His real parents, or his human adopted parents? Because I'm not so sure he ever had a chance to see his real parents fuck. Not unless they taped it and left it on one of those crystals in his fortress of solitude. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Adoptive ๐Ÿ‘ parents ๐Ÿ‘ are ๐Ÿ‘ real ๐Ÿ‘ parents ๐Ÿ‘

But yeah, he definitely saw Johnathan slamming that midwussy.

How does one do the clapping thing in real life? Do you clap along with every word, or alternate between word and clap?

[-] Bgugi@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Either at the start of each word or to accentuate each syllable.

[-] Mickey7@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

He was too young to see this on his home planet. So yeah he might have seen his earth foster parents do it

[-] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 0 points 3 days ago

The point was he has "X-Ray" vision, which lets him see through solid objects. Ergo, he likely couldn't help seeing them from time to time until he learned to control that power.

[-] dunz@feddit.nu 14 points 3 days ago

His superpowers doesn't work on Krypton

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

Sexual reproduction is prohibited on Krypton anyway.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

People in here apparently don't know enough about Superman to be confused by the question.

[-] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 3 points 3 days ago

What question?

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 5 points 3 days ago

He grew up on a farm. He saw lots of sex.

Also, x-ray vision. He saw lots of sex.

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Damn Martha and John catching some strays here. Guys, they're his parents too.

[-] nesc@lemmy.cafe 4 points 3 days ago

And? People have sex even if they have children already.

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 5 points 3 days ago

And most people don't wanna watch

free porn, which means you have to watch

[-] nesc@lemmy.cafe 2 points 3 days ago

Part of the social contract, what can you do?

[-] TheFogan@programming.dev 3 points 3 days ago

I believe the point is, usually your kids don't have the power to see through walls. Of course I'm pretty sure most interpretations of superman, Depending on the interpretation of superman, he discovers his powers between 12 and 18.

[-] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 0 points 3 days ago

He probably didn't have a choice no matter when he got the power - I doubt he knew how to control it right off the bat.

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 14 points 3 days ago

Which part confused you. Show us on the doll.

[-] cheesemoo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Oh did OP mean his adoptive parents? I was thinking about his birth parents on Krypton.

[-] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

He may have been on the other room but his x-ray vision and super hearing means he knew exactly what was happening.

[-] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

If he has x-ray vision shouldn't he just be seeing a bunch of bones or other dense objects not penetrable by x-rays? Can it be shut off? How? Are we sure he wasn't responsible for a drastic rise in cancer rates by going around just blasting everyone with his radiation vision all day?

[-] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

While he can turn off his laser vision I am going to go ahead and say he cannot turn off x-ray vision. Superman only identifies people based on skeletal structure.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Have you ever seen Superman compliment someones hair?

Me neither.

[-] nesc@lemmy.cafe 3 points 3 days ago

Is there a one-shot somewhere about people around superman getting cancer due to his x-ray vision? I think it would be an observable phenomenon if his eyes always worked in this manner.

[-] NeatoBuilds@mander.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

Like watchmen

[-] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 0 points 3 days ago

In the comics (at least those from my decades ago childhood), it's depicted as him seeing the same as normal people do - just through stuff. As such, I've always assumed it's not actually X-Rays proper & they just used that phrase to convey the concept of seeing through solid objects.
