Not Really a Crossover Plotbunny, Just Something I've Been Wondering

Superman has a facility with language. He speaks all human languages fluently, and writes for a living.

He also has proven, at least once, that he is willing to die in the line of duty.

Magic is also one of his weaknesses.

So, if he had been offered the Oath as a (pre-)teenager, and had taken it, could he kick his own butt?

And would he be able to convince kryptonite not to hurt him?

And I still need a YW icon.

I wouldn't want to see what the lone power would pull out of it's bag of tricks to balance out Superman ... *gulp*

Ooh. Good point.

Though if he were called young enough (in the continuity that existed between MoS and Birthright), he wouldn't've been "super" yet and just would've been a normal kid.

Yep. A completely normal kid born to supergenius bioparents and adopted by abnormally virtuous adoptive parents.

Upon considering the adage that "Superman is the world's hero, but Superman's hero is Jonathan Kent," maybe Jonathan Kent's an abdal. . . .

I bet it would look something like the big scary thing from the second Fantastic Four movie.

OH WAIT. It already /did/ that big scary angry cloud thingy. My bad!

On second thought: I've decided it would be a combination of something like the angry black cloud whose name I can't ever spell right, combined with the red matter from Star Trek.

Ironically, my friend says that for their new 'verse, the writers relied on someone's Star Trek books a little more than others. Now, this may or may not be true, as I heard it from someone who got her info Who-Knows-Where. But, it might explain why upon seeing the red matter, my mind might have gone, "That is not unlike something Diane Duane might think up. That's the Lone Power all the way."

HMMMMMM, I say!
