I mean, this is the famous scene where Jor-El talks to the Science Council. By the way, this is from Action Comics #500 (1979) the most recent depiction of the pre-Crisis event that I could find online. This is the same scene from Super-Friends, 1973! Women are present. So, a Saturday Morning Cartoon five year older managed to be more inclusive and progressive than the comics. So it isn't like it "was a different time".

Lesbian man-haters had taken over Saturday morning TV!

I'm sorry to have to post this image in Italian, but I can't find the original. Translation Lois: "Bourguignon beef? Uhhmm..." CK: "I need to get rid of Lois. My heat vision on the front wheel of that cab will cause a... (next panel) blowout!" I think these two panels perfectly sum up the morality and ethos of Superman Pre-Crisis. "It doesn't matter what damage or how much pain I cause for the meanest of reasons: I'm Superman and what I do is by definition right." This version of the character is closer to the ideal of the Nietzschean Übermensch than one would like to believe...

I'm pretty sure Juggernaut has fought the Thing. Of course, the one I always wanted to see was Rogue vs Absorbing Man. Would them basically having the same power cancel each other out?

Sometimes I wonder if the writers ever realized they went to far with the spineless Klutz Clark thing. While it may have had its appeal during the Golden Age, it had become utterly exaggerated and ridiculous during the relatively more realistic Silver Age. A classic example. If I saw that things like this were happening to a colleague of mine all the time (tripping over a cable that has been there for THREE YEARS!?!?) I wouldn't think "What a bumbling guy!". I would worry about him and think he has some neurological problem. Because it's NOT normal to stumble all over the place every moment. And by the way, I absolutely call BS about his justification of why he pretended to trip over the cable. What would have happened if he didn't? "Clark, you can walk normally like most people have learned since the age of 4! This means that you are ... SUPERMAN!!!". No. The truth is, he's an a$$hole who likes to torture people who love him. I don't know how many stories there are where Lois, Lana, or Jimmy are worried about Clark and he laughs under his breath because he's making fun of them all the time.
