Default Re: Thoughts on Superman

I don't think the affects of such power on the psyche has ever been properly explored when Superman is considered, unlike with Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen. How has Superman almost never injured someone by accident as Clark Kent considering his power? When you can lift a million pounds, how do you know how to much you need to let up not to kill someone with a "gentle" touch?

Superman isn't too powerful in the books. He is written to be too perfect and we canot relate to that in an imperfect world.

Hell, even Christ made a few mistakes...

Good thing we have comic nerds like Kevin Smith to tackle questions like 'Superman having sex.'

Quote:
Brodie: It's impossible. Lois could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle the sperm? I guarantee you he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it's strong enough to carry his child?
T.S.: Sure, why not?
Brodie: He's an alien, for Christ's sake. His Kryptonian biological makeup is enhanced by Earth's yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonder Woman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a kryptonite condom. But that would kill him.

There's one more...can't find right now.

Seriously though, Superman is so lame. He has ONE weakness, ONE. And he obviously is Clark Kent...the people of Metropolis are incredibly stupid. He is pretty boring.
