TEN SUPERS IN THEIR PJS!
TEN SUPERS IN THEIR PJS!
10) SHANG-CHI, MASTER OF KUNG-FU - What look like super-comfy pajama pants are actually the bottom part of a traditional karategi, befitting his status as a master of martial arts; with the matching loose-fitting jacket, this was Shang's uniform for many years.
Though Shang is Chinese and a practitioner of Chinese fighting styles, this look seems more inspired by Japan, because comics. He was allowed to put on a shirt permanently sometime in the 1990s.
9) FLYING GIRL - Wearing her most stylish nightgown from the Kent General Store, Lana Lang's endless attempts to unravel Superboy's secret identity led to her conning him into giving her the power to fly; it was all part of a plan to get super-powers for herself.
It didn't work.

8) THE GOLDEN BOY, FORD KNOX - Heavyweight Champion of the World (this world, anyway), Richard Knochs is one of the heaviest hitters of Galaxy Wrestling Pro, battling aliens and humans across the galaxy to become the Champion of the Universe! WOOOO!
Some people sleep in briefs.

An open-source character created by Vito Delsante, Ford owes a spiritual debt to Mr. Richard Fliehr of Memphis; he's a spacin', retracin', space cruiser ridin', rockeship flyin', kiss-stealing, wheelin' and dealin' son of a gun.
Kinda gives a new meaning to Space Mountain.

7) SILVER SWAN - Modeling the latest in lingerie-inspired sleepwear from Frederica's of Themiscyra, Valeria Beaudry grew up physically deformed thanks to radiation exposure; given super-powers and extensive plastic surgery by a corrupt CEO, she became a weapon of war.
6) THE PHANTOM EAGLE - Part of Fawcett Comics' surprisingly deep non-Marvel roster, Mickey Malone was a boy mechanic who built his own plane in order to fight the Axis powers; his onesie is actually a coverall, but it looks mighty comfortable for long nights in the hangar.
5) KID QUICK - Modern sidekick of AC Comics' take on Fighting Yank, they are an homage to Speedboy, the sidekick of Fighting American; Yank was redesigned by AC as a parody of FA to riff on Kirby's '50s work, making for an odd juxtaposition.
That costume looks nap-ready, though.

4) RAKSHASHI - Bearer of a Firestorm matrix, real name unknown, this Indian national briefly opposed Ronnie &Jason during their time as a pair of red/yellow Firestorms; she was sadly killed in action, as I love her design.
My wife literally has PJ pants in precisely that style.

3) SHOCK GIBSON - Sometimes known as The Human Dynamo, Charles and/or Robert Gibson (accounts vary) uses his real name and doesn't always wear a mask, but still somehow has a secret identity; his costume went through a lot of changes, but this one looks especially pajamafied.
2) KEKKO KAMEN - A mysterious hero in mask, gloves and nothing else, Kekko's name means, roughly, "Splendid Mask"; she uses her pulchritudinous nudity to combat evil, her finisher being a crotch-first dive into her enemy's face for the KO.
What? Some people sleep naked.

Kekko Kamen was created as a parody of Gekko Kaman (roughly, Moonlight Mask) an anime/toku hero from the 1950s; creator Go Nagai created her as a joke, only to find his editor loved the concept.
Her/their secret identity gets complicated.

1) THE SCHOLAR - Wielding the Philosopher's Stone, John Rhodes uses it's alchemical properties to combat evil, but he knows when to relax as well; he died fighting Oblivaeon.
You may think he resembles a certain The Dude, but, well, that's just, like, your opinion man.
