Heh. Not too often I'd imagine.
As to his nakedness or lack thereof - in the source, he's not always naked. In fact, he sort of goes through a "de-evolution" in his costume.
Originally it was a black bodysuit mandated by the government. He just started leaving parts of it behind as the years went along. (There's about a 35-40
year timeline) and by the early 1970s was just wearing a "speedo" as you see in the trailer. In the "modern here-and-now" of 1985 as the
story begins, he's basically come to not even care about that. It's a visual cue as to his alienation with mankind and its mores. He just doesn't
care about those things very much unless someone reminds him. There is one time when he wears a suit and tie. On a talk-show when his handlers tell him to do
so. That kinda goes bad and turns into a near riot (also seen in the trailer)
And even in scenes where he is naked, the comic artist often used dodges like "just out of frame" or some such. Or they might not actually be dodges,
since the story might simply call for a closer frame of him at that point. It's been a long time since I've read the series. I'm going from memory
here.
