And that's probably one of the huge barriers I face with Superman, it's all so... irritatingly patriotic. "Rar Rar America and the American way whoo.". Yawn. Plus unlike, say, Captain America, he's simply not interesting enough to sustain interest in him as a character (admittedly, I started with Cap with Brubaker and have only read some of Waids through Unlimited prior to that, so that's a huge standard). There are literally only two Superman stories I like or would ever own. All-Star and Secret Identity.
Okay.. the Cyborg Superman has all the powers of Superman BUT.. we're gonna have him ride a motorcycle. I'd love to know what the writer on this was thinking during that page.
I figured that DC editorial was so obsessed with the idea of "CLARK WILL BE THE ONLY KRYPTONIAN" that Jurgens was told to make Henshaw just the CYBORG.
