Dude's a hero. He tore down poor crime-ridden neighbourhoods to make the streets safer for us middle and upper-class folks, and he caught whales to make the seas safer for whalers.
Seriously, though. Superman is one of my least favorite superheroes.

It's perplexing that Superman actually works as an adventure. The man is basically omnipotent, it's very strange that there can be any narrative at all. He must be the clumsiest superhero ever for anything interesting to ever happen.

That's what kryptonite is for.

Even that is totally perplexing.
Fly around, hear and see every bad guy on Earth and zap them with eye-lasers.
That he allows himself to be surprised by kryptonite - ever - is ridiculous.

That's why a lot of the best Superman stories either have him fighting some cosmic-level evil that he can just go all fucking out on, or explicitly have him holding back and struggling with the desire to do good, to keep his morality in check despite the firm ability to force everyone to listen to him if he wanted, and so on.

A good Superman isn't so much about if he wins but the process along the way. You have a man who can safely compete with gods but is still ultimately human. A lot of the really great moments for him aren't man vs man stories but man vs self.

No, that's Captain Hammer.
What is it like to be so very wrong?
Do with this information what you will, chat.
Well I can't quote it! The spoiler'd sweet platter of nuts.
Humans and penguins are the only two animals to setup criminal syndicates.
Hm... a little sleepy and kinda hungry.

And if he's faster than a speeding bullet why does he let himself get hit all the time. God damn show off.
what a dick!
yeah that was a good one, I'd like to think. Glad it made you laugh too!

LEAD!
The excuses are infinite.
He pulled his gun out of his locker and knowing my enthusiasm asked me if I wanted to take a look,
And he just gazed on in confusion as I field stripped it in less than 20 seconds
Man, I am so weak.

For some reason, reading this and then your signature amuses me.
I'm still laughing at this. It's so obviously not true that I cannot imagine who put this together.
