chest...why does he duck when a gun is thrown at him?


The shooter sneezed on the gun before he threw it, and Superman doesn't want to get his germs.




that actually almost sort of makes sense....happy


See page 18 of Superman #261 -- "While I myself, being Kryptonian, am immune to these germs, it's possible I could end up carrying them around and passing them on to Lois or Jimmy!"




Ok, Lex, I just got out of the vault where the issues are kept. I found #261 and went to page 18 and you are absolutely right..there is however a clause in the 5th paragraph that states Kryptonian's are NOT immune to the
swine flu...be careful out there.flowerforyou


They revealed in issue #289 that Brainiac had altered the swine flu virus by adding just the tiniest smidgen of Orange Kryptonite to it, thereby giving Kal-El a runny nose.



But you see Jor-El's genes made Kal-El the very hero of our day immune to anything except for pure Kryptonite,Even a smidgen of Orange.So Kal-El needs lay off the nose pickin' for a few days and get a box of tissues.


Technically, he's also susceptible to magic (the whole point of Mr. Mxyzptlk) and he loses his powers under a red sun.




Jor-El and his genius staff on Krypton have the technology to produce, and have already done so, a sunscreen that even Mr. Mxyzptlk magical evil ways can not penetrate, even while he uses his powers to increase the intensity of the sun. As you know that is also an essential ingredient in Kal-El's manly suit. I found this information in volume # 212 chapter 3.


Yeah, but when John Byrne did the post-Crisis revamp in 1986, he changed all of that stuff.




slaphead Well smack my azz and call me fanny... I didn't know that..

how absolutely, ridiculously irresponsibly clumsy of me. Does Kal_El

know of such changes?


I hope so, seeing as how Clark's parents were dead pre-1986, and Byrne brought them back!

The gun has more mass, and would throw him off-balance.
