I like the one where Luthor pours millions of dollars into a computer programme that will reveal Superman's identity, then when it reveals that he's Clark Kent, he flies into a rage, cancels the project and sacks the scientist who designed the software, because obviously nobody as powerful as Superman would choose to be a mild-mannered newspaper reporter.

Or when Damien in the Injustice arc responds to Batman's "Icarus Protocol" to shut down the Watchtower before Superman could 'out' him by saying "you're a living computer...and you're supposedly the smartest man alive. You're telling me you can't put four little words online?"

I always got the in universe logic for having a secret identity, but it doesn't make a lot of sense if you dissect it, especially in the Silver age. What're they gonna do, hound him with the press? Put the woman or kid that's already always in loving peril in MORE peril?

Newspaper Spider-Man is the best for this (and everything). He's got to have his secret identity to protect those he loves, but Peter Parker is openly Spider-Man's official photographer, and Spider-Man spends so much time around MJ that people think they're having an affair (and that Peter is really clueless). It's so obvious it seems like people are just pretending not to know Peter is Spider-Man because they don't want to disappoint him.

Pretty sure that at one point someone tried to make the canon that his eyes were portals to another dimension of composed of pure energy, so you're not far off.

Yeah, it's like someone saying that anti-universes are because the electrons orbit the atoms the *other way*, or the planets follow different orbital directions/trajectories. It is interesting when you see the difference in narrative between old comics and new ones - they know they can't just spitball bullshit because some amateur NdT or the *real* NdT will call them on it.

I think old comics were happy to spitball things because their main audience was more than happy to accept "okay, Cyclops' eyes work like a plant and shoot energy" while newer comics' audience contain outspoken and insufferable nerds who can't just accept "shoots punchbeams" as an explanation and need to invent extensive explanations for how things physically work in a world where DNA contains code for turning into steel before they can suspend their disbelief. Like the difference between roleplayers who just want a rough structure to drape their collaborative storytelling over and the ones who need extensive tHAC0 and encounter tables so they know the DM isn't 'cheating'.

Brave Old World # 2



quote:

He, like many of his contemporaries, was of the opinion that women were by nature sexually uninterested. Acton claimed that: "The majority of women (happily for them) are not very much troubled with sexual feeling of any kind."[1] He further stated that "As a general rule, a modest woman seldom desires any sexual gratification for herself. She submits to her husband's embraces, but principally to gratify him; and, were it not for the desire of maternity, would far rather be relieved from his attentions."[2] According to Acton, a small percentage of "normal" women felt sexual desire when they menstruated, but he primarily described sexual desire in women as a symptom of nymphomania.


He was also apparently a leading proponent of the "masturbation is gonna make you go blind" theory.
