A Superman without a Clark.

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

I've been inspired by Domino Blue's post below so I'll be taking a rare dip into the DC pool.

Back in 2004 DC had a mini-series were Wildstorm hero and Superman analogue Mr. Majestic landed in the main DCverse.

Now, Mr. M is quite different then Clark and it's been rubbing this Earth the wrong way.

Stop me if you've heard this one before. Two superheroes walk into a diner...

Enjoy!



Mr. Majestic walks into a diner and the place clears out. He orders all of the breakfast specials and since he doesn't have any local currency, crashes a pencil into diamonds.

Superman joins him.

















I thought that was amusing and both men brought up good points. The whole mini is pretty good.

Request! If anyone knows what issues and series show Mr. Majestic in Metropolis interacting with Lois and the bunch, I'd love to know. Thanks!

I'd love to just have stories of Superman walking into a diner.

Superman saying "we're cool" is so awesome I don't even have words for it.
P.S. How is Kyle still in costume if Mr. Majestic took his ring?

[biod]

A superman, a rabbi, and a duck walk into a bar...

[stubbleupdate]

Superman should be able to guzzle even the hottest coffee

[proteus_lives]

Superman doesn't slurp his coffee.

Ma Kent taught him better.

[proteus_lives]

Residual charge?

[korilian]

Hahaha! That is priceless.

[perletwo]

... is he dumping salt into his coffee?

[proteus_lives]

I actually think that's a little thing of creamer

or...

HE HAS NEEDS. ALIEN NEEDS.

[mola_ram]

I absolutely positively adore how Majestros sticks out his pinky whenever he drinks his coffee. =)

[proteus_lives]

Well, he is an aristocrat. ;)

[celestialchild]

This is excellence. Why can't we have more of this?

[celestialchild]

Agreed. It's a true expression of character through art.

Loved that line in particular, yes.

The "Giving GL his ring back" comes across as just more... dickish. Treating an established hero like a child to belittle him.

I'd like to think Superman would have given the ring back to Kyle in a LESS public place, to spare a respected colleague the embarassment.

[bariman]

I think he physically changes his clothing into his costume.

What I liked about this was how non-judgmental it was.

Every other time you see heroes of different worlds / mindsets meet up, there's always that slightly disapproving "my-way-or-the-high-way" attitude -- even JLA / Avengers had Superman and Captain America sniping at each other all the time. Here, on both sides it seems to be more an 'agree-to-disagree' thing. Nice.

I hate hate HATE how this artist does noses, though.

[feyandstrange]

Motto! I was just thinking how awesome it is that the body language here is so well-depicted that you can really tell some differences about these characters, despite their obvious similarities.

[icon_uk]

IIRC Cap and Superman sniping was explained as being nothing to do with each other, and everything to do with the effects of something akin to "Universe lag" (like jet lag but with more dimensions)

[golden_orange]

True, I know there was a reason for it -- it's just nice to see that it doesn't always have to be the default setting.

[hybrid2]

The Majestic/lois thing hapenned in 2 issues of Superman.I think.
Or action comic.

[tacitoz]

Same here. Big muscular man drinking with the grace of a queen. Perfect <3

[silverzeo]

Like Goku and Vegeta...

[joasakura]

yeah, that had a little bit of a "here, I got your toy back from the bully"

:T

I'd never seen this before..

[steverodgers5]

What a beautiful scene! It really brings home how decent a hero Supes really is. I love that there was no fisticuffs, and that Supes was really trying to get his point across without being arrogant about it.

Thanks for posting this. I'm gonna have to track down these issues..

Wasn't it just earlier in this one? I don't remember too much interaction, but it had some issues before Superman showed up.
