Super heroes and Super villains are pretty much exactly the same thing. It's just one set gets comic books written about them, and the other has comics written against them.

I mean seriously, all super heroes are vigilante b*****ds meting out their personal idea of 'justice'. They dodge real justice and arrest by those the people have designated (i.e. the police) because, well, how the hell do you arrest Superman, and how do you build a prison to hold him.

It's a case of absolute power corrupting absolutely, Superman needs to be stopped, as does his crazed dictatorially attack on civil liberties.

Superman has never done anything that has affected my personal civil liberties.

Then again, neither has Lex Luther.

Exactly. But think about it. Lex provides Jobs for thousands of people, Superman sits atop his high horse judging people.

What use is that?

Yeah, but doesn't Lex destroy rainforests or thump baby seals on the head or try to destroy the world or something?

How does that make him any different from any other buisnessman? He was supermans 'enemy' because 'superman' got pissy because Lex copped off with Lois Lane.

He just couldn't handle that Lois preffered Lex so set out to destroy him in a fit of childish revenge.

I'm back and so apparently is my cold. And just for the record - chasing a kitten about all weekend because he hasn't learned the difference between a litterbox and a potted plant is not overly conducive to getting plenty of rest.

Or a dog.

(In the post-Crisis continuity, that's how Krypto got his name; Bibbowski ordered a doggie tag for his puppy, but they charged extra for more than 6 letters.)

Clark: Lois I know you think I'm just a typical, but slighty cute nerd boy named Clark, but there is something I have to tell you.

Lois: It's ok I already have it figured out all on my own Clark and none of that matters. I know your true identity and I am madly in love with...

Clark: Lois? What's wrong?

Lois: Are those my tights?

I don't think it was so much that Lois preferred Lex over Superman. It was just annoying to her that he was too much of a tightwad to go and buy his own undergarments.

Mark! Hello dear, I wondered when you would find your way here.

Just do what Serenity said, fix yourself a drink and make yourself comfy.

(and you will be required for pillow duty, so get practicing)

Edit - ok, so i really should have learned my lesson by now about reading to the end of the thread before answering - dammit, that was the wittiest thing i've come up with for weeks.



Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway?I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

The friend in question is unlikely to ever have a wife, he'd have to adopt. Besides, I think this was a thougth that occured to him in grade school, not recently.
It could have been worse:
Ytterbium
Darmstadtium
Ununquadium

"But you sleep like a ghost with me
It's as simple as that
So tell me I'm mad
Roll me up and breathe me in
Come to my madness
My opium den
Come to my madness
Make sense of it again."
Goodbye to all that. III-The Opium Den (Brave)-Marillion
