But also: A costume with red underpants on the outside. Superman’s red underpants have been a part of his costume for the better part of a century, originating in his very first appearance in Action Comics #1.
Not only did this version continue the lack of the red underpants, it also did away with his classic red boots as well.
Through the years, he’s gotten some minor updates and upgrades, but the essential elements, including the underpants, remained set.
To mark the occasion, DC is giving the Man of Steel another new costume, this one with a decidedly retro vibe.
