@carlosgauche Now don't you go making excuses for Kal-El lol. In any case I guess I can accept that but if back in 1932-1940 they had already covered his powers & weaknesses then I am not gonna cut him any slack @ all!

@Dragonology04 He was not so powerful back then.

@Marvcohen No, it means that Metropolis didn't exist at that time. Superman used to live in NYC.
