![]() If Superman always wins, and Clark always wins.that's not compelling drama. I forget who said this (maybe it was me, but I probably stole it from someone smarter) but someone said that Clark Kent is how Superman tastes defeat. Not being able to have kids is one of those drawbacks. I believe there should be major, painful drawbacks to being Superman to balance out all the fantastic things about him. ![]() The guy's life was flawless, and that was boring. I think this was an issue in early post-Crisis where he was a high school football star, prom king, had the amazing job and all kinds of awards, and was married to the most amazing, badass woman in the DCU (and didn't care enough about Krypton to feel its loss). Given everything Clark can do and how amazing his life is, I think there's a real danger of him losing his gravitas when *everything* works out in his favor. I also don't think Clark should have children anyway. It'll never happen and it'd be bad business if it did, since Kara and Jon can generate solid revenue, but I think that's how it "should" be, from a pure storytelling perspective. If I had things my way that would be it for living Kryptonians a dog and some crooks trapped in space prison. ![]() And Power Girl, who isn't from the same universe so she doesn't really count. I do allow, in my own head, for a couple exceptions Krypto and the Zone criminals. Is that because you want Clark to be the only Kryptonian?More or less, yeah. ![]()
