The Superman suits were a series of protective suits worn by Clark Kent as the superhero Superman.
Overview[]
First suit[]
When Clark decided to become a superhero, he donned a blue suit with a red cape and a red and black stylized version of the House of El's coat of arms emblazoned on the chest, along with red trunks and red boots.[1]
Second suit[]
The second suit is similar to the first, but with few changes. This is a blue suit, a red cape resembling the first suit's cape. The chest had a small red and yellow emblem; the crest returning to the Kryptonian version of the House of El's symbol, along with a streamlined red and yellow belt and red boots.[1]
Third suit[]
Following Superman's death and resurrection, the Kryptonian hero wore a new costume very similar to the second, being a blue suit with a red cape, boots and a belt, but with a more colorful emblem on his chest and a much darker blue.[2]
History[]
According to Clark, the first suit was made by Martha Kent.[1] The House of El coat of arms was later added to the suit at Clark's suggestion.[3]
A few years later, some changes were made to the suit.[1]
Capabilities[]
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.
- Advanced durability: It is unknown what materials the suit is comprised of. However, the suit is just as durable as Clark, as bullets cannot penetrate it, even explosives from missiles and highly concentrated bursts of energy cannot damage it.[1] The first suit was also fireproof and incredibly durable; it could withstand Atom-Man's flamethrower and a grenade at close-range without any damage or even visible signs of wear.[3] The second suit is even more durable, as it appeared completely undamaged after Zeta-Rho, possessing Jordan Kent, skimmed Clark against active, molten lava.
- Self-repairing: The second suit has the ability to repair itself after being damaged in mere seconds.[4]

Behind the scenes[]
- The emblem on Clark's first suit seen in a flashback in "Pilot", is black with a yellow outline and a red "S"; this is the same emblem seen in the 1941 animated Superman shorts produced by Fleischer Studios (Superman (Earth-F).
- 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. The second Superman suits pays homage to several Superman suits; the crest is still depicted with the classic Dan Jurgens style, though the crest looks to be about the same size as the one Brandon Routh wore on his suit. The suit retains the look, texture, and feel of the spacesuit style from the Earth-38/Prime suit. The suit seems to also resemble the one Tom Welling's Superman wears in the Smallville: Season 10 comics. The suit retains the New 52 styled boots but has a DC-Rebirth styled belt on the waist, though in the second season the boots have switched to the classic Superman boots.
