Though one time he really did make me lol. It was the Superman Batman cross over cartoon. I saw Batman struggling to kill this one robot and right when he is cornered, Superman comes in and flattens it like nothing. Fvcking funny as shit.

Guess I just never got the appeal. 😮

Superman has left more of an impact on you than you even realize.

So are a lot of other people. 😮

Eh, maybe from the old cartoon. But that's about it. Even in the new Justice League he was never that appealing in comparison to other characters.

Making an impact is not always about appeal.

Indeed.

"Have a strong effect."

Aside from my parents buying things with his logo for me because my name also starts with an S, I can't see much of the impact.

Which is why I said "More of an impact than you even realize."

Proof?

Unless you're going to tell me it's because he has influenced countless of heroes and by extension has impacted me. In which case, stfu.

You'd know the symbol anywhere. You can recite his introduction. You know his Kryptonian name. You can name his powers. You know his secret identity's name and place of work. You know his girlfriend's name. You know his villains. You know his origin. You know much more.

You know it all because everyone knows Superman. He is everywhere.

What the **** is wrong with people?

Aura if anything somehow manages to have even worse taste than you Moo, do not talk to him.

Actually I think that is it for as much as I know. I actually don't know his real name. Kal El? Or something like that.

That doesn't mean he has left an impact on me. I just know stuff about him. 😮

That is pretty sad. And freaking stupid.

I don't know if that was an insult to me or Moo. So I'll just assume both.

I just hope your favorite super hero isn't Batman. If it is, just, **** you. 😐

What is Superman's "introduction"?

That aside, I think msot of that is bullshit. America and most 1st world countries are media obsessive people. I would argue that Superman isn't any more iconic than, say, Snookie.

Whereas if you go to Afghanistan and ask some 8 year old who Superman's girlfriend is, they prolly wouldn't have any idea.

I hate Batman more than Superman. Which is why I never got why they had to ever team up. Except for Kryptonite, Superman can basically handle anything.

My favorite Marvel is Spiderman and DC is Static Shock. Will admit up front that these are flawed heroes. But they aren't idiotic like Batman and boring like Superman.

Edit: Superman's introduction (I think?) is the whole:

"It's a bird! It's a plane! No it's Superman!"

But Static Shock is like, lame as ****. 😐

And shit. Didn't they already have the same ****ing character under the name Black Lightning?

Say it right. Spider-Man.

His cartoon kicked ass.

And I do not bother with details like how to spell his name. I'll call him Peter if it will make you happy.

Superman has been in every form of media, except for perhaps Anime.

The S-Shield is among the most iconic comic logos evar, up there with the Bat Symbol and Spider Symbol. NEITHER OF WHICH ARE SHIELDS I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW.

Edit: Static's cartoon was pretty awesome for a while and Ebon was a badass, but then they started having ****ing Lil' Romeo (Or was it Bow Wow? **** I don't know) guest-star and shit, and everything went to crap.

It should be. It's pretty freaking old.

I thnik it was Romeo. They had Shaq on there eventually. Very lame. But that thing he rode on was so cool.
