Examples Of Superdickery: Home of the phrase that started it all, "Superman is a dick." Witness an ever growing selection of examples of Superman acting like... well, a dick.
Frames and Panels: This section contains scans of individual panels and frames from the interiors of comic books, completely devoid of context.
Everything's Better With Monkeys: Gorillas provided a guaranteed boosts to circulation with every cover appearance. Do not argue with the mesmerizing powers of gorillas. And yes, I know gorillas aren't monkeys.
Weird Science: Gadgets and gizmos and doodads, oh my! A section devoted to everything from the Helmet of Hate to the Man with the Electronic Brain.
Suffering Sappho!: "Hi, you've reached Wonder Woman. I'm sorry I can't come to the phone right now - I'm all tied up." You'd think she'd leave that rope at home, seeing how often she gets tied up with it...
Given the creator, this is probably true. DC is lucky he didn't include polygamy as one of Wonder Woman's traits, though, given Paradise Island, you never know...
Ascended Meme: The premiere of Batman The Brave And The Bold's third season is a tribute to the website. It recreates some of the more famous Superman comic covers featured on the site and has Lois get called out for trying to trick Supes into marriage all the time. The site's name even gets a Shout Out:
Jimmy: "Superman's turned into a real di-" Lois: "-fferent person."
Beware the Superman: Given the number of times he's accidentally or purposefully destroyed buildings/cities/nations/planets....
Butt Monkey: A good amount of Superman's Superdickery involves screwing around with Jimmy Olsen.
Comically Missing the Point: The captions sometimes do this, pointing out some random detail in the pictures.
In the Blood: One cover gives insight into Superman's behavior: Jor-El is a dick.
Some covers even imply Supergirl to be one, mostly towards her cousin.
It Makes Sense in Context: The creator of the site acknowledges that most of the examples likely sense in context (probably because it is the SILVER AGE we're dealing with), but it's simply funnier this way.
For example, that panel showing Superman with Super-Weaving? That's actually Van-Zee, a Krytonian from Kandor who happens to have an Uncanny Family Resemblance to Superman. The story deliberately plays with the reader's expectations by not having anything from characters to the narration refer to him or Silvia Dewitt — an Identical Stranger of Lois Lane — by their actual names until The Reveal (even skipping over certain scenes that easily give away the surprise, then showing them once the twist is executed). So technically, Superman himself doesn't actually have Super-Weaving powers. That we know of.
There was a similar case when Superboy threatened to rape Wonder Girl: it was an ugly alien disguising itself as him. That's about it. Still a threat of rape.
There are a couple of cases where the site's creator is familiar with the context, but says it doesn't make sense anyway.
. The links below still lead to the original website though so be careful!These comics are mostly from The Silver Age of Comic Books (although there are quite a few from more recent eras) and mainly from DC Comics, due to the many, many instances of Superman acting like a complete dick.These are split into several categories:
