Of course not. Restraint and self imposed limits are integral to his character. Alan Moore even had him give up his powers and title as soon as he killed Mr. Mxyzptlk at the end of the Silver Age, because he stopped being Superman as soon as he failed to live up those morals.

And really, how disillusioning would it be that the hero who set the modern standard for being a hero can't live up to his own ethical code when it counts? You can have Batman kill without significantly altering the character, but you can't have Superman kill without losing part of who he is.

Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? is a controversial title that isn't agreed upon as canon, even within DC's staff.

My copy of the book even billed it as non-canon on the cover, but other copies say no such thing.

In any event, that was the Superman of the Silver Age, under the Comics Code Authority, which turned the Joker into a wacky prankster identical to Flash's Trickster.

In the Bronze age he was seen to kill on occasion, and in the Superman Saga with Christopher Reeve he killed several of his enemies. The New 52 continuity has ended the lives of several villains already, despite the continuity being only six years underway.

I dislike the argument that Superman shouldn't kill because it isn't in him.
It's largely baseless.

Inglorious's argument about 'the American Way' is better.

Also
Super man is suppose to be hella American
A single man deciding who should live and die without trial reeks of dictatorship

That's the sentiment that let palps come to power.

Sometimes justice must be decided by the people.
Sometimes, the only solution is obvious.

In that right I think Supes killing Zod in MoS was a move he would make.
He's done it before.

When a villain has nearly ultimate power and is beyond containment or reason, prison is a non-option.
That's why the Phantom Zone exists, but he keeps the projector in his Fortress of Solitude, so it's not always possible to get to it without letting your enemy lay waste.

Plus scenes where he just get pissed the fuck off and tears through someone are dope.
Sure, he's not an inherently dark character, but the magnanimity he's known for is seen to fade when he becomes truly enraged, and that's I side of the character I love seeing.

The same happened to me once upon a time.
I quit coffee altogether for years, and returned to it with a new approach.

I no longer use a coffee maker. Now I use presses.
I only use purified, if possible distilled, water.
I don't use sugar. If I need sweetness I use sweet-n-low, but I seldom do that even.
I don't use milk. Half and Half, or some sort of thick cream is the way to go.
I steep the grinds like looseleaf tea, which adds to the body.
I buy darker roasts, and if I'm in the mood for something lighter, I simply use less or add more cream.
When possible, I cold brew.

Doing all of these things reduces the acidity of the beverage, which will prevent the bad feeling.
People say adding cardamom to your coffee will significantly reduce acidity, but I've never tried it.

so you think it has to do with acidity?

It's either that or a neurological reaction to the caffeine, but I assume you eat chocolate and drink sodas, plus you said frappes don't really set you off.

Am I the only person who is worried by the fact that Kylo Ren looks like a discount Revan?
Anybody think he might ruin Revan's chance at being retconned back into existence?

Batman's character is centered around the No Kill Rule, but somewhere along the way Superman picked it up.

I think he works better as a character where he's driven to win at all costs, and when it becomes clear that an adversary is too dangerous to be left alive, snuffs out their life.

But would this make him too much like Aquaman?

This just in:

Not only does Desty not think Mayweather vs Pacquiao was a bigger fight then this (everybody knows mcgregor is doomed) he also thinks that the snooze fest was INTERESTING.

Wrong. This is the first time that a major boxing name is going to fight a major MMA fighter. You may not like it but its history in the making and will probably influence more fights like this in the future.

They walked in circles afraid to make a move on each other for twelve rounds, and made more than any other event in history, so no matter how you approach this, you're wrong.

Wrong again. How did they walk in circles afraid to hit each other if Mayweather ended up landing WAY more punches than Pacquiao? The strategy in boxing isn't to just stand there and take punches like most casual watchers believe. You gotta move around the ring, tire out your opponent, and strike when they're vulnerable. Mayweather is the best one in the business at doing that and because of that he has victories over guys like De La Hoya, Hatton, Judah, Gatti, Mosley, and Marquez... all legendary boxing names. A lot of people tend to forget that most of Mayweather's victories are from KO. Plus Mayweather is a welterweight and the guys in that weight class can pretty much box forever without getting tired.

They were of course, contractually obligated to trade blows, but that fight was fuckin boring.

Anyway, Boxer vs MMA fighter is the same shit they did with Rocky vs Hulk Hogan.
It just means they've run out of ideas.

Frankly I don't think this fight should happen anymore than the Patriots should play Manchester United.

Like bungie.net or 4chan before it this forum has become a breeding ground for suffering and injustice. It is beyond saving and must be allowed to die.

lmao how were any of yall even slightly fooled by this

Because we all wanted to believe it was true.

No, it isn't.

Pretty sure the biggest match of the century was two years ago, and it was boring as fuck.

Why don't you get out of this thread or ask people who actually know shit about the sports to educate yourself?

and a 21 character maximum should allow full use of hex and rgba and minimize exploitability.

With the addition of more custom options to Stylish, Technicolor is more versatile than ever.



You will no longer have to make any alterations to code to get a custom background, just select the 'Custom' option and either upload or paste a link to your image.
