Should Superman be hairy?
>SuperMAN
>hairless
never
But modern Superman is very nearly hairless, is he not?
what is metamorpho doing hanging around Clark's dick?
A cunning plan, no doubt.
I feel like being nearly hairless does give him a bit of a "hyper-evolved alien demigod" thing that gets lost otherwise, in addition to feeding into the Biblical Renaissance sculpture vibe that characterizes a lot of comic art.
I like it how it is in that picture, but it might just be because I'd like hairy chests to be in fashion so I don't ever feel the need to shave mine.
Would it affect wind resistance?
Only if he wasn't wearing his suit, I guess.
"Clark talking about how great he is while a woman swoons over him
Not only does that read like some fanfic Marty Stu nonsense, it's not how the Kents would raise their boy to behave.
"Bird never make nest in bare tree."
So should he fight crime completely naked?
Just like a Bodybuilder
How does Superman shave his pubes without burning away his sperm?
Found the faggot!
Yes, because manscaping is for metrosexual types trying to put forward a neutered form of masculinity, and Clark is a country boy from Kansas. And if he was naturally hairless as a Kryptonian, it's also bad, because it's one more thing that dilutes the "man" part of the "Superman", and puts him more in the realm of a Roman god sculpture than a person. They've already got him not needing to eat and sleep, no natural bodyhair growth is one more step too far.
>They've already got him not needing to eat and sleep, no natural bodyhair growth is one more step too far.
Since when did he not need to eat and sleep? Because that's retarded.
>Since when did he not need to eat and sleep?
Not sure. It's apparently referenced in Superman: World of New Krypton #3, from 2009, but I think it's a little older. I just got that from a wiki, but I've read it before several times. I don't like it either, I think that solar energy or no solar energy, the guy should have to consume some nutrients. It makes him seem not just alien, but disconnected from living things in general.
So you agree that Superman shouldn't be ageless either?
I think that's a good amount of hair. Shame it went out of style in the 90s.
But... why?
So how come she didn't need to die like Gwen?
Is he ageless too? I think it would be better if he was near all these things, but not truly free of them. His body is more resistant to aging, but he'll still age. like his kryptonian lungs can hold a lot of compressed air and he can hold it for an incredible amount of time, but he still needs to breathe. His body is efficient, and doesn't waste much, but he still gets depleted of certain nutrients if he goes for too long without eating anything. I'd prefer if he was near to a god, but still be short of actual godliness, if that makes sense.
Sure. He’s a burly dude from the Midwest.
I also think Superman should have short sleeve because “farmer’s tan” is fitting. Also, more skin to absorb solar radiation.
I also think it’s best when Kal-El/Clark Kent is just dorky but fit dude from the Midwest who obviously ate his Wheaties between baling hay and reading and writing, and “Superman” is an idea he presents to the world where he does a voice. In the former, it’s real personality but masked power, and in the latter it’s masked personality but real power. Obviously he isn’t an actor or anything, so “Superman” is pretty close to who he really is.
But he’s in part based on Samson, so being hairless would be odd.
Idk, to me it reads more like “I wasn’t always like this, so sometimes it still feels like I ‘have superpowers’ instead of this just being how I am”
people should just post shirtless Cavill
Because she was created after Lois and the one that got away
Most comics show him as ageless.
Well I don't mind the graying temples Superman of Kingdom Come. Seems to me there's no reason not to show an older Superman actually getting older.
He still outlived Lois and Wonder Woman in that, though.
Right, that's fine. A slowed aging, but not completely beyond the ravages of time.
He fucking outlives everyone. Like, the death of the universe. If you go by Morrison, he becomes a literal golden god.
>Like, the death of the universe.
How does he get yellow sun power at that point though?
No they don't almost every comic that takes place in the future where Superman still exists shows him as aging extremely slowly
Silver Age Superman didn't need to sleep for physical reasons but admitted that he needed to mentally otherwise he'd go crazy.
I always liked this costume to really put the everyman thing in stark relief.
Just like humans then.
A neutron star would work fine (they power him up even more than our sun), and they'll keep emitting radiation for a long time after the rest of the stars in the universe kill themselves. Eventually they'll go out too, but it's going to take a stupid long time for that to happen, so he'll have plenty of time to use his pulsar-granted god-powers to round up literally every atom left in the universe and bring them all together to create a new Big Bang and start everything over again.
He only becomes Superman 1mill because he lived inside a golden star for a fuckload of time.
Of course!
And Lois should be very hairy too.
