What happens if Wonder Woman's costume is at the dry cleaner and she goes into her spin?

Will she come out buck ass nude?

GE hit $10B in sales in the Power Gen Market in 2000, and all we got was one of those T-Shirts. I still have it, in the postcard pack. It is far more useful as an explanation as to why I left, than as a T-shirt.

I heard/read somewhere that Superman had a pouch in the underside of his cape.

Just don't tug on Superman's cape, don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger.

And don't mess around with Jim.

It might not for you, but you are not Superman.
If you put on a cape and jumped off a tall building could you fly? No, because you are not Superman.
If you pulled a small pill out of your shorts and spit on it would it turn into a well pressed suit? No because you are not Superman.
If you were seen in the Walmart parking lot searching your shorts for a small pill would security assume you are just Superman looking for his suit? I don’t know, but I would love to be there.

I thought he just left the clothes at home, at least when going to the county fair.

Yep, that’s the correct answer.

Ah, so super spit is the mechanism of turning a suit compressed to the size of a pea back into a full size suit?

My post was more directed at the suit needing to be super, but perhaps super spit works to.

A similar question applies to how his costume holds up to the heat of atmospheric re-entry when he re-enters from orbit. I wonder if his super outfit was stowed in the pod and is alien fabric?

In the comics, his suit was made from the blankets he was wrapped in on the space ship that brought him here. His Earth mom had to unravel the threads of the blanket and then weave them back into the suit. His suit is super of course. It can withstand the volcanoes, bullets and even the interior and surface of the sun, just like Superman.

Thanks. Seems the logical path that alien man from a pod would also be clothed in alien clothing from the pod.

In the movie Man of Steel, they changed a lot of back story, and his Superman suit a LOT.

I think Superman was a nice guy and left his clothes behind for the homeless.

People like me enjoy this stuff.

And....there are a lot of comical ideas for things that might go wrong with superman changing clothes instead of just staying superman.

And all he has to do is put on glasses and NO ONE ever knows Clark Kent is really Superman!

Well these did a great job of disguising the sex machine wearing them.

I can only imagine the babes you burned to the ground once those specs were set aside.
