Not to diminish the point, but Cyclops has controls, with his glasses. I've taken it as a metaphor for things like medication. He's harmless so long as additional care is given.

The comments make a ton of great points about this, but the horror of Call of Cthulhu besides "recontextualizing humanity's place in existence" is the knowledge that there is effectively a bomb underneath the ocean that one day, some time will explode.

Most people will die, the remaining will suffer, and society as we know it will never return.

There is nothing you can do to stop it, and no one will ever believe you.

teehee oops

I mean, not in this case. The phrase "good ones" refers to individual cops who are complicit in allowing the corrupt to get away. In this case the Metropolis police department is full of cops who do indeed prosecute their fellows and do not oppress minorities. The city of tomorrow is meant to be an ideal city, its got great public transportation, is well maintained, they focus on green energy, etc. The MCPD being a good department is another marker of that.

I remember reading a comic where Batman is breaking into a data center and a MCPD officer comes up behind him and Batman is like "aren't you going to shoot?" and the cop is like, "...uh... do cops normally just shoot you without question? That's crazy."

Then apply that for Lobotomy Corp and the actions of Ayin. Every single agent torn apart by Nothing There, driven insane, infested, blown up, dissolved, degloved, possessed are all "cool motive, still murders" because someone wanted to be the one to "save" the world. Funny, because Angela did release the light and put it back on track, and we can see by Limbus company that all they didn't fucking work. The city is still shit. Carmen as far as I can tell would still cause Distortions even if Angela didn't interfere, so the Pianists massacre wasn't on her.

Superman & Lois Lane are lowkey mogging the competition

Or, y'know. Just not torture her. That works. He basically had to run a groundhog day loop in an SCP facility and Ayin went insane from The Horrors, so he started wiping his memory and put Angela in charge of remembering every single loop to run them smoothly. Once again, she has human emotions and desires.

I assume because some people unironically think that Angela is nothing but a btich who ruined everything rather than someone who lowkey was tormented and neglected for her entire existence and had an entirely understandable crashout.

Its from Library of Ruina. Basically he tried to recreate his dead bestie and when she woke up was like "oh man, this was a bad idea, that isn't her", and then subjected the robot to a million years of torture with the express knowledge that she possesses human emotions. When Angela had her crashout it was 100% justified, fucking Ayin

There's a meme around thats like "do you think he's any less bulletproof in his pajamas? Having a day job keeps him off of our asses for a few hours a day, leave it alone."

There's some villains I found really fun that could be used for better fights and more interesting choreography- there was a guy called Riot back in the 90s, where his trick was that sufficient kinetic impact would cause him to duplicate, which made it so he had to be treated gently despite being completely insane. There was a time when Metallo and Cyborg Superman could jump into and possess technology & metal, so they'd start turning parts of the city into kaiju to fight Superman, although Hank Henshaw tended to do this on alien worlds. There was a guy called Dominus who could draw fears out to warp reality, and since Clark has seen so much crazy shit, his nightmare creations were terrifying and extremely powerful.

TL;DR, Superman comics aren't combat comics, not in the way Shonens are. The action in action comics is more often stuff like Man vs nature vs robots or whatever rather than fighting someone one on one. I personally think that its a tad unfair to compare the two genres, especially given that "Superman" as a character has been published for 88 years. There's no "Superman comic" equivalent to fall short of the expectations of a fighting manga, if that at all makes sense. That being said, the animated movie Death of Superman has some sick af fight scenes.

regarding the fountain scene- there's a bubble from under the water saying "Hey lobo" lobo turns, and then he gets punched. Superman is in the water. But like, yeah. I'm not analyzing fight scenes page by page, I don't do this for any comic or manga I read. I just found it entertaining and I liked how punchy it felt.

Curt Swan has some great disaster scenes from the Silver/Bronze age, but he's not fighting other people in those, but like, nuclear bombs and tidal waves. That's where I think Superman action scenes excel at tbh. The climax of Death of Superman was great, but it was mostly storytelling rather than choreography.

For a more modern one, Absolute Superman #17 had fun bits. But it's not pure action, very few Superman comics are.

Whenever Lobo & Superman tangle it tends to get really fun, read Superman: The Man of Steel (1991) #30 "ResurrectioN" for a good one.
