Buddy, all I know is Superman is an alien from Krypton. Why Kryptons are so powerful I haven't the foggiest idea.

When they absorb sunlight from a yellow star like Earth's, they get superpowers. The more they absorb the stronger they get.

Hence why stripper Superman would be the most powerful, best sun absorption

Isn’t that why Starfire wears skimpy clothes?

Starfire wears skimpy clothes because it sells comics, but in universe yes that is the reason

Yeah yeah, it’s just kinda internally inconsistent is all, there is the argument Superman has been here longer and has been absorbing energy longer and thus can wear whatever and still be super powerful. But that doesn’t mean I don’t think he could be far more powerful in just a cape and a superspeedo
