Chapter: Comic
I have a strong memory from my childhood from when the first Superman film came out. There was a magazine or TV guide with a photo of Superman and the name Christopher Reeve. I remember feeling extra special that someone with the same name as me was Superman. I guess in a few years kids named Henry will get to feel the same way.

Depressingly, this makes much more sense than Krypton’s original “Oh crud let’s all run around in circles waving our hands whilst our planet blows up” plan.
I remember as a kid hearing that Christopher Reeve had worked out to build up his muscles so they didn’t have to pad the suit. I took that to mean the actor was as strong as Superman.
True. Best part about that is that it means Superman’s fitness trainer was Darth Vader.
Lucky me, only bad guys seem to have the name Bill or the like when I was a kid. Now I want to take over the world. Though I did laugh when I realized I had the same name as Dr.Horrible and I also wanted to be a mad scientist.
Dr Horrible is here, to make you quake with fear!
I share the same name as Dr. Evil.
This does raise an interesting question as to why they DIDN’T stop the asteroid. I really hope that Earth doesn’t adhere to their strategy in case of a future apocalyptic asteroid.
Krypton’s destruction was most often shown as internal planet instability, like earthquakes, tectonic and core problems, asteroids had nothing to do with it. That’s why they didn’t get rid of an asteroid. I believe the planet collapsed before exploding.
My little cousin’s name is Henry. He’s about a preteen.
Wow… that’s bad in a horribly hilarious kind of way… I love it!
On the anecdote, I have never seen an actress play a superhero who also had my name; Maureen. The closest to super I ever got was the original name of my favorite supervillain; Harleen (Harley Quinn)
*crosses her fingers and hopes*
Pfft….. …ahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
You just made my day! (*and that’s a hard thing to do, trust me*)
I wonder when we’ll get a hero called “Megan”?
Then again, a supervillain would be better, I mean, would you rather save people or blow crud up?
Exactly. (*the correct answer was blow crud up*)
I lol’d hard. Great job
technically, it would do nothing, merely creating multiple asteroids on the same trajectory, but carry on!
