[QUOTE="Archetype, post: 2948684, member: 40688"] Heh. Yes, sounds pretty hokey that way. I wish I still had that comic, so I could confirm my memories. Anyway it's a [i]comic-book logic[/i] explaination after all, but still better than "oh, you never really look twice at the people you see everyday" rationale, don't you think? It does however cover a lot of the objections raised here about many plot holes in [i]Superman Returns.[/i] Why did no one question how coincidental it was that Clark Kent made a reappearance the exact time that Superman did? Because [i] he didn't want them to make that connection[/i], so his "defensive aura" included that blank-out into the tailored emanation he projects around himself. [i]"Hey, there's Clark. Wait a minute. Wasn't he gone for five...{ZAP}...Boy I'm hungry, we having sushi for lunch or what?"[/i] It also makes that embarrasingly written scene where Lois and her default boyfriend are comparing Superman's vital stats to Clark's actually work. As they start to make a connection, he looks up at them, adjusts his glasses [i](reinforcing the hypnotic command to make "no connections")[/i] and all of a sudden they are both...Nah! Fagettabowdit. Now I'm not saying that Superman should have conscious control of this kind of "psychic inflluence," but merely that it is his own personal manifestation of his "Kryptonian Aura" while on Earth. I'm sure General Zod would project an overwhelming aura of fear and superiority, since his base desires are to be worshipped and obeyed. Superman just wants to be left alone enough to have some downtime interactions with the mortals he is spending so much effort on protecting and serving. [/QUOTE]
