How come Superman didn't kill Hitler?

[Dixon Carter Lee]

During WWII comic books continued to show Superheros battling aliens and monsters, and even the Nazis. How come Superman never flew to Berlin, picked up Hitler, and took him to the moon? How come during D-Day he was busy fighting Mugsy and his racketeering Chicago thugs? Huh? How come?

And don't give me that "he's not real" crap. I want answers.

I think that Bugs Bunny could have done a good job on Hitler also. That crazy wabbit and his hijinx coulda done Hitler in.

 

[Saint Valentine]

The fact that he's not real and the fact that he doesn't kill. Most comics are about escapism not news. Why write about the war when every paper in the country did?

Because Superman...ummm....wait, I have a good answer for this one!


Because Superman is a 'man' first and foremost, and refuses to act as a deus ex machina for humanity. He will not, as a rule, solve major world problems, because that would elevate him to god-like status, and interfere with humanity's quest to better itself.

Maybe Superman wanted to stay on Henry Ford's good side?

It's a matter of degrees, though. Mugsy is a crook stealing from a bank, and Superman stops him. Hitler is a crook murdering millions of people. Um...

The Iraqi Minister of information would have denied it anyway.

If he had helped the Allied Forces, there'd be no League of Nations/U.N. today.

Is that when Jughead killed Moose?

I thought Reggie (AKA Sean Hannity) killed Moose.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

So he doesn't kill him. He can't bring him to a hotel in Washington for a nice chat with FDR? That can't happen?

And then a fly-over over the battlefield, warming up the Tiger Tanks with his x-ray vision so the Germans flee the vehicles? That can't happen?

Fucking flying alien faggot.

I never said it was a perfect answer...maybe Hitler had Kryptonite?

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Wasn't that the plot to "Raiders"?

 

[Renegade]

Rumor has it Hitler wore kryptonite laced bra and panties under his clothes.

 

[Johnny Mayberry]

Oh, something I just thought of: Hitler dabbled in the occult, right? And Superman is vunerable to magic attacks. Maybe that explains it?

 

[Saint Valentine]

DCL, you seem bitter about this. Maybe you should have a sit down with the Kryptonian and discuss it with him directly.

On the eastern front the Germans would have loved that.

Then they wouldn't have had to build fires under the tanks to unfreeze the oil.

Well he tried to, because he wanted so bad to fuck Midge. Jughead actually succeeded by serving him up a sandwich laced with enough "D-UH" to kill all of Riverdale. He should've known that Hotdog would lick up some of the vomit, and not even Professor Flutesnoot could save him...

 

[Harbinger]

It's 'cause Captain America fought the Nazis first. That was his thing, so Superman couldn't do it without CA suing for trade dress infringement. It's all in the contract, all the superheros have them.

I understand you so much better now, Purp.

On a lighter note, he was forbidden from entering french airspace.

Ask pp_man. I am sure he has all the correct answers for this one.

Even though they adopted "Up, up, and away!" as their battle cry?

The Captain really dropped the ball on this one by getting himself frozen. Superman could of done a much better job then that klutz. It's really too bad that we didn't have the X-Men back in those days.
