Guy has a giant noggin, but let's be real: it could be anybody under that helmet. Oy.

I never really got into it, but I know they're some folks who did.

For those of you (gay) who like their heroes lovingly hand drawn with rippling muscles and too-square-for-real-life jaws , meet DC Comics' latest flightless, loveless space orphan, the superhero formerly known as Superman. How the mighty have fallen.

That's all I've got. Now, FLY MONKEYS.
