It'd probably spoil the cover for me to know the contents of the issue itself. It is often the case with these out-there Silver Age covers.

It's a tiny Superman that he shoots out of his hand that has his powers but when it happens Superman no longer has powers.

While he did get jealous, he didn't have the tiny Superman killed. Instead it sacrificed itself to save him by riding a tiny kryptonite meteor into space.

Because it's that good, and proves that it's possible to live up to a Silver Age DC cover.

Would you be my new best friends?

I think Grant Morrison pointed to that particular story as proof that his reputation for doing "weird stuff" is completely unfounded, because in his wildest dreams or on his most spectacular drugs he never would have thought up Superman being able to produce tiny Supermen who are better at his job than he is, causing him to suffer a nervous breakdown.

Because someone specifically said they didn't want to be spoiled, and it's not common knowledge.

The secret is that Superman discovered all he had to do was visualise what he wanted to happen, and then the universe would simply make it happen for him.

In the center behind Beast.


e: actually, I haven't followed Deadpool in years, but shouldn't his older established cast (Bob, Agent X and his crew, etc) be there somewhere? Can't find them for the life of me.

Even if there wasn't an awful story where this actually happened, it doesn't take but 30 seconds to become an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church.

They made him a priest so they could eventually make him the pope and then cause his normal-person-illusion-thingy fail in front of everyone, which along with communion wafers rigged to disintegrate people they hoped would cause people to believe the rapture had begun.

The rapture not being apart of Catholic belief was apparently not an issue.

^:argh:

A bunch of evil dudes tried to get him elected as pope so they could turn off his image inducer while he was popeing and kick start the rapture or someshit.

It also involved exploding communion wafers.

VV There was another story where his whole priest training g and ordination was a hypnotic false memory.

He descovers it when he is sat at a table and just let's everyone know "Well, I've given up being a priest and renounced the whole thing." - Casual as poo poo - and everyone else is shocked that he was a priest in the first place.

I seem to recall that it was all written by the same idiot who did his "Draco" storyline that everyone hates and ignores.

I thought he was never actually ordained in that story, or has since left the priesthood. But he could have just gotten Internet ordained so he could perform weddings.
