The Superman suit is a protective suit worn by Clark Kent as the superhero Superman.
Overview[]
When Clark decided to become a superhero, he donned a blue suit, a red cape with golden clasps to hold it in place, and a large red and yellow emblem, the House of El's coat of arms, emblazoned on the chest, along with a red and yellow belt and red boots.[1] At some point, t-shirts were made modeled after this version of Superman's emblem.[2]
History[]
During the battle on Earth-Prime, Clark wore the suit in battle.[1]

Functions[]
- Cape: To help with Clark's flying, he relies on a cape to help him to turn for when he is flying; due to the fact that capes help with aerodynamics.[1]
- Advanced durability: It is unknown what materials the suit is comprised of, however, the suit is just as durable as Clark.
- Identity concealment: The Superman suit kept the wearer's identity concealed.[1]

Trivia[]
Cisco's t-shirt.
- Cisco Ramon owns a t-shirt with the Superman logo on it, which he didn't remember owning before the Crisis.[2]
- Unlike Superman's initial iconic suit in the DC comics, this suit doesn't have the red trunks, similar to Henry Cavill's Superman suit in the DC Extended Universe, which is a more modern interpretation. However, the suit has nods to the previous iterations of Superman but mostly resembles the New 52 Superman's ceremonial armor, sans the collar. The suit also has the feel of a spacesuit and the crest is similar to how it has been classically depicted by artist Dan Jurgens in the comics, especially in the Pre-New 52 era. Moreover, the way the cape clasps onto the suit is reminiscent of the Superman's look in the video game Injustice: Gods Among Us and of one of the suits of Supergirl in the comics.
