I heard that Marvel's Storm action figure had requested the lead paint because she kept catching a Superman action figure staring at her in an odd way.
Hmmmm… I wonder how much control Supes has over those heat-vision eyeballs.
Have you guys ever heard a song called Superman Sex Life Boogie? Which is based on Larry Niven's Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex.
Niven's story is a classic. It should be remembered the story was written back when comics was still truly a children's medium in the United States, both in perception and in execution. I think if the story had been written today, it wouldn't seem as outrageous.
Hmph. No html is coming through. Those titles should have been italicized and links. The link for the lyrics of Superman Sex Life Boogie is:http://www.tomsmithonline.com/lyrics/superman.htm and the link for Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex is:http://www.rawbw.com/~svw/superman.html
