Look! In the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane! No! It’s Superman fucking his cousin!
Really though she probably is the only one who can take his load without it blowing out the top of her skull.
Imma just drop this here
WTF
Ejaculation of semen is entirely involuntary in the human male, and in all other forms of terrestrial life. It would be unreasonable to assume otherwise for a kryptonian
Why exactly would the author jump to this conclusion? First it’s noted that Superman has precise muscle control. He can and has altered his voice using such a technique. Second he says it right there, he’s not terrestrial. Why would he have the same involuntary spasms from orgasm as an earthling? Even if he didn’t have his super muscular control there’s no cannon on how goofy a face kryptonians make when they nut.
It goes on to say the sperm cells would be super powered, but they probably need a steady dose of yellow sunlight before they’re ripping holes in ovaries.
This isn’t even getting into the theory that Superman isn’t super strong, he’s just a very powerful short range telekinetic psychic. Save that one for another time.
My friend, that eassy was written in 1969.
Much of what your sighting wasn’t cannon yet, and given the internet didn’t exist, nor did the kind of nerd culture we have today, it’s entirely reasonable for a writer at the time to not be expected to have encyclopedic knowledge of Superman canon. Insofar as there even was true canon given it was the twilight of the Silver Age, when “bonkers” was the name of the game.
Moreover, that eassy is pretty famous for being such a candid, deep dive into such a silly topic but bringing up something most people at the time hadn’t considered. This was 1969, published in a mens magazine, by a sci-fi writer, that basically took on meme status. It’s pretty obviously not meant to be taken seriously.
Overly serious people on the internet are unable to contextualize a piece of speculative literature given the time and place in which it was written? On my Lemmy instance? Never…
I know but I wouldn’t be an anonymous nerd if I didn’t respond to it in fashion. 😃
1969
Super nice.
Sighting?
…do i click?
Yes
I don’t know what I expected
It’s no explicit images, just some sort of Superman is Single manifesto lol.
That’s enough internet for tonight
Wonder woman could handle it.
The batmobile too.
LL did. She and Superman have had kids over the years.
The whole Injustice timeline is based on Superman being tricked into killing Louis and their unborn child.
LL = Lex Luther and you can’t tell me otherwise
Lex wishes
Genetically, Kon-El is Superman and Luthor’s kid.
No, it’s clearly Lana Lang. Wait a minute…
Lori Lemaris. Superman got himself some tail.
ight I’m out
Clark was raised on a farm. It still checks out.
I mean, she’s the only one who could handle his ballistic sperm, no? 🤔
Counterpoint: Wonder Woman.
I see someone else is a Larry Niven fan.

Fun fact: Both Einstein and Darwin married their first cousins.
Darwin should have known better.
To his defense, the theory about genetics weren’t discovered yet during his lifetime.
Also to his defense his cousin was hot.
For the lazy yet curious.
Though I think it was already known that the union between close relatives has the tendency to create sickly offspring.
Close relatives, yes, but not so much with cousins. And it wasn’t until Darwin that they truly started to grasp what was going on.
It’s easy to spot the recurring issue of diseased/sickly/malformed offspring with incest between siblings, or between parents and children, because the rate of birth defects is much higher. Fourfold, in fact.
Cousins didn’t produce them nearly as much, so it wasn’t an obvious enough trend. It’s perfectly possible for first cousins to have healthy offspring more than half the time. In fact some studies have found the risk of genetic defeats is not much higher than a regular couple where the women is over the age of 40. Which is to say, it’s low, but not low enough to ignore. There’s also a lot of other factors involved especially when it comes to closed ethnic groups that tend to only reproduce amongst themselves.

Actually, they kind of were. By him.
He’s the one that put forth the theories about the benefits of crossbreeding and the risks of inbreeding. He studied it in plants and wrote several books on it.
And yes, when his first daughter died at 10, the first of 3 that would die young, he worried a great deal it was because of his marriage to his cousin. He didn’t have the facts or the data to prove it, but he had a very good inkling as to why 3 of his 10 kids died young and some of the ones that lived were infertile.
I wonder if this impacted his view on eugenics. Probably not though.
He was married and having kids before his theories had fully taken shape.
But he did know, or at least suspected, he’d made a mistake after the death of his first daughter. But he also had healthy children too, so he couldn’t say anything unequivocally.
He ended up being a case study for his own theory, and he was well aware of it.
If Kal-El landed in Alabama instead of Kansas.
yeah, but cousins by marriage… not blood. its cool.
Oh no step cousin I’m trapped in this kryptonite washing machine.
Set your phantom zone to heavy load and extra rinse.
Am I misreading your comment? What’s cousin by marriage? Jor-el (Superman’s dad) and Zor-el(supergirl’s dad) are brothers.
i was not familiar with their actual lineage, but its plausible that if supergirls ‘dad’ had married a single mom (supergirls mom), but wasnt responsible for that kids conception they wouldnt technically share dna.
they would be cousins by [a] marriage only
i need this to be ok. please
My wife and I go for Halloween as Luke and Leia before they knew they were siblings.
We went as a priest and a nun one year. Figure that one out, armchair Freuds.
Haha, so you just act extra incredulous any time someone points it out?
Nah, Supergirl is a protoplasmic matrix from a pocket universe.
I think pot should be legal, I do. I also think if your cousin is super-hot, you should be able to fuck one time. - Dave Attell
Yes, but so are they.
Gotta keep that bloodline pure. European royalty already tried this for generations and it all worked out fine.
Roll tide
I know comics and even today I will fuck tomorrow yay!
Is she canonically his first cousin?
Genetically I think.
Next year one of them should dress up as an evil Kryptonian like Zod or maybe a duo of Non and Ursa
