    This is idiotic. Good is only in the eye of the user. Red son is an example of this. There was a recent what if Superman landed in 40k that was great. You are a product of your surroundings. Clark is neither good, not bad. He is a terrible representation of what some consider good. And I say this as someone that is a Superman fan.

      Sounding more like a Snyderman fan than a Superman fan, to be honest. An elseworld story now and then, or an edgelord deconstruction or two is great but the fantasy is that Superman has all this power but still uses it for good.

      Turning into a dictator is weak and easy shit. It’s probably what every fucking manosphere clown would do. While going “don’t blame me, it’s just my biology! Hurr durr! I’m simultaneously logic and rational and superior but also a fucking ape that can’t control myself! Hurr durr.”

      What makes Superman special is that he has all of this power but still has actual morals and values and empathy without the only thing holding him back being the law.
