"Hey, I saw someone doing something illegal to a capitalist!"

No you fucking didn't.

Superman cares about decency.

In the words of Captain America:

"Let's not get carried away. I've known good vampires. People who never asked for this curse, who don't inflict their pain and hunger on others. But I've never known a good Nazi."

What about if the fire spread to surrounding buildings?

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

It’s a good thing dealerships are usually completely separate from other buildings, and by quite a way!

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

What about it?

[–] techclothes@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Well, he is superman, so I'm sure it'll be fine.

The militarily would ~~send~~ asks nicely Superman to deal with the "domestic terrorism" that is threatening the 'murikan way of life & save the innocent glorious cars.

Also Sexxy Lexxy would have produced way better cars.

Idk, it kinda looks like the cyber truck to me:

Ass ships?

You mean like

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Superman of the comics (from about the mid-80s onward) would tell the military, politely, to go find a location to fornicate with themselves.

Also the animated Superman. He took would tell them to go fuck themselves. Neither one would actually curse.

That being said, both incarnations would put the fire out, if only to prevent environmental damage.

Possibly by dropping a large block of ice on the building.

Superman in the '30s would be lighting the fires.

At least make sure no non management workers are in trouble. You don't have to put the fires out.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 69 points 1 day ago

It's Superman. Surely with his x-ray vision he could see that there was no one left.

[–] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago

That's why he listens.

[–] neuro_88@lemm.ee 17 points 1 day ago

Good job Superman.

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

imo it would be funnier if he started taking pictures (since he's supposed to be a journalist, right?)

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 30 points 1 day ago

That's Jimmy Olsen's whole purpose. Even Clark gets to "not my job" this situation.

[–] Itzdan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Man of fire?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I knew Superman was a domestic terrorist.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I’m not an expert but it might be tricky to argue that an actual bonafide genuine alien could be a domestic terrorist…

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Superman is as American as apples.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

That is a sentence I cannot disagree with.

I mean, there was that time he tore down the homes of a bunch of low income people.

[–] dick_fineman@discuss.online 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Was that the MOVE bombing? Because I'm pretty sure he blamed that on a black mayor.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

From January 1939, Superman single-handedly tears down a low-income neighborhood. He wasn't attacking a group of political activists. He just decided that a group of homes were slums and thus worthy of being demolished.

Lol what amazing rationale there "hmm, if I destroy it, the government will build something better almost immediately! SIMPLE!"

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Superman is almost as great a menace to society as that maniac Spiderman.
