    So, Superman's suit...

    I've been wondering how/where he keeps his suit under his clothes...

    I mean, when he's wearing his "work suit" (i.e. as "Clark" at the Daily Planet), he could probably keep most of it under his business suit (except for the red boots).

    But what about when he's wearing other clothes?

      Well, in Superman II, he has it on under his business suit, at least on one occasion:

      And in Superman The Movie, he changed in a revolving door:

        When you're fast enough to reverse time, "brief nudity" takes on an entirely different meaning.

        Same goes for the Flash, really. He keeps his suit in a ring and changes on the fly.

          He could reverse time, but couldn't catch two missiles headed in opposite directions.

          And depending on which version you watch, he did the "reverse time" thing twice.

            At one point, Sups was keeping his costume in some sort of super-compressed something-or-other, and he used his super-speed to change on the fly (so to speak).

                Its been said several times in the comics that he keeps his regular clothes in a pocket in his cape.

                  I don't think so, more like Batmanian tech. I just wonder how he keeps it from getting wrinkled when it's super-compressed.

                    Cold breath (regulated to be not THAT cold) to establish humidity, then carefully-controlled heat vision to warm it up. A quarter of a second to press it all with his hands and get back into the civvie clothes. Also, "wrinkle-free" fabrics might help, too. In most versions, nobody is gonna expect Clark Kent of all people to be wearing fashionable wear. They'll be expecting him to wear cheap polyester and crap.

                      Not while he was a TV newscaster, they wouldn't! He was on the Daily Globe's newscast back in... uh... the 80's, I think. Or maybe the 90's. You don't wear cheap crap on TV!

                          There is also the problem of Superman's other suit, the paternity suit.
