Clark Kent Beyond?

[Batmex]

Ok, Because of Supes DNA he ages much more slowly than an average human being.

Do you guys think he still has his secret identity?

I mean Lois, Jimmy, and his boss Perry could have noticed his slow aging before they died(maybe Jimmy would still around)

Ant theories?

best bet is that superman staged a "death" of clark kent after lois and company died

any one of his shapeshifting friends could have helped out

as for supermans aging, hasnt it been rather hinted at that he might very well live forever? in one ish of a superman comic where he was on trial before highfather, ganthet, SHAZAM, and the Phantom Stranger, he mentions something about why he "hasn't joined them"

this leads me to belive that at some point kal will become tired of regular existence and perhaps join them as a god-like being

That seems to be the storyline they follow in DC One Million, with Superman Prime ( albeit he doesn't join the Quintessence, but he does retreat from the world of mortals ). However, it seems that he'll abandon his secret identity rather than killing Clark off ( didn't Supes reveal his identity in the comics?? ). Of course, in DC One Million, Supes spends most of those millenia away from Earth seeking a way to bring Lois back from the dead. Funny thing is, he eventually suceeded.

yeah i remember that

also that trial i mentioned where superman talked about joining the quintesence was a real recent issue-- part of the aftermath of Our Worlds At War

i just thought it was such an interesting notion-- superman is powerful but i never thought he would quite reach their level-- but appearantly he KNOWS he has/can and could join them if he chose but he continues to limit himself-- quite cool and once again proving why hes my favorite hero

It seems to me that lately (in the comics)
he's losing ground with the Clark Kent part of himself, and the more that happens the more messed up he acts as Superman.
A few issues back he found some dirt on Lexcorp and instead of reporting on it as Clark, or thinking of a way to stop things and make Luthor responsible for his dealings as Superman, he just goes out and trashes the place. Destroys all the evidence, goes completely nuts. I was shocked- I've rarely seen Superman written so....dumb.
I was reading it and thinking...Hulk Smash? What the heck?!

Cassandra, I remember that issue too, and it also left a bad taste in my mouth. Do you remember which title it was in? Wasn't it Man Of Steel? I can't stand that book. Superman, Action, and Adventures are all always so great, but Man Of Steel is almost always poorly written and the stories are always just so weird.

Yeah, you're right, it was Man of Steel #120. I had to look to find it, because I read it in the car, and I was so disgusted I tossed it in the back seat with my empty coke can. Did you catch the part with him thinking in english but writing it out in Kryptonian? Creepy.
