¿Question #802?
EndersGame: If Superman is so smart, why does he wear his underwear on the outside?

Bunchwacky: Prevents wedgies.
Archive77: Superman being smart is a cultural thing - he's not quite all there, as he is susceptible to mind control (frequently).
Woelf: It stays cleaner that way.
Tom Good: less air resistance
pwilz: If I were Superman, I wouldn't wear any clothes at all.
GrrBlarg: To distract attention from his face (how else would people not recognize him? The glasses? Really? Glasses?)
Spirit of 70: I believe he does it because he can.
MrZoz: lack of modesty
joebelanger: To hold his cell phone.
GrimJester: The chicks dig it.
Frubgarde: Being a superhero, he has perfect bowel/bladder control. Concealment is therefore unnecessary.
DKahnt: ... he's an alien
Hector Vortac: Nothing to do with smarts: Intimidation.
ZeroZilla: *drum sting*
KrisVerbeeck: He doesn't have to change them that way
TheDS: so he doesn't get his clothes dirty
Commandex: so its easy to change
CharmlessMan77: You have to admit it works for him. He gets the ladies!
MotUfan: He's also an arrogant jerk, and he's just waiting for some fool to comment on it.
atrium: It's not underwear, but actually part of the design of the costume itself.
Lord Ramius: fashionstatement
jtrleone: to get the lady's attention
aceraxon: Duh! That's how you're SUPPOSED to do it. He's the only one smart enough to figure it out!
Numskull: For the same reason that he dodges the gun when the bad guy throws it at him, AFTER seeing all the bullets bounce off his body.
DHEK: That's part of his superhero uniform. He really wears an actual underwear underneath that suit.
Butterbane: fashion sense
Cmot Dribbler: no one ever said superman was smart!
Ebon Wendigo: Kryptonian style
arkibet: because you'd be scared too, if you saw that bulge.
aleo09: remember his parents gave him that suit. it's sentimental.
Yourgames: an extra pair...just in case...
Mike A: His mom died when he was a baby and didn't have the chance to teach him properly. His adoptive parents thought it was some alien thing. Give him a break.
fteplin: Intelligence doesn't always equal fashion sense.
hob69: He doesn't.
stevegamer: He's not smart.
MarvelNemesis: Going commandos his style!
Cut & Space: If you're so intelligent, why do you wear them in the inside... And stop bugging Superman.
dragonewtking: makes you wonder what he knows that we don't, doesn't it?
rawdawg: I dont wear my undies on the outside...............
mrspank: He does? I'll have to watch more closely next time.
defcon311: Because you would see lines if he wore it beneath!
POvidiusNaso: Why should the one preclude the other?
Kasper: otherwise the inside gets dirty
tipigi: to accentuate the bulge?
confuse_a_cat: It's actually a very clever move. It causes his enemies to underestimate him, as they point at him and say, "Hey, look at the moron! He can't even dress himself!" It also serves as a distraction (especially for the female supervillains) and makes their defeat even more humiliating.
banjoseamonkey: If you're so smart, why don't you?
LemonyFresh: He's /that/ smart.
ZombyDawg: "Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look! Up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Superman! Yes, it's Superman - strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman - who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands, and who disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a neverending battle for Truth, Justice, and the American Way." Nope, doesn't say anything about being smart. He's just a strange guy from way out of town so what do you expect?
TiannaStarfall: Why not?
SatanicEssence: Or at all?
skrutsch: That's a secret.
PSXfile: Because he doesn't have to wash them
jellospike: So we can see it's Super-clean
Great Dane: I blame Joe Shuster
Beorning: Because going commando would be inappropriate.
Dante_Cubit: To hide the horrible unitard-look.
kevinfelker42: It accents his crotch without the whole suit being over bearing.
Thedalek: Because it's bullet-proof.
warpozio: it is funky this way
Gecko23: To avoid chaffing.

Lord_Prussian: Indeed
puffinge: Hey, it's dead sexy.
berserkley: what do his skidmarks look like?
snoozefest: it's not underwear
stephensj23: He was not smart. Batman was smart; Batman's a scientist.
jmagnini: some kinda super hero wardrobe laws
thoia: He's from a different planet man. Give him a break, that's probably fashionable there.
gnomehome: Sigh
erli: Babes! He does it for the ladies.

Ludocrazy: And here I thought they were really tiny shorts all this time
haraggan: Because it's damn fine underwear
Reloaded: aerodynamics baby, aerodynamics...
djlg: I think you're confusing muscles with brains. Most superheroes are stoopid.

CortexBomb: Because he's not actually that smart?
Flyspeck23: He's strong and he can fly. Who said he's smart?
MisterCranky: Because he erroneously assumes that everybody else has X-ray vision too, and he's just a lazy prick.
TomVasel: I'm confused as to who thinks that Superman is smart?
jttm: So it doesn't get dirty. See? He is smart...
queequeg: dunno
skelebone: I think since Superman can beat me into a slurry, he can wear his underwear where he damned well pleases.
