They're probably the same type of person who watches The Wizard Of Oz and says "hey monkeys can't fly?!"

It's probably been deleted along with all the other threads where coherent arguments were formulated.

I'm no expert, but it was probably much closer to the truth originally. I mean, not literally steel, but close to the same strength as steel. But obviously, Superboy or Superman is considerably stronger than steel by leaps and bounds. More than a single bound, too, so it's not a particularly good comparison.

"The man far stronger than steel" isn't as catchy, though.

Can you imagine if Superboy was in the Marvel Universe? "Boy of Adamantium" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Faster than a speeding bullet.
More powerful than a locomotive.
Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound.
The Famous Krypton is now the Man of Unobtainium. Superman!


Did they really say "infamous" Krypton? And shouldn't that be Kryptonian?

Oh, is that what he was saying? Thanks. You've a better ear than I have. And that makes the Krypton reference correct, too.

The infant of Krypton. Excellent. Good, good.

I see it has a CC option, but apparently it skips that part for some reason. Probably whoever CC'ed it had a hard time understanding it, too.

And merge the properties like Vince McMahon did with wrestling?

Now see, if this had been Marvel the fan would have produced a No-Prize explanation for why he didn't rust whenever he drank water.
