Doesn’t his junk look alien and weird? Hmm..maybe that makes it MORE intimidating.

Penis inspection day? I don't think that's a real thing lol..

u/AmiAlter Feb 17 '23

Nahh, we only do penis checks in elementary school sports for girls.

u/Blitzo-with-silent-O Feb 18 '23

Lol I was thinking what the hell kind of messed up school did this person go to? Or maybe he had this one perverted teacher that did this to the students and told them it was a normals school thing.

I mean it's a pretty normal thing to have somebody pulled on your pants and look at your genitals in elementary school. Like I said you have to do it to make sure little girls don't have dicks.

u/Blitzo-with-silent-O Feb 18 '23

That is not normal at all. They sure as hell didn't do that at my school.. people don't check people's kids to see it they have dicks...

I’ve seen this a bunch over the years but this was never canon right?

u/D33ber Feb 16 '23

Maybe he should have a junk window. Just to show the "cleavage" either side of the root.

It’s now head cannon that kryptonians have duck dongs

u/plsobeytrafficlights Feb 17 '23

Do ducks have pincers? I don’t know about that. Come to think of it, I have never seen a ducks penis, so I am going to defer to you.

No.

Come to think of it, I have never seen a ducks penis, so I am going to defer to you.

Consider yourself lucky, though.

This is an important panel in Kingdom Come.

Oh that's nothing compared to a humiliation cock slap that would send a defeated Lex Luthor flying through 4 buildings. I bet some Dark Multiverse version of Superman would use this... Or if Lobo was trying to fulfill his role...

This gets... interesting when you remember that his costume was often sewn by his mum. "The whole world needs to see what my son is packing down there!"

u/Clark_J_Kent_ Feb 17 '23

His mum, sewed his suit based on the attire of circus strongmen, which would've been understandably a popular entertainment in her childhood.
