Yes, but what would Captain Canada do? "I live the unknown, I love the unknown... I AM the unknown."

Yeah well in the mid 80's I was in my early teens and loving every issue of Superman that came out... so once again I'm not sure what Earls point is. Since I've actually read the Byrne run on...

Well I've hinted about it here already but in Superman #123 (late 50's?) Superman tricks a Kryptonian villain into smashing two rocks together. He does this knowing it will create kryptonite and kill...

I'm late to this party, but I'll add that Christopher Reeve's Superman was pretty damned iconic, his Clark Kent, not so much. And I love the show Smallville, just example of how resilient Supes is...
