Essay

This first think I do when I wake up as Superman?

Think.

What really needs doing?

There is a terrible temptation, of course, stop whatever crime is going on right here, right now — Oh look, a traffic violation! Drag racing down Main Street in Smallville!

But meanwhile Lex Luthor is giving the Keynote address to the graduating class at MIT. And why not? Those graduates make up the next generation of Luthor's technically skilled henchmen.
