Many superhero costumes are designed with bold primary colours like red, blue, and yellow to make them visually striking. This tradition dates back to the early days of comic books when printing technology was limited, and the use of primary colours was the most cost-effective way to ensure characters stood out on the page. Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America are classic examples of this trend. While they may look sleek and stylish on screen or in comic books, these costumes often undergo extensive testing and iteration to ensure they are functional for the actors or performers wearing them. For example, Batman’s cape is often designed with special materials to allow for fluid movement during fight scenes, while Superman’s suit may incorporate hidden zippers or seams to facilitate quick changes between scenes.
