And Superman usually appears in stressful, dangerous, panicky situations. Seriously, in a situation like that, your memory acts funny. We did an experiment in my psychology class one time, the professor had a guy come in right before class and steal his jacket from off his desk. He came in, asked where the professor was, grabbed the jacket and ran out the door.
The professor told us all to write down a description of the person and nobody was accurate. One guy said he was black, another girl said he had sunglasses, one said he looked like a surfer, one said he had on a sweater. Yeah, it was a short white guy in a green t-shirt. Witnesses aren't as reliable as people think they are.
Plus, if you were Superman... would you even HAVE an alternate ID? And if you did, would it be like Clark Kent?
And Clark Kent has had his picture taken with Superman and has done a live TV interview with him, plus they seem to be in two places at once a lot (Clark was just in Metropolis, Superman was spotted in Berlin, etc.)
And Perry White knows he’s Superman but he sits on the story. I bet Jimmy does, and I can almost guarantee Lois had a good idea before but didn’t say anything.
I mean, would YOU want to be the guy that exposed Superman? Would you want to be responsible for something like that? And would you ever, ever, EVER want to go into a dark room alone again? Yeah, I bet a lot of people know he’s Clark Kent but they don’t say anything. Why would they?

Great post.

Comic universe's a helluva lot more positive and good in general then real life. Superman's a living, breathing, icon, the biggest ever. God knows how many lives he's saved, how many times he's put it all on the line. Unlike real life, they're all a lot of good people and what not, standing behind him. You know?

Well uh jeez I didn't miss that part but when you live in a world of shapeshifters,holograms, special effects what the hell does that prove? I mean the JLA has J'onn, it wouldn't take a genius to figure it out.

As for him being the most powerful creature on earth, big stinking deal. He's superman whats he going to do?...nothing.

As I said journalists rarely ever give a crap and its not like the planet is the only Newspaper in the world. I remember when Lois (under mind control) shirt ripped clark in front of everyone in the newsroom and using his super speed to draw a bat on some guys shirt managed to completely get away with it. Never mind that without his shirt and glasses he Looks IDENTICAL to superman. But no everyone in the office falls for it bwahahahah

Ok, next topic. This is going in circles, he just doesn't get it.

How did the Martian Manhunter get to Earth? I know the other Martians were all killed, right? And he was transported here... was it right as the rest were killed, shortly after or was he sent forward in time or something?

And John stayes out of everyones mind, it's a matter of privacy and respect. Like how the old Avngers used to function, they knew each other as Giant Man and Ironman and so on.

Yup.

Not sure about that one though. I have just about everything ever MM related, need to get around to reading them though. I hear when he takes on human guise, actes like a complete dumb ass, and gets a bunch of criminals arrested and then escapes, it's hilarious. He was always pretty damned funny in Animal Man as well, Buddy Bakers wife really liked him.

You really are Kritic Lite at times man.

 

[Bat-Mantis]

Does anybody have the OFFICIAL origin of Alan Scott? There are about 6 floating around, most were erased with the crisis.
I know it was from a meteor, but where is the meteor from? I've read that it was from the Guardians, old and flawed energy. I've heard it was just energy the guardians grabbed and condensed, but for what purpose? I've heard that it was purely magical and I've heard that it just hasn't been explained.

 

[Guyverjay]

Heres the short version

J'onn was exiled in the desert for 13 years blah blah then got transported to earth accidentally by some professor bloke. He then assumes human form blah bah blah find a way to transport himself back (why he didn't just fly there is anybodies guess) and finds the place in ruins

 

[The Leaguer]

About Alan Scott's origin, I found this:

http://glcorps.dcuguide.com/alan.html

It documents its sources, so I'd assume you could accept it as the official origin.

I have a question about the Flash that replaced Wally a few years ago, I think I've heard him referred to as the Dark Flash, does anyone know who i'm talking about? He popped up in a few DC books, the one I remember best was in JLA. He revealed his identity to Superman, who immediately vouched for him. Anyway, who was he and what was his deal? I never heard any more about him after that, since back then all I read was JLA. Thanks in advance.

You mean The Flash that replaced Barry? Wally is the current Flash. Only "Dark Flash" I can think of is the representation of death one. Kind of like The Black Racer for the New Gods. Black Lighting was one of his nick names or something, it's all pretty vauge.

Just a different variation of Wally West from the future or something. I think so anyhow.

 

[The Leaguer]

Alright, thanks.

 

[X]

No problem.

There was a Barry imposter, aka Zoom...In the Return of Barry Allen (well, not really)

 

[X]

Yeah, Zoom's been around forever. He idolized Barry so much, he got surgery to look just like him.

 

[The Leaguer]

Is that the Hunter Zoloman Zoom, from the recent story arc?

 

[X]

Yup.

 

[Bat-Mantis]

Wait, what?

 

[X]

What are you confused over?

 

[Bat-Mantis]

Hunter Zoloman is the same Zoom Barry used to fight?

 

[X]

No, that's Eobard Thawne.

And Bat-Mantis, have you checked out the DTL threads yet? You should, maybe even think about joining next season, in a couple of months and all. You can come and vote as well...
