That question, again: What superhero started wearing shorts recently after a DC editor declared he never wanted to see her panties again?
Answer: Supergirl. Apparently if you fly around in a short skirt, people see … stuff. So now, thanks to editorial fiat, Supergirl wears bicycle shorts under her skirt. She’s not supposed to be one of DC’s sexy heroines — they’ve got Power Girl, Catwoman, and (more’s the pity) Mary Marvel for cheesecake.
