I was writing elliptically to avoid using “Superman” or “Clark Kent” in that sentence, Otto, and in fact I was referring to the Byrne relaunch, which presented the Superman-Clark identity pretty much as I described it. That said, there has been a retcon you’ve missed: the Mark Waid-penned, let’s-worship-at-the-altar-of-smallville Birthright, in which Our Favorite Kryptonian was, in fact, born on the doomed planet in question. I believe that’s the currently accepted continuity (though I myself prefer the Byrne version).
As I’ve described the situation, no. You’re basically superman; the suit does nothing your biology doesn’t, except maybe morph into a giant trampoline to protect the townsfolk from avalanches.
No to that as well. I was really assuming you had no secret identity; remember, you’ve already used your powers to become richer than Croesus and to bang every fair damsel from Jodie Foster on down.
You’ve already made your billions finding Atlantis or whatever; you’ve become a hero for reasons of, oh, self-actualization. Boredom. Altruism, even.
Non super-love interest? You’ve noticed that, except for Lois Lane & Mary Jane Watson, such persons tend to get killed fairly quickly, right? Or turn evil. Or turn evil and THEN get killed.
Ah - clarification; the demon of we creative thinkers.
Okay - based on that, no super-suit, per se - maybe a standard outfit or series of outfits that conform to certain criteria - kinda like the White Stripes can wear anything that is colored Red, White and Black…
And as for a dying non-super love interest, my (completely fantasy - heck I don’t even know the woman) Lobelia would never put me in harm’s way, right my dear? 
And me standing off to the side ogling.
I can’t imagine that I’d wear a superhero suit. I don’t have the body for it at all. Maybe I’d spend a lot of money on jeans, since I made myself a trillionaire according to the OP.
Oh yeah. Something black and slinky…low-cut with kick ass boots…I would *stalk * those villians!
Catwoman is my heroine…
I would hide my Super-abilities, & do my good away from cameras, lest the Powers-That-Be™ would not try to exploit me for their own ends.
I’m sure Gwen thought the same of Peter. And Alex of Kyle. Et cetera.
Not to continue this particular hijack, but you’ve got the Byrne relaunch pretty much exactly backward. Byrne’s Clark grew up completely ignorant of his extra-terrestrial origins. He wasn’t “Kal-El of Krypton” in Byrne’s conception. He didn’t adopt the Kent identity so he wouldn’t have to be Superman all the time.
Anyway, as for my own costume choice, it would depend on whether I got a super-physique to go with my super powers. If I looked like Superman I’d wear stuff that showed off the physique, and vary the outfit way more than the Wasp ever did.
I know that. Which part of "I was writing elliptically to avoid using the ‘Superman’ or ‘Clark Kent’ in that sentence was unclear?
I know that in the Byrne revamp, Clark is the true identity and Superman is the disguise; that was my point. Kal-El doesn’t want to be a super-hero the way that Batman does; he feels obliged to be one and adopts another identity so he doesn’t have to do it all the time. The second identity I spoke of him adopting is Superman.
An unpowered exoskeleton would be good. All the super villans would think my strength and speed came from the exoskeleton, and so try and destroy it/steal it, which would do them no good at all.
Listen, Fanboy - of course you are correct! You fail to recognize that I have stepped out of the conceit of the thread and was attempting to cyber-flirt with a woman I don’t know, who doesn’t know me, and with whom I can not (and would not) do anything with IRL, being happily married and all!!
In other words - Dude, don’t blow my flow - I’m workin’ it, here! :smack:
(boy, am I glad I am out of circulation - this on-line stuff only makes it harder!)
It must be the part where you mention Superman in the OP and then talk more about Clark Kent, Superman and Kal-El in subsequent posts.
I think I’d go for an outfit something like the Shadow had. I’d want to blend in when I’m working, not stand out. Granted, it would need updating, but I like the principle and the man had style.
Of course, if Lobelia and LunaV were around, I suspect I’d quickly become known as Easily Distracted Man.
So, even superheros presumably want to relax. Plus, they often seem to be at odds with law enforcement (Batman, The Shadow), the public (the X-Men, Mr. Incredible), and of course, their enemies. Clark Kent could go to the library and do some research but Superman, not so much. Also, many superheros seem to be psychologically conflicted or tortured by their super identities; escaping into their mild-mannered ego may be a way of disconnecting from their sociopathic impulses when they’re not immediately engaged in fighting crime.
As for the supersuit, depending on your powers/capabilities you might very well need one. If your powers consist of something like pyrokinesis, you’re probably going to want clothing that doesn’t catch fire and burn up every time you throw a flameball. If you’re capable of becoming invisible, you’ll want your suit to be invisible, too, lest you have to run around getting a chill. And Batman needs his suit for protection and to carry his gear.
If I were going to be a superhero (sans any kind of clothes-destroying powers) I’d go for something like this, or if I wanted to be stylish, this. I’m just not big on the whole bright colors and adoring masses thing.
Stranger
I’d like to tear off my constricting suit and tie in the nearest phone booth and emerge wearing a black Chiffon dress with bead and sequin trim, satin and lace bustier with matching G-string, fishnet thigh high stockings, 5” rhinestone studded pumps, a platinum beehive wig and look for trouble wherever I can find it.
It’s funny, for as long as I can remember, I’ve always felt like a super-hero trapped in a mere mortal’s body.
WHY do you want to know?
Ahem - I would wear a super suit.
I haven’t sorted out the specifics, but it would have WonderWoman style super bracelets for SURE! And boots I think. I’m very pro boot.
I would dress like my City of Villains character. Hell, yeah. That is one smooth outfit. I might even go with the cat on the shoulder thing she’s got going on, there, though it might be hard to see in that pic. That outfit is so me-as-a-superhero.
Minus the elf ears, though. That’s just cheesy. 
I think i shall drop this rope. Yep, the rope is dropped. Instead I shall work on making things up to Wordman by sending him the secret to seducing Lobelia.
It’s Bag End, of course.
And spoons. Lots & lots of silver spoons.
My boots would be military style combat boots.
My pants would be black BDU pants. My shirt, a loose fitting BDU top, also black.
Until I lost the gut, then it would be a black T-shirt. I would have a small Logo on the breast of the t-shirt, or on the sleeve of the BDU top.
A metallic looking “B”, with a dragon behind it.
I would start by taking over Mexico.
In essence, though I would have nothing but the great good in mind, I would probably be classed as a super-villain.
I’m ok with that.
I would wear a uniform like the Blackhawks
