Youthful exuberance, a wish for attention/fame and not necessarily a good sense of design or colour.

>>88616702
Theatrics.

>>88616931
Fucking Cho always ruining good visual gags with unnecessary speech bubbles. We got the joke dude, you didn't have to explain it.

Not only funnier, but also classier. Well, as classy as a tit joke can be.

Which universe?

>>88616702
Because why the hell not?
Actually, a few heroes and villains have explained why. For the heroes it's because that's their symbol. Superman wouldn't be quite as striking if he wore a t-shirt and jeans though casual Supes is probably my favourite costume
As for villains, the one's that aren't bugfuck crazy/need their costumes to control their powers, it kind of legitimizes them. Heatwave, a Flash villain, basically summed it up as "if I run around burning houses down, I'm an arsonist. If I do it while wearing a costume, I'm a supervillain".

>>88617620
Sure, I can see that. A few psychos/narcissists/weirdos get the cape thing rolling, and by the time anyone starts questioning it, it's too late to change anything.

This. Don't lie to yourself /co/, if you could get away with wearing colored spandex than you would.

This is basically true in real life.

Kinda, yeah. Another big thing for the heroes, especially the ones like the JSA who started the whole thing, was that they needed to protect their identities but still look like good guys. They would have to dress in such a way that if they stopped a bunch of thugs from mugging a woman, it was clear that they weren't just a one-man mugging operation. Dressing up in colourful outfits shows that they didn't want to hide in the shadows. Of course, you could also just argue that they looked like festive rapists.
Still, floating around in a giant purple cape and smiting shit with green light probably has a better effect than doing the same thing while wearing a balaclava and a trench coat.

No, those guys tend to skew towards darker colors.

Poor lucky little bird.

>>88616702
Reduces drag, also gives them an image.

Spider-Man dresses in bright fucking red and blue and looks like a warrior with the way the red goes over him like armor. So why is hated so much by the general populace?

theatricality. Bats wants to be spooky.Supes wants to be friendly

To be a symbol/marketability/they need a uniform depending on the hero or villain.

Also it helps to be able to tell motherfuckers apart. Can you imagine a hero v hero dustup with everyone in street clothes? Fuck me I doubt Batman could tell his Robins apart out of costume.

>Modeled after a non-friendly animal
>Can contort his body in very unnatural ways as he's super limber
>He STICKS to things
>Anyone not close to him doesn't know his webbing isn't real.
>Can crawl up the side of a 10 story building in SECONDS
>bug-eyed mask
>Sixth sense bordering on pre-cog

You tell me.

To draw attention to themselves. For villains it's because their massive egos demand that they be the center of attention. For the heroes it's to draw attention to themselves, and away from the innocent bystanders they are trying to protect.

Selling toys.

I like this explanation. If you get super powers, you are inherently a pervert, or are transformed into a pervert. New canon

Spider-Man was 15 and made what a nerdy fuckin teen thought is a cool costume.

He was right.

>>88616702
To stop the public from being afraid of them. If they just wore tactical black suits all the time, people would be suspicious and wary of them, with bright spandex they show they're nonthreatening and probably get more fans who like their costume aesthetics/theme.

>Spiders are actually super friendly, people just have phobias
>Spidey is tall, slender, and built as fuck, and always wearing spandex that shows off everything
>Everything
>Bubble butt
Theres a reason bitches love Spiderman

>>88619854
Don't forget, with the full face mask his actions can seem a little crazy and schizophrenic, joking around one minute and punching your shit in the next.

If there's at least one good thing the first Amazing film did, it's capturing how Spidey can seem intimidating from time to time.

High tech suits are made up of spandex and tights.
