What is the least intelligent, pointless action committed by Superman in canon?

Any number of Silver-Age shenanigans could qualify.

Silver age superman = PIS

Be his new 52 self.

@suemorphplus209: Make him actually be married instead of single for 15 years then DC had to write off his wife and Lana as being complete a-holes to him and not explore other relationships.

Silver Age, plenty of it. Although a lot of the Silver Age was parody and pretty funny too.

Walk across America. Just plain stupid and PIS for the character.

His adventures with jimmy Olsen showed his douche side of him

@butterz115: Same with Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane. What's funny is how all those years ago, they foretold what would happen today!

I don't know....pick a random issue of Byrne's Superman, you are bound to find a solid contender.

@squalleon: Him doing a porno with Big Barda...

@diehard200904: Still not worse than getting married, IMHO.

@diehard200904: I think the stupid thing about that is the fact that he hasnt made one again.....i mean hes superman for flip sake.

@diehard200904: did they do it?

@redatom1234: But then it would be Superman and Wonder Woman doing it, and the Clois fans would all go into an uproar.

@suemorphplus209: It's a little late for that considering that Superman and Wonder Woman have already had a sensual scene in the DCYou, plus, it's not even that special considering that Superman and Wonder Woman are strippers. Okay, if you are wondering how I know this, Superman frequently took his clothes off to reveal his Superman suit underneath, and Wonder Woman used to spin around and make her clothes disappear to reveal her onsie. Then in the new 52, she usually dropped off her trench coat to reveal the costume underneath. I think that if they want to make Superman do some kind of porno, have it be with Lori the mermaid, which is wierd because pre flashpoint Superman never figured out how to make it work.

@blackdog2009: They got prevented from doing it full on by the interference of Mr. Miracle, but Big Barda had a prior video of her stripping for all the galaxy to see, and in all honesty, even though unfinished, there's probably at least a partial of Superman and Big Barda out there, assuming that Darkseid's henchman sleaze, recorded it in digital HD, from Apokolips tech, no less.

@diehard200904: Well, superheroes don't do their stripping in plain sight, but a pretty funny post nonetheless!

@suemorphplus209: Looool then make superman a pornstar, it'll add some character to him that people would hate themselves for being interested in and he'd finally start banging chicks he should have already banged in the silver age

Although clois would still be a problem.....

Probably him attacking and nearly killing Batman during the first arch of New 52 Justice League. Seriously, New 52 Superman was such a dick in that story.

@william300: I know right? "I don't like being attacked!" oh really why not? It's not like you're invulnerable or anything! Although in fairness Hal started UT and we know how he can be but yes Clark was a jerk and an idiot.

Making a pornography video.

@suemorphplus209:

In Superman For Tomorrow, the entire story is basically one giant moment of stupid decisions, pointless actions and decisions committed by Superman in canon.

In my opinion of course.

@redatom1234: People need to get to know Superman beyond the New 52 and the modern age. In the Silver Age, he was one hot bachelor, and he kissed and flirted with well, every female from Wonder Woman to far off alien princesses. He hasn't always been this guy who grounds himself to Lois Lane. Only the content standards of the Silver Age really stopped DC from making Superman well, a porn star.

@william300: Yeah, the New 52 had some really stupid moments. Yeah Supes, way to be an a-hole, especially to your girlfriend for making a mistake, and saving you from a suicide trip to the Sun, and having you stay in her place,etc.

Then a big WTH when he gave Diana the oil flower. WTH Supes? Do you think perhaps the world's busiest Superwoman is going to remember to feed the flower oil??

Then why did he bench the weight of the Earth again? Wasting energy?!!!

Then yeah, Why would Superman fight Batman and Green Lantern, especially when it is so likely he heard about at least Batman in the news, where he works, and figure maybe Batman isn't the enemy?

@william300: Superman kicked Batman and Green Lantern's ass, and youtube has got the video

I know this the animated adaptation, but I couldn't resist. And yes, that is Superman being a dick to Batman and Green Lantern in his New 52 glory.

@diehard200904: I don't mind Superman being a dick to them. Its not like Green Lantern isn't a cocky asshole and its not like Batman isn't a dick to EVERYONE.

The t shirt and cape look.

@midnightknight: Yeah, but this fight was funny because of how stupid all three characters were in getting into it in the first place.

@diehard200904: except Batman wasn't being a dick or stupid in that fight. He was trying to talk it out and superman chokes him out and GL just ignored him until he figured out he was in over his head. If I was Batman and this is how I met the JL I'd be a dick from that day forward too.

@kiba: Green Lantern seemed to be the worst of the three. Still, doesn't it seem like PIS if Superman is up to date on the news and must have heard about Batman?

Not saving his father in Man of Steel

@ready_4_madness: Canon to the movies yes.

Doing a porno is no longer Canon in the current comics though.

@ready_4_madness: Yes. It was the end of John Byrne, IIRC.

@diehard200904: oh yeah I agree 100%. Hal is a dick almost always. And yes everyone else heard of Batman why not Clark?

@Suemorphplus209

Do movie instances count?

Such as pushing Pa Kent to run so that he has a heart attack?

@diehard200904: If it happened in comics canon too. IIRC, it did not, so let's try to stick to comics.

haha,well....if you call that stupid...
