For those who wish to embrace their love for comic book heroes in a more subtle way, there's always the option of going after the Pull-In Underwear x Marvel Collection.
The Pull-In Underwear x Marvel Collection brings some of Marvel Comic's most infamous heroes to a series of undies -- and it's not just for kids either. The brands are planning to provide both men and women with a line of Lycra underwear featuring the likes of The Incredible Hulk, Spiderman and the crew of the X-Men. Some of the designs feature simple graphics of the characters while the others take on a retro comic panel look. There will be plans to integrate other superheros as well. With the Avengers movie coming out next year, I wouldn't be surprised to see the super group in underwear form.
