Sorry those are from a japanese spider-man show, here's the american version:


I always liked this origin for the suit, even if the execution of the scene is a bit cheesy:

I agree.That is the best looking suit that superman wore in my opinion.
how do explain martha being able to make a costume (hopefully something that looks really good) composed out of a variety of materials (skin tight bodysuit, shorts, boots, cloth-like cape) all out of the same blankets?
As I stated in an earlier post, the explanation was that the costume and cape was made from the blankets which stretched, and the boots and belt were made from the interior of the ship he was sent in. She wove the blankets apart and fashioned the costume with some help from Clark.

Ha, that's interesting. I honestly didn't see your earlier posts and didn't realize it was made from more than just the blankets. Intersting.
Because he couldnt buy a pair of red boots and a yellow belt? Jeez, did he even make condoms out of his kryptonian stuff?As I stated in an earlier post, the explanation was that the costume and cape was made from the blankets which stretched, and the boots and belt were made from the interior of the ship he was sent in.

well if u got with the aura deal and/or say his invul powers protect his clothing/boots i dont think it would matter where the boots came from. But for me i like them to have the suit be earthly made of earth materals, maybe keep the blanket idea with a compromise like only one blanket and it becomes his cape maybe.
i get your points kuro on what you like we both have our opinion on things like the blankets vs aura stuff. All i would like to see is a nice combining/compromising on things and use the best stuff from superman as a whole and make a well rounded movie out of things.
Every one of his powers exists because of his exposure to our sun. That's why he loses them when he is exposed to red sun radiation that drives the yellow sun one out, like carbon monoxide does to the oxygen in our bloodcells. And that's why your gravity explanation doesnt work.I think the forcefield/aura is lame. Makes him Unus the Untouchable. I'd rather his tissue just be that dense due to Krypton's insane gravity.
So his suit can do that? And that doesnt make him Unus the Untouchable?You can't fly through the sun in boots you buy at Target.
Awesome post!The aura thing is not lame. It`s reality.
"When you revamped Superman and gave him a force-field around his body, did you do that because you wanted to get away from the "indestructible" costume thing? Did you catch much slack for this new "power"?
JB: No, to both. A few months before I started work on Superman, I'd read a book called "The Secret House" (which I highly recommend, though I sadly cannot remember the name of the author.) This book tells all about the strange and amazing things that happen in the world around us, things of which we are mostly oblivious (How they make chocolate cake, for instance. Shudder.) One of the things that was most interesting was the fact that the bioelectric energy of the human body generates a field of energy around all of us, very low wattage and very close to the skin. (This is not Kirillian photography, btw. This is real science.) Apparently, were it not for this field, we would be covered with dust and grime all the time. I extrapolated this for Superman, as a justification for him wearing a skintight (to be inside the field) costume. (4/25/1998)"
Best explanation ever for the costume. I`d rather this than some ridiculous notions of indestructible material from Krypton... One more thing post-crisis improve on Pre-crisis concepts.
A super advanced race like the Kryptonians had trouble launching a spaceship?I think they should stress the harsh environment and gravity of Krypton and how hard it was to blast the ship off of it. Birthright did a great job of that. If they use Kandor, Superman should tell Lois (or whoever) is there that the gravity would grind a human to dust in seconds.
Excellent post. I agree with this. I find the aura thing a bit "easy" but I think the idea is very good anyway. and when the suit is destroyed, partially or not, it means , for me, that something has penetrated his aura (Doomsday for example), that gives more reliability to the invulnerabilty for me.The aura thing is not lame. It`s reality.

Or they can just write a good superman story and stop worrying about explaining everything. Lets not get pedantic here.For the life of me i have no idea how clark would figure out about the aura otherwise? I mean as the post above says all humans have something like this but i doubt most people are aware of it.
