"I liked when Clark Kent got in that really tight Superman suit."

[Max Solis · Rating 5 out of 5]

El joven Clark Kent participa en un partido de fútbol con Pete Ross y otros adolescentes. Sin embargo, sus poderes hacen que Pete Ross se rompa el brazo y destruya el balón. Lleno de culpa, Clark regresa a casa con su granjero. Al día siguiente en la escuela, cuando Pete le pide a Clark que le firme el yeso, los poderes de Clark le permiten ver la fractura en el brazo de Pete y huye. Lana Lang, la mejor amiga de Clark, lo sigue mientras hablan del día en que descubrieron el poder de Clark cuando la salvó de las cuchillas de una cosechadora. Cuando Clark responde que tiene miedo de tocar a la gente, Lana lo besa. Sin embargo, esto hace que la visión de calor de Clark se active y queme accidentalmente el gimnasio. Clark se pregunta qué le pasa.

De buenas a primeras podría describirse como una mezcla entre American Alien y The Man of Steel de John Byrne. Asienta la historia en la cuestión humana, pero también recupera mucho del origen tradicional de Superman, incluyendo a la Legión de Superhéroes y a su fase como Superboy.

Really cute. Shows the love that Clark and his parents have for each other. Also I didn’t know this is where he got his suit from.
