Superman's difficulties.

[Night Ninja]

I've always been meaning to post this, but it kept slipping my mind. It's a pretty good analysis of Superman's difficulties in reproducing.

[Kobrag]

To the first paragraph...HE GETS KIDS! ever read the comics. The old ones?

 

[gamerwiz09]

I can't believe I just read an article about Superman's super sperm.

 

[Hersen]

His erections would rip through his clothing.

 

[Yeyinde]

Man, that was great!

 

[Guan_Chung]

That was awesome

 

[mrcrotch]

He fell of a horse and couldn't walk. That's quite a difficulty.

 

[Nahkis]

This is one of the subjects I hoped I'd never come across.

 

[Trooper5445]

Strange.

 

[Moss]

I can't believe I just read that.

On a similar note:
"Superman?! What are you doing in hell?"
"A hooker made a crack about me being faster than a speeding bullet, so I ripped her in half like a phone book."

Did no one notice it mentioned time and again the notion of Superman and LL having sex?

 

[Guan_Chung]

I did. I lol'd.

 

[Seff]

Did no one notice it mentioned time and again the notion of Superman and LL having sex?

It made quite the joke on the IRC channel.

 

[James]

I should really get on there more often.

 

[Lord Sami]

Finally got around to reading the thing. Gave me a nice laugh.

 

[Sir Saladin]

No mention about the queer costume he wears? Perhaps he needs a Boy Wonder rather then Lois Lane. Blue ballet tights with a red cape and red slippers, he's been on Earth most of his life.

 

[Mage246]

Kryptonians are known galaxy-wide for their crappy fashion sense (hey they had to be bad at *something*), so he must have inherited it from his parents.

 

[Sir Saladin]

Allright, and I just remembered reading a Superman comic book many years ago that explained how he was wrapped in that indestructable fabric before being launched from his dying planet. If he wore regular human clothes it would all be destroyed during his adventures so he had to wear that ridiculous costume. I'm sorry I forgot about that.

 

[Hersen]

Sounds like a lame excuse for a bad outfit.

 

[Mage246]

If it was an indestructible fabric, then how did Superman make a superhero costume out of it? Did he use SuperScissors? If it was already in the form of a costume, why is it perfectly fitted to Superman's body, when they would have had no way of knowing what his exact dimensions would be when they sent it with him?

Also, for an indestructible fabric it gets torn fairly often. Why is it only sometimes indestructible?

According to Superman #146, Martha Kent was moved to fashion a super-playsuit for the infant Superman because the child was constantly destroying his store-bought clothes by engaging in various forms of super-powered play. Fortunately, the Kents had had the foresight to save the three blankets - one red, one blue, and one yellow - in which the infant Superman had been swathed when he arrived on Earth in his rocket. Because the blanket material was indestructible and therefore could not be cut by any scissors, the Kents unraveled some loose ends and then coaxed their super-powered infant into using the heat of his X-ray vision to cut the unraveled thread so that Martha Kent could use it to sew the Kryptonian blankets into a super-playsuit. Years later, Martha Kent unraveled the playsuit and rewove the thread into Superman's now-famous costume. According to one of the stories in Superman Annual #8 (1963), the young Superman used "strips of rubber padding" salvaged from the wreckage of his rocket to fashion a pair of bright red boots, while a yellow strap, also salvaged from the rocket, became his belt.

Not that I buy any of these weak explanations, of course. They should have just given Superman yet another superpower: a forcefield that extends a centimeter from his skin. After all, he's already Superman, it isn't as if one more superpower would make him even more overpowered than he already is.
