Other than Wonder Woman, what superheros don't wear pants?

Question

(and tights don't count!)

Answer 1

When he was first introduced, Robin didn’t wear tights, only short-shorts. When Supergirl was first introduced, she wore a skirt. Many of the superheroines of Femforce wear either short skirts or short-shorts. But I get the impression that you weren’t thinking of women when you asked your question.

There is a Marvel character called Martinex (a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy) who is made of pure silicon. He doesn’t wear any costume at all.

Other totally naked superheroes include Blackout. In the 1940’s he was covered completely with thick black fur. During the ‘blackouts’—times when a city lights were turned off, to prevent enemy bomber jets from being able to see where to drop bombs—he was able to go out and be perfectly ‘invisible’ and fight wartime spies.

Then there was Sasquatch, of Alpha Flight. He was twelve feet tall and covered with fur. For a long time, nobody wondered what happened to his clothes when he changed, and where they came back from when he changed back. Eventually, it was revealed that it was a supernatural transformation, not a scientific one. But he didn’t wear any costume either.

Dr. Manhattan of the Watchmen started wearing less and less of his costume, until he eventually gave it up completely. (He was so powerful, nobody was going to tell him what to do!) Though I always thought it would be cool to see him walk into a store that had a sign saying “No shirt, no shoes, no service”.

Technically, the Metal Men didn’t wear anything, but that’s because they were robots, and they weren’t anatomically correct anyway.

I don’t know if the liquid metal Terminator from T2 was ever in a comic (they might have had a one-shot), but that would count. It only SIMULATES wearing clothing.

Plastique was (very temporarily) a naked supervillainess. She tried to take over a tv studio for political reasons (to pitch the cause of Quebec separatism IIRC.) She had bombs strapped all over her body (this was way before suicide bombing was as common as it is now.) Firestorm the Nuclear Man stopped her. He used his atomic restructuring powers to turn her costume to oxygen, and she was too embarrassed to make any demands before the cameras.

Guys like Captain Atom and the Silver Surfer are shown wearing shorts, but there are not really any shorts. The liquid metal they are covered with (or ‘galactic glaze’, if you prefer) covers everything. That is a bit of artistic license, because otherwise they could not be shown under the Comics Code. Same goes for Galactus’ other herald, Nova, and for Aunt May when she was briefly a herald of Galactus (Golden Oldie.)

People like X-Men’s the Beast and Iceman probably don’t “really” wear shorts. But come on! Who really believes that spirits like Deadman and the Spectre wear clothes…?

There is a joke to the effect that, before Reed Richards invented unstable molecules, Sue Storm really objected to having to strip each time she wanted to be COMPLETELY invisible…!

Anyway, I hope that satisfies your prurient interests.

(Besides—under their costumes, they’re ALL NAKED…!)
