Does Superman need mouthwash?

[Brainiac44]

In one story where he's trying to prove to a kid that Clark is Superman, the kid only believes him after he sees that Clark's bathroom cabinet has not toothpaste, deodorant, mouthwash ect...
Yet, bad breath is caused partly because when you eat, part of the food leaves a "trace" in your mouth.  So, the big question for me today - does Superman have bad breath at times?  Not that I would mind if he'd save me from a car crash...

thats a very good question but superman probably has breath mints

This would explain why no-one ever gets a nice close-up look at his face.

well he has Super Breath!

But, I don't think that germs can surive in Superman's body.

Silver-age superman did not need to eat.  if he needed mouthwash all he had to do was fly into the sun.

Or into some other super heated place, like the big flamethrower torch thing in the fortress of solitude.

I think he would have bad breath sometimes.  He probably farts too.   :lol:

One of the more amusing things about the Silver Age Superman was the fact that everythign he did had to be Super. His fortress was filled with Giant things, like Giant robots, or a Giant  diary, or a Giant Bowling Alley, because if it was normal sized.

So naturally he could never practice personal hygene in a normal way. It almost always involved him flying through the Sun, or using giant flame throwers and the like.
