Why Superman Will Always Suck - Bam! Kapow!

The argument against Superman as a sympathetic character is just as appropriate for any overpowered hero, such as the cited ‘Burly Brawl’ between Neo and the mob of Agent Smiths in The Matrix Reloaded.

As counterexamples, however, excluding Kingdom Come (which also comes in for bashing at the article’s end) the notion of Superman has seen some  compelling permutations via conceits like Elseworlds. A few include JLA’s The Nail, wherein a nail punctures the tire of the Kents and prevents them from reaching the infant Kal-El first, who is instead raised among the Amish; Red Son, where he is raised in the Soviet Union instead of the US; and the revamped Squadron Supreme (released as Supreme Power) parallel universe where an invulnerable alien foundling is raised under strict government control to become Hyperion. Two more meta alternatives are Secret Identity, where a smalltown teen has the misfortune of being named ‘Clark Kent’ in a world raised on Superman comics…until he suddenly develops real powers; and It’s a Bird, an autobiographical tale of a new writer (Steven Seagle) deciding how to tackle such as iconic character with any meaningful modern perspective.

For related Superman entertainment, there’s always the quintessential essay by Larry Niven about the myriad obstacles facing his sex life - "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" - that recalls engineering disproofs of Santa Claus which feature reindeer traveling 3,000 times the speed of sound.

More recent fare can be found in the Michael Chabon’s piece "Secret Skin" (subtitled "an essay in unitard theory") in the New Yorker which explores the absurdity of superhero costuming - a fuller realization of the "No capes!" rant by supersuit doyenne Edna Mode in The Incredibles.
