. I'd also get rid of the cape.

only when he can... against the likes of doomsday, bozarro and darkseid he can't afford to...

Lick.My.Nuts

Anyway, yeah, I know there are certain people he doesn't hold back against. Does he ever hold back against Mongul.

not cool dude... try not to do it again...

and no, he doesnt hold back against mongul, physically at least...

If he says something else, I will do it again.

What's up with Doomsday & Mongul anyways?

wonderful attitude to have... but abuse will get you a warning.

doomsday and mongul have high durability, so he needs to hit them pretty hard to hurt them...

Meh.

I meant what have they been doing in comics lately.

Say something else? I didn't even insult you. I told you the truth.

If someone was adamant about changing Superman's looks in the way you suggested, they'd get fired and replaced.

"Lick my nuts" really wasn't even nearly called for, and was very demonstrative of your maturity. .

doomsday was last seen (as far as i know) in infinite crisis #7, getting a beat-down by the two supermen...

last time i saw mongul he was getting beat up by hal jordan pre infinite crisis...

I make Superman like Spiderman, but that would be copyright so i would Japanize him

What the hell.....?

And then you would call him Black Adam.

lol he will never change in looks, but i think there's room to make more a loof, he realizes that there's a grey area of right and wrong making his decisions even more harder to guess, like who lives and dies, superman may start letting villains perish depending on how dangerous he thinks they are and so on, it would make him more spontaneous and overall a more humanized superman,... because he hangs around them a lot
