Is it me or are Super Heroes wearing tights and capes cliche (and gay) or is it just me?

Also wouldn't someone like Superman want to blend in as much as possible to avoid anyone tracking him? All someone would have to do is manage to get a tracking bug on him to eventually track and determine his identity. Hiding in plain sight is one thing. Being as obvious as it gets? And after all those years someone would eventually see Superman changing into his super suit!

What purpose does a cape serve to a super hero? Fashion statement? If it was a cape of invisibility or did something cool I could understand. And don't get me started on Batman! What was up with him and his Boy Wonder? I sure don't want to wonder what those two do in their off time.

It's to wipe off the ketchup when they order a Super-sized burger meal. :)

and the tights?
For the benefit of the women (better view )

Hi pretty lady!! Nice to see you around again!

Thank you. I'm happy to see you're here.

Yes, it's been almost a year again. I come on for a year... I go away for a year... seems to be a habit for me.

Unfortunately, it seems others left as well. I guess that means I spend more time making new friends... and that's always a good thing.

A whole bunch of people left....but some of us just can't seem to leave for more than short times.

I hope everything is going well with you.

Cmon, man... Really?!

Standing out & tracking-
Superheros haven't a reason to remain anonymous. It can be surmised that superheros are quite vain in that respect, "Hey, look at me! You can't touch this cause I'm a superhero!" If you were a superhero, would you want to hide it? I think NOT! Ever notice any superheros with mingle accounts? Nope. They don't need one.
And do you really think Superman wouldn't notice anyone trying to place a tracking device on him? I bet if you asked him, it would go something like this- "If I had a nickel for every time someone tried to place a tracking device on me..."

Capes-
Aside from actual functionality for some superheros, it is part of the uniform. Would you trust a carpenter without a tool belt? How about a mechanic that wears a leisure suit? So, then, how about a superhero without a cape? Makes sense, now, doesn't it?
And why a cape? I'm sure you'll have to agree that they are the only ones that can pull that off. Put a cape on George Clooney; he's even more cheesy than usual. Put a cape on Superman; now, that just works.

But then you dogg Batman and the Boy Wonder. That's the cherry that makes me think somebody is just a little jealous. What they do on their off time can't be anything less than legendary.
Just imagine a night where Batman lets you use his bike. If a pile of bras and panties aren't holding your broken bed off the floor the next morning, you are in the same league as The Penguin. It wouldn't be difficult to research, I'll bet Batman has a running tab at the furniture store.

Who cares if they are sexy...

Oh bummer

NO CAPES!

Oh, and once you get your hands on Kryptonite killing Superman would be easy. Put a piece in a lead bullet and commit a crime. Superman shows up, you point your gun at him. Since he can't see through lead he won't see what hides inside the bullet. Point the gun at him and he will puff up his chest and smile. Squeeze the trigger. Bullet hits Superman's chest, lead sheaths off, Krytonite penetrates his body. Superman gets a stunned look on his face, and he dies. One more "SUPER BEING" falls to his weakness. Of course there also is artificial red sun light too! But that is when you just have a bunch of really pissed off men beat his azz to death under the red glow.

Likewise there are other ways to hide your identity rather than some outrageous gay costume.



An all black leather ensemble with a black helmet and visor. Talk about intimidating. Not seeing your adversaries face? Psychological warfare! And beating batman is not as hard as comic books make it out to be. His face is not protected. Pepper spray followed by a .357 magnum to the head. GAME OVER! At least pepper spray is worthless on someone wearing a motorcycle helmet but Spray Paint can be an issue.

I used to play a game called Champions and it was so much more fun being the bad guy! I sucked being the good guy. However being the bad guy...

Haha that outfit is considered lame when it's used as the costume for the killer in a slasher flick(See- Nail Gun Massacre, Welcome To Spring Break).

On Halloween I dressed in my Motorcycle jacket, Black on black helmet, black boots, carrying a huge Machete. I would stand in plain sight in his haunted house. There was a fake pile of bodies in the room I was in. Now my face had makeup on. My eyes had black rings around them as well as strange red marker scrawling on my face. People would be looking at the pile of bodies ignoring me standing in plain sight. It was hard standing totally still. I opened the face shield to reveal my face when people were not looking and I would tap them on the shoulder with the machete held up with the craziest eye popping glare I could give them.

Want to talk about watching people run their azzes off to the sound of a blood curdling scream? The person I would tap would look back at me and scream followed by the rest suffering a fear impulse. I made one woman pee herself badly. It was so hard remaining stiff as a board for the scare and impossible to not laugh after sending four to six people in flight.

I miss Halloween when it was fun! My brother had a outfit where he would blend into the trees and pop out on people and by God he scared so many people that way. Even hardened wannabe gangstas would run from him yelling "tree man was going to get them."
