Kari's costume was by far the best, though she had a definite point the the stilettos. Anyone who's had to run anywhere really fast knows it's a pain to go fast and there's always that wonderful little chance of stepping wrong and braking your ankle going top speed.

The spasm made me laugh, but his costume was...just...wierd. rofl

After seeing the segment during the superhero hour in which the practicality of changing into ones costume in a phone booth was tested, I had to cringe.
First of all, I defy anyone to site for me an example of Clark Kent/Superman switching identities in a phone booth. I've been a Superman fan since the early 60's, and I have no indications that a phone booth was ever used as a dressing room by the Man of Steel.
Secondly, the myth was tested using a glass and aluminum phone booth. Now, I'm no historian, but I would imagine that if this myth/legend were to have some basis in reality, one would need to assume that the phone booths of the era (Superman was created in 1938) would be a bit larger, and made primarily out of wood, to insure a bit of privacy.
As to the question of costumes in general, if this myth is ever revisited, some better questions to be asked might be -
-Just how practical is it to wear a super suit under your street clothes?
-And just what size shoe does Clark Kent have to wear (to fit over the boots)?

I agree the phantom's ring was wrong, but how are they going to test this without out a human analog? Also Adam screwed up on his nocturnal echo locating flying mammal man cable gun, he needs to make it more compact and he can make it more compact. He just needs to build his from scratch and it does not have to pierce the object he can always get it coiled around the object. After all the graphics department showed me that during the superhero special. Also I would love to see the nocturnal echo locating flying mammal man signal.

Try saying that tree times fast. It is nocturnal echo locating flying mammal man. That is a challenge to the mythbuster and I mean ALL of them!! So let's see them do that.
