Some OP.
Lex get off 4chan, don't you have a company to run
>>81566615
Rape doesn't exist in the DC world. You have a point with the tortured and murdered thing though. Maybe he just blocks them out so he can concentrate on playing world of warcraft.
>>81566654
Rape exist, it's masturbation that doesn't
>>81566686
Bullshit. Show me one instance of rape besides the stupid Dr. Light bullshit that doesn't even count becauset he writer said it was a mistake to add something so stupid. Just one case besides that and I'll let you have a win. It can be from any canon story from any timeline. Go on I'll wait.
>>81566615
Anon, you're also aware that people are suffering, and even dying of hunger in Africa. What have you done about it?
>>81566654

Tell that to Sue.

i swear this thread happens every day.
Why don't you read any of the other superman clone stories that address shit like this.
>>81566996
Even actual Superman stories address this, but why should OP read comics when he can shitpost instead?
>>81566615
>he has to do it all
He does this for free on his own time asshole>>81566615
>>81566739
Nightwing was raped
>>81566739
http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Sexual_assault
Probably not a good source, but I found this listing a number of instances where rape has occured in the DC universe.
>>81566652
>>81566739
Dick Grayson has been raped often enough that all I really need to say is Dick Grayson.
>>81566739
Dick Grayson.
Always-on super hearing is kind of stupid for this reason, I think
It's fine if it's within a 100 mile radius or if he can focus really hard and hear something from the other end of a continent but the notion he's able to hear someone getting mugged in Thailand from the opposite side of the world it turns into one of those "Why doesn't Reed Richards cure cancer?" situations
>>81567080
>>81567225
>>81567270
Dick Grayson doesn't count because he's a slut and sluts can't be raped.
>>81567356
It's overplayed as a negative anyway by edgelords like OP
>>81567027
In the worst way. Every time a Superman or a Superman clone tries to fix things, some incredibly contrived coincidence happens or the characters start acting like idiots for no reason. Like Peace on Earth. Bringing boxes of grain to people doesn't solve the problem in real life, why would it in a comic? Why not use all those super powers productively and stabilize a war-torn country so the farmers can actually establish themselves?.
>>81566652
>literally comparing some random guy on 4chan to Superman
>>81567356
>Why doesn't Reed Richards cure cancer?
Reed Richards gets shit on for this because he's white. Wakanda had cures for all diseases for centuries and they are so racist they never shared it with other countries.
Being Clark Kent is what keeps Superman from snapping and going full dictator. There's no such thing as a high stress job that doesn't also give significant leave to avoid psychological breaks.
>>81567438
oh just stabilize a country, is that all?
that relies on the will of many many other non-super non-boy-scout people in and around that country
>>81567028
well he's the only one who can do it all... except mind control
>>81566615
All of that is indistinguishable noise unless he focuses on one thing at a time.
>>81567625
>oh just stabilize a country, is that all?
Yes, that's all. Incredibly difficult in real life, trivial for someone as powerful and invincible as Superman is depicted as.
The actual answer is that he can't fix everything or the story would end. Fine, that's completely understandable, but don't paint that as a moral victory when it is as ludicrous as not killing the Joker.
>>81566615
>DCasual trying this hard to justify the recent supergod fantasy
>>81566739
>>81567374
So now we have two examples that apparently don't count: Doctor Light and Dick Grayson. Anymore we should know about?
>>81567549
This is a good explanation.
>>81567718
Would you like to explain how super strength would bring peace to the middle east?
>>81566739
didn't the invisible man die from rape
>>81567718
One man can't fix everything
>>81567992
Collect or disable every single weapon (not difficult given you are invincible and have superspeed.) Do this continually in the background. While you are doing this, build infrastructure (which know how to do, given that time you read enough medical manuals to become a world-class surgeon in a micro-instant) that supports a high standard of living but require salaried jobs to maintain, Give the US some of your magic technology that makes oil largely irrelevant so they stop periodically destabilizing the region. And so on.
Most people just want to live their lives in peace. Remove the barriers and the people who exploit them and they will.
>>81567625
>oh just stabilize a country, is that all?
that relies on the will of many many other non-super non-boy-scout people in and around that country
>Superman whole things consist in doing the impossible and believing in people
>Can't do something because is very hard and requires relying on other people.
>>81567718
>trivial for someone as powerful and invincible as Superman is depicted as.
How the fuck is Superman supposed to bring economic, political and social stability to a country overnight?
Without the SMBC answer.
Wasn't the chick from watchmen raped by one of the heroes?
>>81568285
>superman builds a hospital
>angry snackbar blows it up
wow thanks superman, you sure fixed all the political turmoil in the world. i can't wait to see him fix north korea by getting rid of kim jong un and creating a power vacuum that makes the country even worse.
>>81568431
>>angry snackbar blows it up
With what bomb? Remember, you have super speed and super senses.
>>81568431
>angry snackbar blows it up
Or superman stops him before he blows anything up, like he does with every other supervillan,
>>81567398
>Superman can hear you fapping
>>81568487
>With what bomb?
With the bomb you made with everyday household items.
>>81568517
I have a feeling you guys haven't read any of the stories where superman attempts to make the world better by becoming a dictator that controls everything. Superman can't go around throwing every single political and religious extremist in jail, and he certainly can't sense every time someone is about to do something bad.
>>81566739
Batman
>>81568487
>He blows it up while you are off in deep space fighting mongul.
Seriously, is almost as if you people thought that the only location in the dcu is earth, no other living being had the powerset of superman and the greatest threat the earth could possibly face is an angry snackbar.
>>81568487
Just because he has super hearing doesn't mean he knows everything that's happening on the entire planet at the same time.
>>81568633
>you made
So something that would produce noise and residue that would be difficult for a regular person to detect but easy for someone who can hear stuff halfway around the world.
>I have a feeling you guys haven't read any of the stories where superman attempts to make the world better
This whole thing started because I think Peace on Earth is really dumb and self-indulgent. Every story like that introduces contrivances and limitations not found in other stories.
>>81568714
Why wouldn't Martian Manhunter beat up Mongul?
>>81568856
>Why wouldn't Martian Manhunter beat up Mongul?
Does he have chocos?
>>81566615
his identity is more important
because the people he loves is more important
same goes for everyone elsebesides, he's probably used to it by now
>>81566652
> easy for someone who can hear stuff halfway around the world.
That's not how his powers work.
It's just white noise unless he specifically listens for something. He can't hear every individual sound on earth at the same time.
>>81568714
How many powerhouse hero are currently failing to bring eternal peace to Earth?

>>81566652
>>81569151
Not all of them are the Eternal Symbol of Hope, though. If they pooled their resources though they could probably make it work.
>>81568856
How do you suggest superman take care of corrupt leadership?
>>81569151
Flash
Not sure if considered a powerhouse but Firestorm could help a lot in improving the earth
>>81569244
By creating conditions for the everyday populace such that they have time to police their leaders instead having to focus their time and energy on not getting blown up. Respects free will, solves the problem.
>>81569244
Not letting them oppress people, so they can change the Government by themselves.
Which is pretty much what he did in birthright.
>>81569343
>they have time to police their leaders
You think el presidente is going to let his population police him?
>>81569394
What's stopping another corrupt leader from taking over after the current one is gone?
>assuming DC Earth has the same crime rate as our Earth
>implying there aren't thousands of superheros operating around the world 24/7
>implying regular street crime isn't replaced by incompetent dumbasses in gimicky costumes in most major cities
I doubt he's really letting much go tbqf
don't know what you are reading but he prevents this in injustice. All hail hitler supes
>>81569438
How is he going to stop them? With what gun? Is he going to turn off the water supply Superman himself built?
>>81569509
>Is he going to turn off the water supply Superman himself built?
yes, he knows some guys
>>81569438
You mean if the person chosen by people?, if that's the case just replace it.
And superman is there to prevent any violent takeover.
>>81566739
Uh, Bueno Excellente? The character entirely themed around rape?
You picked the wrong battle dude, DC is the rapiest cape univetse by far
>>81569509
With the army he controls.
Unless superman jailed all of his soldiers and destroyed all of his weapons, in which case I don't think el presidente is going to let that happen without causing a shitstorm that makes everything even worse.
>>81569642
>You mean if the person chosen by people?, if that's the case just replace it.
With who? A lot of awful leaders were elected, what's stopping another awful leader from being elected?
>>81569562
Okay, so let's imagine Superman built a water supply, handed it over to the corrupt leader, who is now using it as leverage against the population. He could turn it back on, or build another one. Or he could intercept the orders any time they're given. Again, invincible hyper-competent superspeed.
>>81569759
>destroyed all of his weapons
Yes, What shitstorm is he going to cause? It's 3 am, and he has a powerful army. It's 3:30 am and every single weapon in the country is gone, along with the factories that supplied them. What shitstorm?
>hears people fucking and pooping all day long
>sees every fart no matter who smelt it first
>probably smells them all at the same time, too
>>81569905
Okay, so now el presidente is mad and calls up his allies and tells them that some asshole just stole all of his shit. El presidente and the countries that are allied with him urge the UN to stop Superman, who is violating at least several international laws.
The UN attempts to tell Superman to stop breaking the law and give back all of the shit he took from el presidente. What does Superman do now?
If superman genuinely began participating in conflicts and reshaping the world into what he deems correct it wouldn't take long for one of earth's governments to hire Lex Luthor in order to annihilate him for acting against their interests.
>>81569905
The fact that he just destroyed the livelihood of everyone working in those factories and, since the military of that country has no weapons, all the surrounding countries with a beef against the dictatorship are going to roll up with their armies. Not to mention that since Superman has removed all the weapons, the oppressed populace will target the new defenseless government forces for reprisals. And if Rwanda has taught us anything, you don't need a gun to carry out mass murder.
>>81570105
>What does Superman do now?
Returns all of them in a molten pile.
>>81570105
He wouldn't even know who took all the weapons.
>>81569759
Without fear of oppression, they can just hold another election, and in the meantime superman can go and build some libraries and schools so people can expand their culture and choose better leaders next time.
>>81570188
The world's governments are now all against Superman for murdering a bunch of world leaders, and Superman has no choice but to turn himself in or murder everyone on the planet.
>>81570199
There is only person on the entire planet who could possibly do that. How would he not instantly figure out how his entire army magically disappeared?
>>81570186
>with their armies
What armies?
>you don't need a gun
I didn't say gun. I said weapon. Machetes are weapons, But again, how are they going to murder the government when there is an invincible, superspeeding light preventing them from doing so?
The livelihoods of the people in the factories will be replaced by working in factories "mysteriously" emerging in the same location that do not produce guns.
>>81570324
How is Superman going to stop election fraud?
>>81570352
Punch everyone in the dick.
>>81570331
>There is only person on the entire planet who could possibly do that. How would he not instantly figure out how his entire army magically disappeared?
Not really, Flash could the same thing, and Superman can just blame Barry.
>>81570331
>>The world's governments are now all against Superman for murdering a bunch of world leaders
Returns the weapons in a big molten pile, not the people.
>>81570385
Hell, why not Zatanna? She's literally magic, maybe she did it?
>>81570331
>There is only person on the entire planet who could possibly do that
Flash, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, and a bunch of other characters could do it. For all this dictator knows, a wizard or a ghost could have done it.
>>81570343
The armies of the neighboring nations that Superman hasn't attacked yet.
Also, is Superman going to take hammers, axes, kitchen knives, sports equipment, gasoline, and bricks too?
Where is he getting the materials to build new factories? What are they building? Are the economic and logistic structures in place to support the new factories? Are the people who worked in the weapons factories even trained to use the equipment in the new factories? How are the factories going to survive without existing supply and market chains? Can the market even support the increased production from the new factories?
>>81567374
Let me tell you why that's wrong:
1. The letter law doesn't care who the victim is, only the crime and perpetrator.
2. I don't need any other points.
>>81570324
>so people can expand their culture and choose better leaders next time.
So basically Superman will keep killing the country's leader until they elect a leader that isn't shit? What is he going to do about the leader's supporters? Is he going to throw them in jail for having an opinion?
>>81570385
>>81570433
>>81570485
How does shifting the blame to someone else solve the problem? El presidente is still mad, and he's still complaining to his allies and the UN that someone is fucking with him. In fact, now that he doesn't know who did it, he's blaming countries he doesn't like, causing tensions to escalate.
>>81570389
Oh okay, so now el presidente is pissed, so he and his allies declare war on Superman. What does Superman do now?
So suddenly people have all the skills to just switch jobs and work these magical factories, and these schools that were built have no need of teachers and the libraries impart culture by osmosis suddenly everyone can read. All guns and machetes are taken away, and all knives, and sticks and stonesand bathroom cleaners, and fertilizer.
Why don't you just put the whole world in a bottle.
>>81570597
>1. The letter law doesn't care who the victim is, only the crime and perpetrator.
Aggressor laws say different.
>>81570352
He had x-ray vision, super hearing and super speed, he could count every vote in a less than a second before they can be tampered with, stop anyone trying to buy votes, protecting the urns from any "accident", etc.
>>81570588
>The armies of the neighboring nations that Superman hasn't attacked yet.
It's only 3:30 am. Plenty of time until sunrise.
>Also, is Superman going to take hammers, axes, kitchen knives, sports equipment, gasoline, and bricks too?
Sure. Are you waving it threateningly? It's going away.
>Where is he getting the materials to build new factories?
The earth. Mining isn't hard when rock crumples like paper.
>Are the economic and logistic structures in place to support the new factories? Are the people who worked in the weapons factories even trained to use the equipment in the new factories? How are the factories going to survive without existing supply and market chains? Can the market even support the increased production from the new factories?
Depends on each individual country. It's a complicated answer, but given he can read "every" surgical book in an instant I'm sure he would be well-read on the country's abilities and needs if he spared two minutes each.
>>81570597
>>81570716
Take your gay shit to yahoo messenger, nobody cares.
>>81570485
You realize that the "Superman takes over the world" type stories expressly ignore all the canonical resources governments have at their disposal? The moment Superman's actions stop aligning with the US government's desires is the moment long after the supertech, public superhuman operatives, and black ops superhuman operatives have already been deployed.
>>81569905

Congratulations, Superman is now in a special prison he can't escape from.
There are so many fucking stories where Superman takes over the planet, yet you faggots still ask why he doesn't do it.
So suddenly people have all the skills to just switch jobs and work these magical factories, and these schools that were built have no need of teachers and the libraries impart culture by osmosis suddenly everyone can read.

>So basically Superman will keep killing the country's leader until they elect a leader that isn't shit? What is he going to do about the leader's supporters? Is he going to throw them in jail for having an opinion?
Who said anything about killing, i'm talking about Superman overseeing elections, and protecting people from the Government oppression, no need to kill anyone.
>>81571055
>his super pals
Oh yeah, i'm sure Batman and Wonder Woman will be totally cool with Superman being god-emperor of earth.
>>81570674
>Why don't you just put the whole world in a bottle
Why not? Besides, you're heavily underestimating the people who live in the Republic of El Presidente. Brain drain aside, they're not just ignorant dirt farmers, they just don't have the resources and stability required. When you fix that, the rest flows naturally. Including all these young men in El Presidente's weaponless army who enlisted just for the guaranteed salary.
>>81570935
>>81571007
Again, all of those stories introduce contrivances to make it suddenly not work, either by introducing limitations that don't regularly exist or by making people act unreasonable. That's fine for a story, but don't pretend it's a moral victory.
>>81570718
Great, you're relying on the word of a single person with ulterior motives being the arbiter of a fair election. Also electronic voting is a thing.
>>81570830
So now he's destroyed the mining and building industry as well, destabilized other nations, literally foreseen every single possible outcome of a global economic system, completely restructured a nation's economy, and, since you didn't bring it up, I'm assuming used his ability to read every book in an instant to impart immediate knowledge and skills to workers.
>>81571054
Obviously the change would take time, but it would still be a lot faster than i would be without superman intervention.
>>81571143
>contrivances to make it suddenly not work, either by introducing limitations that don't regularly exist or by making people act unreasonable
What? You think that if an entire country had their army disarmed overnight, nobody would care? None of their allies would be on their side? None of the other world leaders would be worried about Superman disarming them overnight?
You think that if Superman fucked with a country, nobody would care? Are you 12 years old or something?
>>81571159
>So now he's destroyed the mining and building industry as well
Do things not need maintenance? Do economies not need to grow? All he needs to do is build a baseline and prevent miscreants from exploiting it. The people will progress on their own once the stumbling blocks are taken away.
> I'm assuming used his ability to read every book in an instant to impart immediate knowledge and skills to workers.
No, he picks up the slack while they are training and gradually weans them.
>>81571271
No, because that is this hypothetical scenario and not a published book. I am saying that in Superman can't save the world stories, authors introduce elements or power-limitations that make him unable to save the world they wouldn't have if the story was about anything else,
>>81571055
Oh that's cute, you think the Suicide Squad is all the government has.
>>81571436
>because that is this hypothetical scenario and not a published book
What world do you live in where every single country is 100% isolated and has no contact with other countries?
You actually fucking think that if a country's military was completely destroyed, nobody would care.
>>81571657
Where are you pulling this from?
>>81566615
But you can bet that when the Governor's yacht hits a reef, he'll be there in a jiffy to pull his ass out of the fire. He'll even hang around for a little while to pose for Lois' pictures.

>and prevent miscreants from exploiting it
Why do you hate capitalism.
>>81566652
>godlike being capable of feats most humans can't even conceive of
>some middle-class human nobody on the internet
I don't think you get it.
Besides, for all you know, OP might be here on break and then he goes back to his volunteer job collecting donations for UNICEF.
What do YOU do?
>>81571436
So you've replaced labor intensive, well-paying jobs with a handful of low-pay maintenance work?
And if Superman can do and learn everything in an instant, it's less efficient for him to relinquish work back to normal humans. To maximize value Superman should do all the work then turn over the proceeds to the people, as he has no need for food, money, or rest.
>>81571745
>Where are you pulling this from?
Common sense? Holy shit are you really so naive that you think that if a country's army magically got destroyed overnight, nobody would care?
>>81571271
The amount of time required for Superman to police all nations, and make no doubt all nations would be plotting against him after he overthrows the first, would actually stop him from helping the world or impart all the knowledge he gains by super reading to the people he was "liberating". These people would have their lives in all facets ruined. Superman would be forced to provide for all these innocents for them to survive. At which point he needs even more time spent focusing his efforts on that. He becomes the simultaneous source of human suffering and the temporary relief from said suffering. Should he ever stop millions die. He actually sets in motion the destruction of what he values about humanity in others, and the part of him that is human. A great many contrivances would have to be I produced to make the superman control machine to be anything greater than a glorified human cattle farm.
Yes he might be able to make sure the people are alive, but he fails to allow them to live.
Martha probably wills her own death from pure shame.
>>81571932
>nobody would care?
When did I ever say that? Quote the post, I am honestly confused where you got this impression.
>>81571909
>So you've replaced labor intensive, well-paying jobs with a handful of low-pay maintenance work?
No, we replaced weapon manufacture with other kinds of industrial manufacture.
>less efficient
So? It respects free will and doesn't put the world in a bottle, while still actually saving it.
>>81572058
>I am honestly confused where you got this impression.
Because you're saying that nobody would react negatively to a country becoming disarmed except that country. That doesn't make any sense.
>>81567836
>>81566739
Swamp Thing was raped back when he was DC rather than Vertigo. John Constantine has been raped over and over and over, in a literal sexual sense. Once by Swamp Thing, even, which was also in a DC book.
>>81572131
>nobody would react negatively
Quote the post where I said this.
>>81572171
Okay then, so how would other countries react?
>>81567718
You know the only way a single person can stabilize a whole country is to rule over it with an iron fist. You really want Superman to go all dictator on half of the world?
>>81572223
In different ways, depending on their relationship to whichever country Superman is currently fixing. The ones likely to pose a problem would be dealt with first, in much the same way.
>>81572058
Except by lowering efficiency he's lowering the standard of living for those people.
>talking about rapes in DC comics
>forgetting the iconic raping of Batgirl
Come on /co/...
>>81572274
So Superman starts a domino affect and has to the control the whole world. As each additional nation reacts negatively to Superman and get restructured, more and more react negatively. It also doesn't take much to get the general populace against alien invader/destroyer of humanity.
>>81566615
Sounds like a religious god, can save everyone, chooses not to.
I joked about this being Supes mocking disaster victims a while back, from the sounds of it because of all the retarded slow motion and the way he was portrayed I wasn't far off, reviews say he seems more like he feels like it's a burden to have to help people rather than actually wanting to be a superhero.
>>81572274
>The ones likely to pose a problem would be dealt with first, in much the same way.
So Superman is going around disarming a bunch of countries, and other countries are okay with this?
They wouldn't be. Why would any fucking country be cool with a guy that's going around and destroying everyone's military? Do you think people would think "nah, he'll stop before he gets to me", or would people think "holy fuck an alien is going around and destroying the world's armies jesus christ someone stop him"?
>>81572337
In the short term, but not in the long term, which is theoretically the goal here. He wants to teach people to fish, which occasionally requires him to actually catch one for them in the meantime but the goal is off in the distance.
>>81572378
>general populace against alien invader/destroyer of humanity.
What are they going to do, shoot him? That would be a valid ending to a Superman can't save the world story, though, People in power get too spooked and hire Lex to kill Superman, who happens to succeed this time because Superman is focusing on fixing things instead of fighting. That wouldn't introduce arbitrary limitations into the story to make it work or making not saving the planet into a moral victory.
>>81572484
It is a burden.
The man just wants to have a normal life with his girlfriend, instead has to deal the entire world criticizing everythng he does, having to be everywhere at once.
Just because someone has supreme ability, are they indebted to spend their entire life helping you out?
>>81572537
>What are they going to do, shoot him?
No, the justice league will stop him.
>>81572630
Couldn't he just not wear the spandex?
>>81572631
Seems like some would agree with it and some wouldn't. But that's potentially also a valid answer, in that some JL members are so petty they don't want to actually fix things and their plan succeeds.
>>81567398
If I were Superman, being able to hear all those good things as well would make the cries for help even worse. You know that woman getting raped is coming home from celebrating her graduation. The man on the floor dying of a heart attack was 2 days away from getting married. You hear all these nice things and it makes ignoring them in their bad times all the more hard.
>>81572702
Actually it already happened in injustice.
The best way someone like Superman could use his powers for good is to show up every day at some sort of power reactor and just fly really fast in a generator for 16 hours and give the world free power. Punching one thug robbing a bank isn't gonna do shit.

That's a good example of what I'm talking about. Emperor Superman is doing his thing, mixture of good and bad, standard free will argument. Then halfway through the story, he suddenly becomes much more evil than before because the writers remembered that he's supposed to be the villain.

>around the world
i dont think his hearing is that good
>>81570125
That is exactly what happened when Swamp Thing conquered Gotham City, and it totally worked.
>>81572537
No, in the long-term. According to the powerlevel you've given Superman, he's capable of instantaneously disarming an entire country of weaponry both absolute, contextual, and situational, disarming all adjacent nations of weaponry both absolute, contextual, and situational, razing weapon factories, rebuilding the factories into completely different ones, creating complex machinery out of raw materials he's stolen, keeping those factories running at 100% capacity while simultaneously training new workers, while simultaneously single-handedly keep the peace over an entire country, and setting up, monitoring, and adjudicating a fair election while reacting to natural disasters and crime worldwide. There is no way there wouldn't be massive drop in standard of living once Superman stopped running the factories.
>>81571840
I don't think YOU get it. Yeah, he's effectively a god, but the point is that he can't solve all of our problems, otherwise humanity would end up becoming completely dependant on him. At the end of the day, he's supposed to be an inspiration for the common man, to show that good is still well alive and kicking, and that you have no excuse for not helping out.
>>>81572857
Yeah, him and the flash could easily provide free energy to the entire world if they wanted.
>>81573382
Is not like he has to do everything at the same time, just like he doesn't fight every villan, repair all damage they do, work with JL, work as reporter, helps with the farms, and solve problems in other worlds all at the same time.
>>81572863
Injustice only works due to depowering the high power heroes that aren't on Superman's side.
>>81573632
Sure he does. He's the lynchpin to the entire thing. He's looking at the very least years of constant intervention and a continued presence of more than a decade to stabilize thing.
>>81573532
Not really, they're bounded by materials science, grid, storage, and transmission capacity. You'd get a nightmarish level of inequality and economic upheaval.
>>81566615
There's only one Superman and he can appear at one place at a time.
>>81573424
Haha.
Dude.
You're such a poopskin.
>>81566615
How good is his hearing exactly though? I imagine in most iterations, Superman only deals with city-wide troubles most of the time. You'd have to imagine his hearing can go only so far.
>>81567356
I would imagine the answer to that question would be to the equivalent of this.
>>81574671
There that page where someone is dying and needs immediate medical aide, but they're on a boat so Green Arrow just whispers "Clark" and a blur takes the person away

>Sure he does. He's the lynchpin to the entire thing. He's looking at the very least years of constant intervention and a continued presence of more than a decade to stabilize thing.
Spending only a decade to turn the world into a better place seems like a very well spent time.
>>81570674
Do not test me meatbag
>>81567449
Anyone could be a superman
>>81567449
But that's the point of Superman. He's just a guy doing what he can to make the world better. Any one of us can be like him.
>>81573382
>you've given
This is the power level of him as portrayed in stories not about him failing to save the world. It suddenly drops when it is a story about him failing to save the world specifically to allow that story to happen. Everything I've mentioned has occurred in one context or another, just this time applied where it often isn't. I'm not sure why you're incredulous now when these are all pretty standard when taken out of the context of this specific conversation.
There would only be a drop in the standard of living if he raised it to an unsustainable level in the first place, which would be completely counter productive. He wouldn't, for example, build the biggest factory possible and have it run at 100% capacity. He'd build a smaller one running at less than full capacity, and as workers slowly trained he would move away and let them take over. Once wealth was generated and growth was required, people would build their own factories in a stable, violence-less country.
>>81566615
>you wrote that the world doesn't need a savior, but every day i hear people crying for one.
>>81569076
how does he hear unexpected noises then like lois screaming while falling off a building
>>81566654
>Rape doesn't exist in the DC world.
Yeah it does. It mostly happens to men, though.
>>81566686
is this implying that superman can't spend all day fapping listening to other people fapping
