What up with you Superman?

I understand that Superman is all about his moral code, but in Time Masters #2, it seemed to me like he was just plain being stubborn. In Time Masters #1 Superman gets a little annoyed with Rip Hunter when Rip tells Superman not to interfere with some dying men they come across. Understandable, Superman wants to help these men because they're hurting and he can save them, but it is also understandable that they're in the past, and saving those men could potentially alter the time line in ways that no one can fathom. In the end, Superman listens to reason and lets it go.
 
In issue #2, Rip is separated from the team, leaving Superman, Green Lantern, and Booster Gold pretty much to their own devices. So what's the first thing they should see? A battle between humans and some other beings. Superman's preferred course of action? Ignore anything and everything that Rip said to do and get involved in this, like right now! Seriously Superman, I get that you're trying to help, but you didn't even take a moment to think that you've no idea what this fight is over, who the bad guy and the good guy are, and what's worse, what could possibly happen if you got involved in an event that's not happening in your own time plane?!
 
Also, what up with Green Lantern? In the first issue he's quick to agree with Rip about messing with the past, but in this issue he throws caution to the wind and goes right after Superman like he doesn't even care. I like Superman, and I'm a big GL fan, I just thought it was kind of funny how despite being aware that their actions can have dire consequences on the space time continuum, they just jump headfirst into the action like they're playing on their own back yard.

Eye of the Tiger

I love a good fight. I love a good chase. I love chasing something I want to and then fighting hard to obtain it. I find that my thought process is very "Action-Oriented". It's the second week of school and my work is already cut out for me. It's one thing to think in an Action-Oriented manner (although every time I examine my thought process I find that it actually reads more like war plans), but I also happen to be very avaricious in my endeavors that I often time bite off more than I can chew. Not to be overcome by something as mundane as chewing (I've faced mightier tasks and come out unscathed!), I will more than likely tackle the work load without so much as a wince. 
 
I was talking to my room mate about my current work load which includes classwork, club work, and even my own independent comic (which i intend to get the first chapter posted online by mid semester even if it kills me!!!) and he made the observation that a lot of the time it seems to him like I enjoy the torture of being over burdened. I took to thinking about that while I took to the gym before heading out to the Hapkido club at my school (I find I do my best thinking while metaphorically kicking my own ass and physically attempting to kick someone else's :D), and I found it hard to argue with him. 
 
I guess to describe myself by using character reference, I'm a lot like Goku from either Dragonball or DBZ. I don't think challenges are so much frightening as they are exciting. I like, nay, LOVE, a good challenge. There's really no better feeling than seeing all your hard work come together. that being said, I'm looking forward to an awesome semester, and more importantly, to what will hopefully be a long, well received run of my web-comic. With that said, I sign off with my battle cry
