Because it's a facet of Superman that bears being brought to people's attention. Always. And context be damned, of course. Consider this an open forum to share your favorite moments of superdickery in all its glory. Here, I'll start:

	Proper babysitting, Superboy style.
	Because Superman don't need no woman in his life.
	Clark learned how to deal with nagging from a young age, apparently. Or, rather, how not to deal with it...
	All that was missing was Superman cracking open a beer and enjoying the Lois & Lana Show. You just know he's smiling there in the background; that's how much of a dick he is.
	And, just in case you were wondering, yes, the Superman editorial at the time were a bunch of dicks, too.

A couple more.

	Superman encouraging child abuse. Directed at a girl with a speech impediment, to boot.
	Superman being condescending and jingoistic in the eternal football/soccer debate.
	Spoon-feeding a girl in front of her boss when she has been turned into a baby and making cracks at her expense? That's nothing. Not when compared to...
	...bottle-feeding a girl in front of her bitter rival when she has been turned into a baby. Now that's superdickery of the highest degree.

The Jimmy Olsen covers were great

@saintwildcard: That they were. Thanks for sharing. My favorite is the one with Jimmy collecting supertears, even if that one qualified as jimmydickery. Know the one I'm talking about?

Some more random bits of superdickery, this time with the topic of dating and courtship:

	Not only doesn't Superman care how long it took you to doll yourself up, he will actually derive great enjoyment from messing up all your hard work. Man, what a dick.
	And don't you get any romantic ideas around Superman. He won't have any of it, and he'll shut you down so hard and fast, the shockwave will snap you right out of such delusions.
	Also, if you fancy your chances with the Man of Steel, you better bring your A-game or prim yourself up nice and proper, because the Man of Steel has standards. Uggos and mingers needn't apply.
	That being said, there is such a thing as trying too hard, and Superman will let you know it in no uncertain terms.

A couple more:

	Superman gets around, as we know. He sees all manner of weird stuff, and has experienced things most of us could scarcely conceive of. But that doesn't mean he will put up with whatever strange experiences his friends go through, no siree.
	Everybody likes a little bit of affection, right? Not Superman. Guy's all business. Pretty girls acting a little too affectionately towards him will absolutely get told off.
	Little could the Prankster have known how grateful he should be for this particular rule of Superman. Had he waited until 2013, he might have sorely regretted cracking jokes at the Man of Steel's expense.
	As Superboy, not only did he have his maritime biology all mixed up, he also showed no compunctions or remorse in sentencing a poor, peaceful mammal to death, and actually propped it up as a target for it to be harpooned to death. Man, what a dick.

the one where he called jimmy an idiot is priceless.LOL

@christianrapper: It sure is. It just comes so violently out of the blue, you can't help but be in awe at the sheer level of superdickery.

Some more. Today's topic: bullying.

	Fat-shaming, Superboy style. He really pulled out all the stops to make overweight teens feel self-conscious about their weight gain, and having some fun at their expense, to boot.
	Superman is ever considerate of other people's personal space and private property. And always makes sure not to overstay his welcome.
	He's also extremely considerate of women's self-image issues, and understands that we all have crises of confidence on occasion.
	Superman would never think of throwing his weight around, or physically imposing his will upon others and threatening violent retaliation against those who don't comply. Certainly not while pulling a Kanye, I'm sure.

Heheheheh.

Beata

Hah. This thread was a great idea! I really enjoy the context-less SA superdickery covers. Every other issue was trying to get you to think that superman had somehow turned overnight, only to explain that he was totally justified inside.

Silver-Age clickbait at its finest.

Heh. Good one. That about encompasses it in concise, elegant fashion. Thanks for sharing those.

Some more, this time without any particular theme:

	Superman seems to be enjoying Lois being smacked around by Diana a little bit too much. I mean, look at that lecherous smile. You know he's getting off at the catfight.
	Superman not caring the least about the lives of random mooks chasing his car. Do not try any shenanigans with Superman behind the wheel. You do not want to experience super-road rage first hand.
	As Superboy, he clearly had the best health interests of the general populace in mind. And, unless my memory fails me, he actually helps people get fat twice.
	Not superdickery, but due credit to SaintWildcard for reminding me of what is probably the creepiest, most disturbing Jimmy Olsen cover ever.

Everybody knows Batman is Superman's best friend. What they might not know is that Superman can be the biggest dick to his best friends:

	Sure, we've all heard the spiel. Batman gets top billing over everybody else, everyone has to be downplayed so Batgod gets to shine, etc. But damn, Supes, you could take it on the chin without being such a dick about it...
	...but no. Superman went and accused his friend of witchcraft and got him sentenced to die on the stake. What a dick move. Still, the best part about this whole affair is the girl's reaction and name-calling. Absolutely priceless.
	Superman also shows remarkable levels of tolerance for opinions that differ from his own. Especially when they come from the mouths of his best, most trusted friends.
	On that note, he can also be very understanding of his companions' failings, and, as an orphan, clearly has no problems acknowledging that family should come first. Right...?
	Ah, words are unneeded. The dickery speaks for itself here.

"Survival of the fittiest - and i'll be the judge of that!"

The first superman comic had him attack a lobbyist for doing his job, who ended up dying. What was that guy trying to influence the politics toward? Allying themselves with these pesky europeans! You know... in WWII.

So yeah Superman murdered a guy for trying to stop Hitler.

@stahlflamme: Haha, good one. Small wonder he felt compelled to make up for his boo-boo in Look magazine a couple of years later.

A couple more:

	Man, Superman really has to rub it in, doesn't he...?
	Yes. Yes, he does.
	To be fair, Lois was being a bit of a contrarian, but damn, Supes. Harsh, much? The girl thought she had lost her sister not that long ago.
	Oh, right. The rubbing it in bit. I had almost forgotten.

man, I need to find some scans to post. this thread is too funny to die.

Superman's Girlfriend, Lois Lane, has numerous instances. Although to be honest, Lois was often being annoying too, so frankly, he also kind of needed to drive the point home to her too.

Superman keeping photos of Lana Lang in a safe whilst married to Lois Lane.

Superman leaving Firestorm to fight his first supervillain all by himself

And Superman letting an angel know what he thinks of divine intervention

Superman makes Lois Lane be stuck in an indestructible car for the honeymoon. After all, if the world knows that he is Superman with Lois as his wife, he might as well do something to keep Lois Lane safe from powerful supervillains...

this is by far the best thread on all of comicvine

Well, Superman, it's now a pity that you couldn't have thought about the reality of Woman of Kleenex before Larry Niven did...
