I doubt decomposition would be much of a problem for the first while.

Personally, this was one of my favorite parts of Reign of Supermen, as despite being a mulletted, gun-toting guy with no powers and a black costume, Superman was still able to convince Steel that he was the real deal. Though perhaps that should be in the touching moments thread.

Iirc the thing about not depicting Muhammed isn't in the Koran and is a hadith (I think that's the word) thing, so it's only offensive to certain factions? I may be confusing this with the rule against drawing people in general.

He created a super-serum thing, a treatment that could give anybody superpowers. No longer would superpowers be restricted to those lucky enough to be born on Krypton or get struck by lightning while bathed in the right chemicals, now anybody can be super! Well, anybody willing to pay  , or work off the cost of treatment, which is skeevy in its own right and a medium-large sideplot, but no matter. As for that cover, well, Lex kept the off switch on that treatment, and the cover's the result of him remotely depowering a lot of flying superheroes.

With all these terrible DC stories being posted it reminded me of a Superman comic from the 1960s or early 1970s with a villain that had a device that transferred powers from Superman to himself. I think he had some sort of Roman theme going, like he was going to be SUPER CAESAR or some drat thing. His power transference chair had settings for just how much power he could drain and ultimately he decided to go for the gusto and drain it all from Superman, but it was causing his own body to explode. Someone must know who this guy is, because I'm hoping to find a panel of that drat chair with the various drain settings on it.

Perry White is kind of a dick for keeping that superpower under wraps. Conjuring up the souls of long-dead conquerors would probably come in handy every time Metropolis gets blown up by Metallo, but nooooo

Big Barda and Mister Miracle are throwing a party for the JLI. Big Barda doesn't know what "weenies" are, but she sure will know it when she sees one. Turns out she can deal with weenies if it makes her husband happy, but only once a year.  Later, Joker causes havoc with a tank and Big Barda and J'onn J'onzz take him out (he's been having a bad day).   Batman has priorities, and weenies aren't one of them. Yes, this is juvenile, but it's the JLI, so that's okay. Justice League International Annual #2.

I appreciate that someone finally pointed out that if Batman's main source of transportation is a car, then he's going to get stuck in city traffic any time he tries to take the Batmobile out in the daytime. Also that batmobile is so obviously just some normal car that has Bats stuck on the hood and hubcaps.

Thank god this was apparently published before the internet was a widespread thing, or Barda would've been in for a rude awakening when googling "what is a weenie?"
