What Would Superman Do?

Do you ever find yourself in a sticky moral situation and find yourself asking “Damn, what would Superman do?”

Let’s play a game, Yea Forums. We post morally dubious situations, whether simple or complex, and decide what the Man of Steel we all know and love would do, keeping in mind that he is in his civilian persona as Clark Kent

The goal is to see how a morally upstanding, but still human individual would conduct themselves.

I’ll start with an easy question: Would Superman pirate a blockbuster, billion dollar movie?

>Would Superman pirate a blockbuster, billion dollar movie?
Somehow I doubt it. Being a reporter, he understands the value of intellectual property and thus would probably not deprive the creators of their profit.

Jimmy Olsen on the other hand? Yeah, he'd pirate that shit in a heartbeat.

Intriguing question to ask. Superman would not jerk off to varying degrees of porn for sure.

Why not? Superman isn’t Christian

if asked, would superman tell a young pregnant woman where the abortion clinic is?

For something as circumstancial as this he'd not get involved and probably just say "Sorry, no idea".

No, he has an stable job, he can pay for it.

Most people who pirate can afford buying or a the very least renting as well. It's done more out of convenience than anything else.

If he knew where it was, yes. Regardless of his views on it, he would give directions to a medical facility

>Would Superman pirate a blockbuster, billion dollar movie?
he's watch it using his super/x-ray vision and super hearing.

Well since supes is a child of the onions, eats corn flakes with water for breakfast, a cup of coffee for lunch, and a piece of chicken with exactly 3 lime beans on the plate just so no one figures out he's a literal God, I'm picking a better, more interesting hero: Spiderman.

I can relate to spiderman. Inherently good. Perpetually broke (fuck the semantics). So fuck yes. Fuck the millionaires, I'm getting my dick sucked on the couch in my redhead girlfriends apparently while I illegally watch Endgame and John Wicke 3. Entertainment for the most part is evil anyway. I'm not funding evil. But I'll be a bystander.

Would Superman allow five people to get run over by a train or pull a lever and cause one person to die; for this scenario, Lex Luthor has placed pieces of kryptonite on each victim, and the train is filled with enough explosives to take out all six potential victims.

Couldnt superman just freeze breath the train?

You know what made Superman unpopular?

The fans romanticizing him instead of just letting him be "the law & order boy scout who you might not agree with or like, but he always gets shit done and saves the day in the end".

But then Mark Waid wrote Birthright. And "le campy lighthearted comfy" reddit literal faggots decided that Superman was "a symbol for hope" and they turned the character into fucking garbage. The industry themselves have gone along with this and it's the fucking worst thing ever. Now Superman is a b-lister and no one seems to care.

And yes, Zach Snyder hurt the character a lot as well.

What’s your point? Superman shouldn’t be a nice guy?

Here's a good one. Tom King is on his way to co-write the script for the Mew God's movie. In all likelihood, there's a 90% chance that the movie' gonna suck and prevent another New Gods adaptation from happening for at least a decade. Is Superman going stand by and let this injustice fly?

Despite being 13% of the US population, a certain ethnic group commits more than 50% of crimes. Due to unregulated births and the West's tendency to play the "good guy" Post-WWII, coupled with interests of the International Market, that very same ethnic group is going to blow up in numbers, and make overpopulation a serious problem. Meanwhile, that same ethnic group is flooding a certain continent and displacing the natives.

What is Superman going to do to save the world?

I mostly go with what Hal Jordan would do

I'm surprised if he hadn't try all the possible kinks in the sutra with Lois (humanly talking).

>"the law & order boy scout who you might not agree with or like, but he always gets shit done and saves the day in the end"

You will have to be more specific on which Superman you are referring to, since Superman is 80+ years old now with over a thousand comics by different writers, all with their own take on the Superman and co.

>inherently good
user, Spiderman was about a week away from being a school shooter when he got his powers. The only reason he didn’t become a super villain after he got them was because of his guilt over uncle Ben dying. Read the first issue, it’s all there.

Also, OMD is still canon, so he still made a deal with the devil.

He could also use super speed to build a third rail making the train go around all the victims.

Superman would encourage people to get along with another, encourage people to see past tribal groupings, initiate dialogues between all groups to build understanding and acceptance, he would work with several organizations and groups to reduce crime by making non criminal activity more attractive and easily accessible, he would stop anyone committing crimes despite this and ensure they get a fair trial that results in sentences that focus more on rehabilitation into society then to punish.
He would work to stop brand criminals even after their sentence is served in such a way that they are unable to reenter society.
He would work to ensure that everyone has access to affordable food, shelter, education and healthcare and he would lead as an example.

Superman sounds like a cuck to me.
>looks like a human but isn't one
>works to undermine society by worming his way through it
Fuck SuperKike! Lex Luthor was right! Race war now!

Why are you afraid of empathic people that genuinely wants to help others?

Chill out and power through?

I somewhat doubt that...
youtube.com/watch?v=m_aMss1p8EQ

Because on a scale such as Superman's, they completely change the dynamics of society. Ignorant "goodness" does nothing to advance, to strenghten humanity, all it does it make it weaker and weaker with each generation, changing the power structures and allowing for the destruction of our creations.

One thing Superman is definitely not is ignorant, he's a journalist and has won awards for his work.

As for weakening humanity that is something he wouldn't do, Superman would encourage Humanity to better itself as a whole from the side offering encouragement and guidance when needed, the only time he truly would step in and take on matters with his own hands is if humanity were facing a threat it currently is unable to deal with such as meteor strikes or giant monsters.
If he steps in and saves people falling of a bridge he would then later ensure that the issues that caused them to fall of in the first place is dealt with.

Yes, well... fuck Superman, and fuck niggers.

That's essentially Superman being pro-choice then.

Something stupid is gonna be the answer every time

>The industry themselves have gone along with this and it's the fucking worst thing ever.
It's like how SEGA fell for the "gotta go fast" marketing meme, and instead of adapting a 2d platforming game into a 3d platforming game, there is this weird focus on "speed" that ruins them all.

Pretty much a combo of these

No way, Superman grew up on a rural farm and has a great deal of family values not to mention the fact that he'd be a huge proponent of adoption considering he was adopted himself. It's weird how many comic writers seem to forget these facts.

So what would Superman say? Lie and say “I don’t know”? I doubt it

He'd probably ask her if she considered adoption, I doubt he'd let her just go to the abortion clinic without some sort of talking to

>does nothing to advance, to strenghten humanity, all it does it make it weaker and weaker with each generation
Nigga, you're almost quoting Lex Luthor here. You might wanna turn off that computer of yours, sit down quietly and rethink your life.

He's not one to force his worldview on others so while he would never advocate for someone to get an abortion, assuming he's against them as you are suggesting, he wouldn't tell someone to not get one either. He'd likely bring up adoption as you suggest, ask her if she had considered all of her options, but I can't imagine he wouldn't tell her where a medical facility was, he's not going to lie to her and she would find out from somewhere else anyway, goodness know why she has to ask Superman of all people.

Superman has always been pro letting people make their own decisions.

Self determination and agency is a big deal with him. That's the core of why he doesn't do things like overthrow governments and just solve everyone's problems.

Except if Superman viewed the fetus as a living being, he would try and prevent it's death.

Would Superman browse this site? And if he did, which boards?

I get that you are 8 and think Yea Forums is a super secret cool club (no girls allowed) and that you want to share your completely awesome original edgy cool theory about how Jews secretly runs the world and that black people are criminals that breeds like rabbits with everyone here and for them to tell you how cool you are so your pee pee gets hard and you can forget the fact that the black girl turned you down because she thinks you are a creep despite how cool and awesome you are but Yea Forums is a bord for discussing comics and cartoons, if you want to shitpost go to Yea Forums or /pol/.

Damn, you didn't have to do it him that hard

It's really obvious which people in this thread read a lot of superman and which ones don't.

He would probably educate people how to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the firs place if stopping abortion was his goal. If someone got pregnant and there were no other viable alternative he would probably even encourage abortion.

>you're almost quoting Lex Luthor here
That's the point, you moron. Why are you niggers so stupid? Really, why? It gets kinda sad at some point.
>all this buttblasted projection for a simple Luthor LARP in a Superman thread
Why are you Superfags so retarded? Is it a "thing" you must have in order to be a fan of his? Also
>black girl turned you down
I'm not American. I've never seen a negress, and I'm happy for that. I prefer human women.
Stop samefagging, it's in bad taste.

It's odd, because I have a similar background, but my grandfather died. So he's still relatable. And I'd also make a deal with the devil to bring back/preserve a loved one. So I'm still on point.

He goes on /fit/ and posts his body every time he is asked, and assures everyone he is natty and they can all look like him and that we are ALL gonna MAKE IT.

It's you again, crazy slavanon

Would Superman be fine with lolicon?

>N-n-no you
Try harder next time

>literally use the most cliche lines
>acompany the text with reaction pics to drive home the point
>nigger still misses the point
Christ user, lurk a bit and learn how to properly reply. Also, work on your punctuation. This piece here is downright atrocious.

No, this site is terrible for everyone's mental health, but if he did he would try to convince anons to not be so hateful to one another, to maybe go outside and be nice to their neighbors, explore the world. And then when people call him a SJW faggot cuck he'd never come back.

>Would Superman pirate a blockbuster, billion dollar movie?
if he wasnt gonna spend money to buy it any way then its not a lost sale :^)
does anyone have the Yea Forums copypasta of the guy who torrents a movie to impress a girl and says its not a lost sale because he wasnt gonna buy it anyway?

>I’ll start with an easy question: Would Superman pirate a blockbuster, billion dollar movie?
Do you really believe Superman's never gotten bored while waiting for an appointment and decided to xray vision the theater next door? He doesn't strike me as the type who would be too adamant about that kind of thing.

Silver Age up to about Busiak's version where he was a poor orphan living in the bowls of the printing press probably wouldn't have. I'm not even sure current Jimmy would (New 52 was filthy rich).

Stop being pedantic - if you were a robber asking a cop for directions to the nearest bank, the cop wouldn't start questioning you about your interest in or desire to rob said bank, likewise if you were an arsonist asking a fireman for directions to a lumberyard, they wouldn't ask if you had matches on you, both would just be polite and answer if they knew, it's simple common courtesy, more so because both are, in essence, acting as a public utility while in uniform/on duty and out in public view.

>Superman grew up on a rural farm
I'm a rural person who grew up in the same county as in canon superman, you would not believe how many secret abortions farmers get their teenage daughters who got knocked up by a star football player

Fucking Southern Burgers...

no superman wouldn’t use fucking Yea Forums. i doubt superman would even have time or energy for normie sites like reddit and youtube. even if he did use the internet, being a journalist he’d probably just use news websites. maybe facebook to communicate with his family.

this is prob a joke but no way superman would use /fit/ if he used this website at all. for what reason would he even use /fit/? lying to people and flexing his bod?

Superman could just sit outside the theater with X-ray vision and super hearing for any movie he wants, for free, had he the spare time. He could even rst whatever snack be brought himself.

yeah, we all know he Could, just like how any of us Could pirate a movie. the question is WOULD he

like that other dude said, north or south. nobody gives a single shit about kansas

That would not be piracy because he is not receiving a copy of the film. He probably doesn't have the spare time to watch films like this though and probably only sees movies when he dedicates family time with Lois and his son to see a film.

People give a fuck about Clark Kent and he's from Kasnas, Smallville is in Kansas. Still though we aren't south and that's all you need to know

Attached: ball-of-twine1.jpg (1024x768, 144K)

just because it’s not technically pirating that still doesn’t make it morally correct. i agree that he probably wouldn’t watch a movie for the sole purpose of watching one but if he were to want to, he’d buy a ticket or a dvd or whatever with his own money

No, as a symbol for other people to strive for.
Jesus, did you even read my post?

Does Constantine support Norf or Souf?

I'm neither British nor have I read enough Hellblazer to know his personality.

I imagine he would support whatever is more convenient at the time.

It's always me, user

Superman has always been a symbol of hope learn your fucking history idiot. You do realize his origin with gun slinging mafia retards right?

He might, except he has no legal basis for doing so as abortion is legal, and Superman usually attempts to operate within the boundaries of the law whenever possible. He might have opinions on whether or not abortion is moral and he may even feel obligated to talk to her about whether she's thought this through fully, as suggests. But he's not going to stop her from making a choice that is fully within her legal rights.

Good points.
Counter point: that one time he would have completely let a woman commit suicide (illegal) if she felt like it after talking.

Yeah but she was intending to kill herself, just like - assuming Superman sees fetus' as human life, the pregnant woman would be intending to kill it.
Suicide is illegal so police can physically stop and apprehend actively suicidal people.

Well she hadn't committed suicide yet had she? So she hadn't broken the law. Besides which is suicide actually illegal? Seems a bit pointless. If they succeed then you can't charge them, and if they fail then you're just punishing the victim.

>Yeah but she was intending to kill herself, just like - assuming Superman sees fetus' as human life, the pregnant woman would be intending to kill it.

So then Superman acted the same in both situations. He tried to talk the woman out of suicide but refused to use force to make her do something she didn't want to do. Same with the pregnant woman.

Are you one of those dudes that gets mad when people say Superman supports immigration

Superman is literally an illegal alien.
I don't know who needs to hear it, but there it is.

He wouldn't enjoy fapping to woman with daddy issues brought by possible molestation...

Speak for yourself.
