manic Monday Bonus--Well, Excuuuuuuse Me!!

Hey, kids, look--another forgotten Superman power!!

Clark Kent has to make a documentary about Steve Lombard, because that's how WGBS rolls.

But, at the same time, he has to get away for a few minutes to investigate evil Superman puppets who are stealing his super-powers one by one (yay, Silver Age!!)

So what does he do?? Get ready for it...

YESSS!!!

Oh, they try to disguise it with DC Science:




But you and I know, it was a Super-Burp!!

So, kids, next time you burp at the table, and your parents try to reprimand you, just explain that you're trying to be like Superman.

I promise, that will keep you from being punished...

I've mentioned it elsewhere, and will do so again so that more people start to think about it, but "Are Superman's olfactory senses as a keen and heightened as every other one of his senses are, and if so, then why doesn't it come into play more often?"

Think about it, if he can detect scents as well as or better than Wolverine, then wouldn't that couple with his "super-memory" to effectively make him a "Super-Bloodhound" and ultimately make a *HUGE* difference in certain plot points in certain stories?

What, is having a super-sniffer not as "sexy" as being able to see through walls or hear someone's whisper from a mile away?
