Hi-Tech Comic Book Boxers

Diesel Super Heroes Underwear Collection Offers Cool Effects

— December 2, 2011 — Business
Inspired by the characters in the classic DC Comics, the Diesel Super Heroes underwear collection is a line of undies that would make perfect holiday gifts for the man (or woman) in your life who will never grow out of comic books.

The Diesel Super Heroes underwear collection comprises four different styles: Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern and The Joker. Each boxer is crafted of the "latest fabric technology," says the product site, and features cool design elements related to the iconic characters. For example, the Green Lantern boxer is made with florescence -- the print on it actually becomes visible only in the dark -- and the Batman style is made with a "special print, which by using, washing and scratching will reveal a black armour over time."

To find out the other cool elements that Diesel has infused into its line of comic book undies or to order them for a loved one (or yourself), visit the Diesel site.
