Where'd the whole superhero thing come from, thats the question.
Zorro was probably the prototype. He had a cape, so maybe it came from that.
Athletes of the 30s wore shirts with thick belted swim trunks. Maybe thats where the briefs on the outside look came from.

Superman wore his briefs on the outside of his pants to add color, and break up the top and the bottom of his ensemble.

As you said. The tights are too tight to wear anything inside so he wore them outside. Did not want his B*lls hanging when he is flying

Because he needed something to hold on to his tights...otherwise they would have flown off thnx to the high speed in which he flies

To offset the blue top and bottom, and to match his cape. The yellow was just to give complement (NOT compliment) the red/blue colors.

they are not briefs,,,,,, they were space-age joggin shorts..... and the tights were in all reality, long-johns......
it was cold up on his home planet.... and he was a fitness buff who enjoyed a good mornin' run.

What kind of Question is this? Everyone knows that answer.
Superman did that to hide his true idenity as a woman! Try and come up with a better one next time please.

Either, the underpants were irritating, his groin or advertising for under wears!!
