Do you know why
Superman was always such a
super-dick back in the
Silver Age?
He learned it from all of the aliens he encountered.
A couple of months ago
we saw this:
A group of rich idiots who had nothing better to do than travel the galaxy pulling practical jokes.
And then last month
I shared this:
A couple of retired generals who have nothing better to do than go around staging war games on Earth-like planets!
Now let's meet
these nozzles:
Superman forced to violate his oath against killing, or they'll roast the Earth? Where the hell is
Zod when you need him?
But of course, all is not what it seems. And after Superman pretends to deliberately kill
Clark Kent in an atomic blast...
Ah, yes, they,
too, are superdouches!
Apparently, the entire Silver Age
DC Universe was filled with bored rich folk who had nothing better to do than tease, bedevil, and frak with lesser developed cultures!! It's as if the Earth was just a stop on the "Be Like Mxyzptlk Tour"!
So where the hell was the
Green Lantern Corps when we were being messed with like this? They had no problem when these races came around messing with primitive worlds?
From Superboy #137 (1967), Superboy #143 (1967), and Superman #171 (1964).
