I think he wouldn't be so gay if they let someone use him well. Think of what Priest could do with him? Those would be great stories. I was reading something about the character, I think it was Joe Casey ranting or something, but I thought it was very true. Superman is an icon. You can't do anything with an icon, because it would upset the status quo. With icon's, you can only rehash and touch upon previous stories, most notably the origin. How many times within the past 5 years has a Supes origin been retold? Too many times. If someone like Priest could come in and screw stuff up, I'd buy it.
