We need a Superman movie based on the football story from Action Comics #4, except without the evil girlfriend and Superman engaging in casual kidnapping. Just two hours of Clark tripping up a college football game-fixing scandal for the sheer joy of counterbullying bullies.--G.

>counterbullying bullies. One of my favorite concepts for a superman story (I don't think anyone ever did it) is some three letter agency or another hiring an assassin to murder Clark Kent. Not because they find out he's superman, but because he's Clark Kent, investigative reporter, and has exposed some nefarious scheme or another. However, he's impossible to kill, but can't just like, take a bullet to the head, that'd ruin his cover, so he has to improvise, which just infuriates everyone involved. Hilarity ensues.

Something similar happened in Superman #203, Superman: American Alien #3, and
"The Late Mr. Kent," an episode of S:TAS.

>#3, and
>"The Late Mr. Kent," an episode of S:TAS. A sort of converse to the idea also turns up in Superman: Secret Identity, a mini-series set in a world where Superman comics exist, and a teenage boy named Clark Kent (who has never been allowed to live that down by his schoolmates) discovers one day that he has superpowers just like the comic book character's. Later on, in his adult life, agents of The Government try to take him out, because of course that's what The Government does to things it doesn't understand. They fail, but keep chasing him for a while, and he finally ends up striking a deal where he'll do secret missions for them if they'll quit fucking around with his life. I haven't thought about that series in years. Should dig out my TPB and re-read it. --G.
