Okay... that was the last time for teasing you about Superman. Joke's gotten old.

I've seen good Superman stories and I've seen lame ones. But I've not followed superhero comics for over 20 years, AND I've always been a Marvel guy anyway.

I just like poking fun at you.

The majority of Superman storylines barely focus on his powers, but rather who he is as a character. He's the moral compass of the DC universe and has to carry all the weight of the world. I almost ALWAYS hear the complaint "he's boring because he can do anything" coupled with "I don't really read his comics that much." Give it a chance! In fact, they're now wrapping up his storyline in which he's been depowered for nearly a year, so that's a great opportunity!

I think Characters without character flaws are boring. I saw an edgy superman one time and he was awesome. turned out to be an alternate reality.

I haven't read many Superman comics, but I don't find him that interesting--he can do almost anything, and is practically invulnerable (barring deus ex machina), so where's the challenge?

As a character? Be honest.
