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

      That’s Jimmy Olsen’s whole purpose. Even Clark gets to “not my job” this situation.

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

    No you fucking didn’t.

    I knew Superman was a domestic terrorist.

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

        Only because the path to citizenship for earth humans can be as long as 28 years in the united states. How long do you think it takes for a kryptonian?

          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.

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

          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.

    What about if the fire spread to surrounding buildings?

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

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

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

    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.”

      V: … Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots! Well? Cat got your tongue? I thought as much. Very well. So you stand revealed at last, you are no longer my Justice. You are his Justice now, you have bedded another. Well, two can play at that game!

      “Madame Justice”: Sob! Choke! Wh-Who is she, V? What is her name?

      V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a Mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that Justice is meaningless without Freedom. She is honest, she makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So goodbye, dear Lady. I would be saddened by our parting, even now, save that you are no longer the woman that I once loved.

      Just like V was changed from an anarchist in the V for Vendetta movie, Superman also had more radical leftist origins.
