How should Chris Kent die?

[Manic]

See, I would've hired a nanny with superpowers. Supergirl could make herself useful, and watch the kid. Donna Troy used to be a mom. I'm fairly certain there's a retired superhero or two out there.

I could see Grant Morrison writing a story where he dies getting breastfed by Power Girl.

She's got it in her, you know....

[BrianWilly]

I'm guess I wouldn't know first-hand or anything, but I imagine that getting to suckle at Power Girl's teat would be pretty much the opposite of dying, by any stretch of the term.

HOOOO!!!!

 

[Super_Ludacris]

I dont know man, them funbags look like they got the 5th and 6th world. Plus there could be worse ways to go out and die.

You dont think Jason Todd wished he went out dying from a breastmilk overdose?

 

[sethcohen]

How was it a cop out? Because it was an adoption?

Thousands of couples adopt children every day, and not just because they can't conceive. It's not unrealistic, or a stigma. Nor is it somehow "worse" than having "real" children of your own. I mean, talk about a loaded suggestion.

theres nothing wrong with adoption... i may do it some day my self... bruce wayne does it every second tuesday of the month... it just seems like it was done to mirror the movie... i think thats crap since everything about the movie was horrid... if they adopted the kid from birth, or he wasnt such a weiner id be more forgiving... or maybe if it wasnt done to reflect the movie... i think it would have been far more interesting to have lois and clark raise their own child, encountering situations neither of them knows how to handle because the child is a hybrid. a writer could have come up with all sorts of cool and intersting issues... the best we get here is a red sun watch and a whiney kid. oh yay. go cry to mama lois. i dont even know if the kid should have abilities at his age anymore because continuity has been screwed with so much that im not sure if clarks abilities kicked in right away like pre crisis or at puberty like post crisis...

 

[Darthphere]

we all hate this stupid kid, thats agreed,

Not really. I don't hate the kid per say, I hate that they shoehorned the plot of Superman Returns and Donner's "How I would've done it" into the DCU.

 

[Anubis]

I'm pretty meh about him. Kill him, don't kill him, what do I care? If they had a kid, I would have rather it was done the natural way. There was a year where his pop shot wouldn't have blasted her head off, she coulda got knocked up then. (I refuse to beleive such a stupid thing as super semen control. That's where I draw the line. )

But to tell you the truth, I think maybe Seth simply has an overdevelped sense of infanticide.

 

[sethcohen]

it was reading "mama lois" and "daddy clark" that set me over the edge...

 

[Anubis]

That's weird, I had edited my stuff ealier, and it didn't take for some reason, then I hit edit again, and everything I edited the first time came back. The Hype is f**king with me today.

 

[Compi716]

When did this whole "Chris Kent" thing happen? I don't pick up the books monthly, but I've been reading the Action Comics arch with the Legion of Superheroes. When did Clark and Lois adopt a baby?

 

[sethcohen]

2 arcs before that... the one that kubert couldnt seem to get out on time...

 

[Mr.Tenacity]

Make the kid fight Doomsday in front of the superhero community. It could be like a super-barmitzva that could pass him as an asset to the DC universe or a super death-funeral combination.Time to man up kid.

 

[Artistsean]

Maybe the kid gets kidnapped by Doomsday.

Seriously though, Superman is at work or saving the day and Lois is working all the time. Do they show them now making time for their child in the comics?

 

[BrianWilly]

Pretty much. One or the other is usually with him, and barring significant plot points the kid is hardly ever alone.

i think it would have been far more interesting to have lois and clark raise their own child

Chris is "their own child." I totally understand what you mean, but I'm just making sure you understand what you're saying. I mean, let's all just bask for a moment in the irony of people not wanting Clark Kent of all people, who himself was an adopted child, to adopt a child.

encountering situations neither of them knows how to handle because the child is a hybrid. a writer could have come up with all sorts of cool and intersting issues...

Which is somehow totally different from them encountering situations neither knows how to handle because the child is a Kryptonian, period. If a writer wanted to come up with cool and interesting issues, he'd do it just as easily if the kid was a hybrid or not.

 

[Spike_x1]

Not really. I don't hate the kid per say, I hate that they shoehorned the plot of Superman Returns and Donner's "How I would've done it" into the DCU.

Ditto.

I'm pretty meh about him. Kill him, don't kill him, what do I care? If they had a kid, I would have rather it was done the natural way.

Whenever theories arise about how Superman and Lois supposedly can't have sex because of the shotgun effect, I'll usually just side with the argument that Superman's reproductive organs could work in a completely different way than humans'. Sperm might just dribble out instead of shoot, or it could even come out of his armpits during sex, for all we know. That's between Clark and Lois; as long as they have a happy marriage and sex life, I couldn't care less about the dirty details.

 

[Anubis]

Supes ejaculates outta his tonsils.

 

[Red_Knight]

I haven't actually read Superman in a while, but I always thought being a father could serve Supes well. Could make him more vulnerable and relatable, IMO. Of course, the writing needs to be right.

In any case, Chris has got to better than Damien, who's just redundant. I mean, Batman already had a teenage "son" turn on him recently. The kid's called Jason Todd, you might have heard of him. . IMHO, that was a pretty spectacular story, too. So, I don't really see the point of the rehashing the whole deal with Damien. If DC wants Batman to have an evil son, they should've just kept Jason evil, period.

 

[yenaled]

When Superman sneezes he does destroy a city block.

So he obviously has control over bodily functions.

So he'd be able to have sex with Lois.

 

[Anubis]

Hell, anybody can control a sneeze, but I don't know of anybody that can control the speed of their pop shot. There are far too many one eyed porn stars to support this. I can only suspend my disbelief so far.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I wonder if Chris would've called himself Superboy if DC still owned the rights to the name.

 

[Anubis]

Is that all settled, or is it still in the courts?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know. I think a recent verdict was in the Siegels' favor, but I don't know if DC appealed it or whatever.

 

[Whirlysplat]

I like Chris Kent.

 

[Whirlysplat]

"Kid Superman" works for me
