    So he's "official photographer of the mayor by day." So what? He's been freelance for years... decades real time. I can't see this having too much of an impact. Jimmy Olsen, maybe, but DC already went that route back in the '80s. This plot development gets a big "Ehh..." from me.

    It was at a science exhibit he attended as a teenager that he was bitten by a radioactive spider and acquired the creature's strength, agility and weaving ability, says Marvel Comics.

    ....."weaving ability"?

    You think he learned to make that costume in Physics class, maybe?

    Check out the Secret Headquarters (my store) website! It's a pretty lame website, but I did it myself, so tough noogies

    Listen to WOXY.com, it's the future of rock-n-roll!

    What he said. It would be bigger news -- and probably more true-to-life -- if Clark Kent got fired.

    Clark is fired...just goes to the closest coal mine and creates his own retirement account. The Fed should be talking to Superman...in the 40s, I think, a President Superman story had him fill the reserve bank with tons of lost treasure from the bottom of the sea.

    I can't see this being too lasting or impactful.

    As I recall, he did lose his job for a while a few years ago. I saw a story in the entertainment section of a paper about how the new writer was trying to pep up the series.
