01 July 2015

Did you watch the latest Avengers film? See a few of the virile superheroes pitiably attempting to lift Thor’s hammer? Well it turns out that Superman could do it - because he already has.

This, alluding to the DC/Marvel comic crossover from long ago, is just one of the many astonishing facts about Krypton’s finest you’ll find housed in this infographic, which is about to blow your puny, earthling mind.

Well how about Lex Luther’s hatred for him stems from Lex blaming Superman for his baldness? See, we told you.

As mild mannered journalist ourselves, we fully endorse this Kypt sheet.
