Superman Costume - George Reeves
played Superman, the Man of Steel from the planet Krypton on the
sci-fi series ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN/SYN/1951-57.
Superman wore a capped costume of red, white, blue and yellow.
The original costume made for the series was actually brown and
light gray to contrast better with the black and white photography
used on the earlier episodes.
When George Reeves died (he allegedly committed suicide in 1959)
he was buried in the same suit that he had worn while playing
Superman's alter-ego Clark Kent, the mild-mannered reporter who
worked for The Daily Planet newspaper.
