Okay, look, they are made of a special fabric that, when it comes in contact with Superman's bioelectric field, takes on the properties and durability of Superman himself. Outside of that field they are indistinguishable from regular cloth and since the cape regularly is outside of that field it tears much easier.

:colbert:

(actually I'm pretty sure that has been a canon excuse at some point.)

This, only it wasn't a special fabric, it was just anything tight enough to be within like a millimetre of his skin.

A superhero whose powers only work when they're naked? I don't think that concept has been explored (I could well be wrong).

Kind of hard to verify, since her power provides clothes. Is she actually naked, and the clothes are part of her skin? Can she take off a hat she acquired via shapeshifting? These are the biggest questions in comics.

I do recall in Mystique's solo book she makes a fake test tube of goop in her pocket with her powers, and comments she made it the same way she does glasses and the like.

So yeah, always technically naked.

And on a DC note, given that Green Lantern costumes are projected by the ring, I wonder how often Guy Gardner showed up freeballin'...

There's Girl One in Top Ten too. She has chameleon-type skin, so just creates colour patterns on it.

And then she punches out her Sergeant. Because he's a dog with human-level intelligence and she just realised he's colour-blind and never mentioned it....

His explanation is that he's a dog, he's attracted to other dogs, so her being naked to him didn't really have any effect.

But then he ends up dating a human later anyway...

Someone post something badass from Top 10. I can only think of stuff for the funny or heartwarming threads right now, and don't have the books with me to find more.

Like 2 pages after he gives that explaination Sarge is talking to... Duane I think? Cowboy guy anyway, and the conversation pretty much goes "I told her I'm not attracted to humans, I'm seeing a borzoi" "and she bought that?" "Yep", so he ends up dating a human woman because he was lying about only being atracted to other dogs.

Man, out of context this sounds like a really creepy thing to talk about.

If I had access to my copies I'd post badass panels of Joe Pi defeating Atoman, or Smax taking on Comissioner Ultima. But I dont.

The bit I liked most about Girl One (besides maybe the spoiled sequence) is when her co-workers finally meet her "parents" for the first time, and it's two white neckbeard guys who made her in their lab, and then raised her to be a naked science super-asian.

IIRC they are quite realistically disconcerted by this, and don't want to discuss it any further.
