It actually took me a minute 😅
I am guessing it’s more her personality that’s unlikable than her boobies? Dunno, never read Superman.
I feel it’s more that he’s desensitized - everyone is naked to his eyes.
That’s a good interpretation.
We stay focus 2021.
A real super man would have gone somewhere with the “face of fatuousness” set-up.
Aha… Cat Grant… LOL.
He’s just saving her life.
It’s all about them being the “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex,”
He could probably put a hole through a tank when he finishes 🗣️🍆💦🎇
That was explored in The Pro when the female lead had relations with the Superman analogue, and he shoved her off before he shot his shot, which hit a plane.
The rationale I accept for Supermans shot not blowing out the top of Lois’ head is that he consciously has to use his power, otherwise everytime he blinked his eyes it’d blow people away with the sheer force of it, his piss would shoot through walls… and lord have mercy on anyone in the mens room with him after he had Taco Bell.
Of course it’s written by Garth Ennis. I should have known. Gotta check it out later.
I’ll always upvote ‘The Pro.’
My personal retrocon was that she decided to skip fleet week and head to the local college for some wimpy pencil necks. Her first client is Peter Parker, the second is Reed Richards, and the last is Bruce Banner. Three close contacts with gamma radiation infused bodily fluids gave her the super powers.
X-Ray Peripheral Vision. ‘Nuff said.
It’s too late he’s seen everything. Yeah. Seen it all.
Why does she go to “you’re from another planet” and not “Oh! he’s gay.”
Because he was about to eat a sloppy pink glazed hole, doy.
Context clues.
We do love a man who will just stare a woman in the eyes while talking to her
Let’s also remember that Clark hangs with Wonder Woman, the Black Canary, Zatana, and others. Justice Leaguer Vixen is a a super model when she’s not fighting evil. Cat’s not even a bench warmer on that team.
How could you forget Power Girl?
According to character writer Jimmy Palmiotti, "Okay. When the character was created, Wally Wood was the artist that drew Power Girl, and he was convinced that the editors were not paying attention to anything he did. So, his inker said “Every issue, I’m going to draw the tits bigger until they notice it. It took about seven or eight issues before anyone was like, “Hey, what’s with the tits?” And that’s where they stopped. True story.”
PG has been retroconned more than most characters, but usually she’s a close relative of Supes. I don’t think that Big Blue is going to play Sweet Home Alabama no matter how tempting the target.
How close of a relative can you be if you’re from an alternate reality?
“If All Men Were Brothers, Would You Let One Marry Your Sister?” by Theodore Sturgeon. Great story, look it up
That was a weird read
It was published in a book called ‘Dangerous Visions.’ back in 1969. It was a collection of all new stories that no publisher or respectable magazine would touch. Some opf the stories are still bleeding edge.
Gotta blend in with the locals
No. This is a a modern work setting, not a 1940’s workplace. Clark isn’t a 20-something intern. As a man in a white-collar job in the US, if you want to have any sort of career, you learn to keep your eyes above the neck. Even if they aren’t looking, there’s always a chance someone else in the office will see your gaze wandering, and you could find yourself in HR talking about sexual harassment.
No doubt there are men who can’t control themselves; no doubt there are still plenty of hostile work environments. But most men, in most corporations learn to be extremely cautious about behavior. When I was a new manager, I was so paranoid about this I’d leave the door ajar when having 1-on-1s with my women employees. That was excessive, but I was new, and at the company I was at we’d had more sexual harassment training than any other single kind, and it new managers got an extra dose. I was terrified of making a mistake. And forget about flirting.
So this one falls flat for me. Clark here isn’t being inhumanly controlled: he’s just being an average guy in a modern corporate environment who wants to keep a clean record and stay out of awkward HR conversations.
Is this drawn by the guy who is hated for being crap at drawing comics? Liefield or something? Looks like him with the weird lady’s face and ocf the stretched feet.
no… he is way worse than this. this is just fine
No, “this is fine” was drawn by KC Green.
I still believe he is NOT Superman, why would Superman need glasses? It makes no sense
This instantly reminded me of Mystery Men. Fantastic movie.
he needs to blur his vision so he doesn’t accidentally remark on something you’d need a microscope to see
Yeah, it’s an interesting theory, but it was debunked decades ago.
So this lady things that gay and asexual men are from another planet? Rude.
Or if you’re neurodivergent and looking everyone dead in the eyes because you’re masking hard at work.
It’s good to know that the Man of Steel’s one weakness isn’t boobies
X-ray vision. He can see all the boobies he wants to. I’d imagine that he mostly got it all out of his system as a teen.
Also, it’s not hard to resist a blatant setup like that if you know it’s coming. Clark knows who Cat Grant is.
Swait superman has xray vision? So he could give someone cancer just by looking at them? “If looks could kill…”
I remember reading a comic as a kid that explained the X-ray vision thing was a bit of a misnomer. The context was that he was going to use it on a pregnant lady in labor, and wanted her consent before he did so and stated the vision wouldn’t affect the baby due to some technobable.
Just because he can see X-rays (or other radiation) doesn’t mean his eyes emit the X-rays.
Superman does have a look that can kill. His heat vision.
Well yeah, but giving a cancer to a enemy is way funnier
I always interpreted it more like he could see in a wide range of the light spectrum and so could just see whatever was already being emitted. Like our eyes but better.
That said, he does have the ability to send out rays from his eyes too so maybe it’s more like radar? Not that it needs to make sense anyways…
Depending on the particular cannon, in some of them the supervision is active at all times. That his senses just let him see all the layers and through all the layers.
So it’s not just that he CAN see all of them all the time. He doesn’t even have a choice. It would mean nudity to any degree was extremely unremarkable to the man.
also i’m not gonna be aroused in seeing someone naked if i can see that same person without skin or muscle at the same time
That argument doesn’t make sense to me. If you were used to seeing people’s bones your whole life, then bones would be part of your model of an attractive woman.
“Nice femurs”
And you could see deformities and cancer way early.
Sounds like a disastrous life
This argument breaks down as soon as you consider that we see clothed people all the time and yet some of them are still attractive.
