I though Metropolis was in NY and Gotham was in NJ. And Superman would kill Peter Parker if he blew a load in him too.

What's with you and blowing loads?

[ChiTownBuffalo]

What's with you and blowing loads?

There have been drought like conditions for the last couple months.

[Always-honest]

He is Super Human... jeeeeeeesssssszzzz....

[Tence]

Even if you can get your head around him moving the planets, your then confronted with the question of where the fuck that big ass chain came from?

And are those all different chains binding the planets, or is it one huge mega chain through all the planets cores?

Edit: Somehow the words 'planet core' reminds me of this abomination :(

People in Kansas don't have accents.

This post has enraged me to such a degree that I'm not even going to bother reading the rest of the thread to see if anybody else has pointed out how ridiculous it is. Everybody on Earth has an accent. There is no such thing as somebody who does not have an accent.

People from Kansas have no inflection, or regional patois, apart from the accent associated with American English.

Is that better?

[Ermc_G6]

Posting from Kansas right now.

Assuming you have most of your teeth and a job, most people in Kansas have no accent at all. I've even been told that most of the speakers in "Learn English" instructional guides are from here also because they lack an accent.

I live her in Kansas and can verify. I asked a German foreign exchange student I dated about choosing Kansas and this was the reason. She couldn't understand a thing anyone said when she got off the plane in Dallas.

Also, some people around here call all soda "coke".

I'm from Jersey (but not the cheesy shore part), people tell me all the time I don't have an accent.

what are superman's views on birth control?

Ain't no condom been made yet that can stop his Super Sperm.

[Evlar]

Sounds like he's from Kansas to me, at least the parts of the state I'm familiar with. I imagine southern Kansas gets more "twangy", but the northern parts are pretty much in line with Standard American English.

I thought everyone in the world had some kind of accent, just that you're so used to it you don't notice it.

[The Albatross]

Everybody, everywhere has an accent. It is unavoidable and caused by your speech community and speech environment. You may not realize you have an accent until you enter someone else's speech environment (ie. dude from Ohio goes to New York, girl from Kansas goes to Quebec, English guy goes to Australia, et al).

Yeah but not everybody necessarily has the stereotypical accent from where they're from. I'm from Massachusetts, born and raised, and while I pronounce some things with a Massachusetts accent, my dad's from all over the US and so I generally do not have the tell tale signs of an MA accent.

[Dorrin]

I live in Missouri although close to the Kansas border. As other have stated I've always heard the area around here has a very flat non distinct accent. We most definately don't have any drawl. What we do have are some specific differences even within the state such as crick vs creek or wash vs warsh. Lets not get into Pop vs Soda vs a 'Coke'.

My job entails calling a lot of different companies from around the US. I can tell you that for me I don't notice a difference in most of the midwest, really even all way to the west coat. Chicago stands out a bit, but just one state to the south Arkansas there is a noticeable twang. East coast accents really stand out to me, particularly east/northeast. To my midwest ears my contacts there always sound pissed off 100% of the time.

[Cryptozoologist]

Me too, grew up in Jersey and PA, and I have a completely neutral accent.

My cousins however sound Jersey as all hell.

What is this "recon punch".....I am intrigued. Someone kindly enlighten me.

Superboy Prime pounding on the walls of the universe changed various thing in DC' s history and in one cause hit it so hard he brought a dude(the 2nd Robin) back to life.

[Zeth]

This thread has enraged me. Accent is subjective. No such thing as "no accent". Is Kansas supposed to be the most neutral American accent? Pretty sure that would be somewhere in the middle of the country.

[Genesis Knight]

Yes, yes, everyone has an accent. The point is that most people from the Midwest USA (Kansas, Missouri, a few others) have such a neutral, dictionary pronunciation that they are considered to 'lack an accent' when it comes to English.

Uneducated 'accents' that have been mentioned such as "warsh" or "chimbley" don't count, IMO.

[Dark Octave]

Some do. My wife was born and raised in Kansas and she and her cousins don't have an accent but her mom, aunts and uncles do.

You can tell they aren't from California though.

If he flew to England I bet they would think he had an accent.

Because comic book artists. Also see: Anorexic female characters.

This has been bugging me:

If Superman gets his powers from the yellow sun, how can he travel interstellar distances?

[Kinyou]

I'm no astrophysicist but I think Superman just fucked up some shit there

I would really like to see him arrive on the other side of the universe and to notice that everyone on the planets died some horrible death.

Superboy Prime pounding on the walls of the universe changed various thing in DC' s history and in one cause hit it so hard he brought a dude(the 2nd Robin) back to life.

So he basically punches reality?

...

[PuppetSlave]

This has been bugging me: If Superman gets his powers from the yellow sun, how can he travel interstellar distances?

I think they usually explain it as he stores the sun powers like an battery.

I remember comics where his powers were greatly reduced when he had been away for a while. Something with darkseid I think.

[Kjellson]

I always thought Superman lived in New York until I saw the ending of Superman 78 on TV a couple of days ago.

[Log4Girlz]

He ate apart of the sun and gained its powers.

This.... The Midwest is known for its "accent less" talk which is a big reason why call centers are popular here.

So what was last seen of SBP? Last I heard he was attacked by black lanterns.

[Slayven]

He showed up in the final issues of Titans with his own crew.

[Andrex]

So what was last seen of SBP? Last I heard he was attacked by black lanterns.

Didn't he confront the writers of his comic and had them like, rewrite his life to be happy go lucky? Or was that someone else.

[Anticitizen One]

Does Supergirl sound like a country bumpkin?

[soundscream]

Hell yeah.

Is it just me or does that dog look more like a bear cub?

[MisterHero]

He showed up in the final issues of Titans with his own crew.

That arc was laaaame.

Titans lecture Prime about "actions defining your life".

BAM DC UNIVERSE REBOOT

Didn't he confront the writers of his comic and had them like, rewrite his life to be happy go lucky? Or was that someone else.

That's the thing. That's how it ended, but after the completely illogical Titans storyline, the Titans threw him into the Source Wall. :/

[lunarworks]

I though Metropolis was in NY and Gotham was in NJ. And Superman would kill Peter Parker if he blew a load in him too.

I always figured Metropolis and Gotham were more or less two sides of one coin, with no distinct location. "Somewhere around" NYC, and representing two different views of it. Bright and prosperous, dark and seedy.

The DCnU Supergirl can't even speak anything besides Kryptonian at the moment.

[FyreWulff]

There are a shit ton of call centers here in Omaha because our accent is supposed to be similar to the one they train newscasters/etc to use, so it's seen as the most compatible or some shit. I don't know.

It also helped that 800 Numbers and Omaha had a pretty interesting history. For a long time, if you called an 800 number you were calling a call center in Omaha.

Still didn't stop people from saying I was from India though when I worked in one of the call centers.
