This may require more thought than some of you care to put in, but why are so many bodybuilders fans of Superman?

Monkey see, monkey do? Ape your betters? Follow the leader? Wishful thinking? Bah!

Bay,

I'm dissapointed in you. Most of Superman's strength had to be psychic. Otherwise he couldn't lift buildings, planes, boats, etc... Why? you ask. Even it you could lift 100tons most objects weighing that much could never support their own weight over the area Superman was grabbing them. Buildings and such would fall apart under their own weight no matter how strong he was.

wouldn't that make his strength telekinetic?

This problem with Superman’s strength has been discussed many many times in a lot of Superman forums online. Prior to that it was discussed in letters to the editor of Superman comics.

The definitive answer is Superman’s strength is not psychic; we simply have to accept his lifting large objects (that should collapse under their own weight) as possible in the world of comix. $:-\$

btw, this is what Constantino Galeazzo looks like when he's not dressed like Clark.

They were just idiots, some mix of telekinetics and super strength are the only things that would make sense. How else would he be able to fly heavy crap around?

Or struggle with the weight of a plane and then fly a mass the size of Texas into outer space even though it was lined with kryptonite? I still liked it, though.

Can someone please tell me what Jim Quinn said during the 93 Mr Olympia, when they tested Flex's bodyfat percentage at Golds?

Thanks

This may require more thought than some of you care to put in, but why are so many bodybuilders fans of Superman? Sure he was built in the comic books and in animation, but he is never really built in live TV shows or movies. Comic fans always complain about that, but the fact is Superman’s strength came from earth’s lighter gravity--not from big muscles.

Here’s Italian bodybuilder, Constantino Galeazzo playing Clark Kent.

I think that a lot of it has to do with the power envolved. Men lift weight to become strong, and superman is obviously the strongest possible. Basically, it's a worship of that which all men want to be: a superman in strengh, who looks just as strong as he is.

The first guy to sport a Superman tat was cool; when you are the 372nd guy to wear the tat it's not cool anymore.
