Gloves seem to be... traditional in animation, especially if it's anime, or if the main characters are animals.
Donald wears gloves?
My guess is that people complained that they were naked, so gloves (And shoes) were used for a loophole.

Nope.
Or to give them more human attributes.
I also think gloves are there for grip and to protect the hands from the punches themselves. Think about it.
*C_L*
it suits them better that way, i don't think it has any other purpose than that.

Well, Mario and Luigi need gloves. They throw Fireballs and it would burn their hands if they had no gloves on.
Speaking of them, why the hats and the overalls? And why DOES Link wear that hat? And why does Snake tie that i-don't-know-what-it's-called around his head? And Marth's tiara? Well, I guess Marth's a prince, but...
I dunno, I guess they're all just something to define that hero. And to help hold their swords, of course.

That-I-Don't-Know-What-it's-Called is a headband and it's basically for the sake of coolness or to keep the hair out of his eyes.
Also, why do some female fighters wear skimpy clothes? I know for fanservice, but is there any practicality? I once read this manga called Dragon Half and almost all of the female characters wore skimpy clothing and I'm like "Don't you think that is just a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen?"
Also, buruma, like the anime girls wear for gym that look like swimsuit bottoms, they apparently make it easier to move, but they look like you are going to get a wedgie from those and shorts are no easier to move in than those things. I mean, the guys wear shorts? Why can't the girls do so? How sexist?
Also, schoolgirls, for crying out loud, WEAR SHORTS UNDER YOUR SKIRTS! Why don't you? Are the skirts to short? If so, then you have a probelm you need to address to the school.

Link wears that hat because hes the Mescalito/Hero archetype! Duh!
Lol, if we were using the rep system, I'd be "pos" -ing a lot of posts in here. XP
Maybe all of these cartoon characters have hygiene regimens that require protection of the hands? And maybe capes are there because the cape-wearer never could get over their childhood attachment to the security blanket. I mean, Superman and Batman do have some security/trust issues, after all, amirite?

Hmmm. An OCD Bugs Bunny? Well, Bugs doesn't throw fireballs so that could work. And the security blanket is quite creative. Good idea.

I always thought it was just to make them look cool, and I reckon it does. I wanna wear some black gloves as well, if Cynthia wore gloves (I know you are talking about hereos but they aren't the only ones who wear them and cartoons/animes aren't the only ones either) I think she would be even more hot. I don't know but with certain outfits I think fingerless or other gloves (Mostly black) look awesome. And for those who actually fight with hands I presume it's so it doesn't hurt as much.
If you think about it why does anyone wear long black leather boots or fingerless glovers or trenchcoats (Like Spike/Angel in Buffy, I thnk Spike wore it to look badass, Angel doesn't always thought) etc, it's so they can look cool and pretty much hot and badass.

Oh my god, you just reminded me of that black and white cow thing's nakedness XD. As far as I'm concerned, though, they always wore gloves.
the gloves of the mario bros arn't very fireproof, in reality if they would have used a fireball they would sustain serious firewounds on their hands because their gloves catch fire.
rough leather that's what protects you from things like that, it won't hold on forever but it's favored by people who work with fire for hundreds if not thousends of years.

But the gloves don't catch fire. Ever. So it must work. So it must be completely fireproof.
yes that is something i never managed to figure out, they throw fireballs with handgloves that look very attractive for a flame.
but then again nothing is logic in the world of the mario bros, flying turtles, mushrooms make you grow, plumbers that save the land/country/galaxy, etc.
