Super Fashion
We often take our superheroes for granted. We assume that just because they can fly, or shoot laser beams from their eyes or be the first one to be asked for directions in any given situation, that they are somehow not quite human. And, of course, they’re not. In that respect they are much like elves or Proclaimers. But we shouldn’t assume that because of this they are better than us, or without flaw. Take, for example, their clothes. Let’s face it – very few of us can get away with wearing skin-tight clothing. And I don’t see how possessing the ability to, say, wield magnetic forces, would alter this. Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spiderman’s ’spidey-sense’ tingles to alert him to imminent danger. It’s a damn shame his fashion sense doesn’t do the same thing.

Yes, it is right that the superheroes or the actor playing the role of superhero wears tight clothes, but it is all , the choice of directors. Well we haven't seem any superhero in realty. Well tight and well fitting clothes give an impressive look and help in actions.

You both make excellent points. In retrospect, I was a fool. (Or, perhaps, a 'phool').
Lycra for everybody!!
Nothing wrong with either look, in my opinion. The person who wears it has to be able to pull it off… -Omar
