10 Moments When Superman Was A Real Jerk

7. When He Belittles His Friends...

Green Lantern New Frontier
DC Comics

Though there are countless examples of Superman belittling his friends and allies (he is a jerk, after all), the above panel is perhaps the most hilarious example of it. In the midst of several personal problems, Green Lantern gets reamed out by the Man of Tomorrow for having a messy personal life.

This is instead of perhaps helping Hal Jordan get through these problems or at least providing emotional support. The most ridiculous aspect is that Superman seems to feel that the worst offence is that Hal doesn't have an apartment. Come on, Kal-El, it's not like all of us have a giant citadel in the Arctic that we call the Fortress of Solitude to live in.

Sure, it would make it less solitude-y, but why not offer Hal a room there to crash in for a bit? Or, at the very least, there's got to be a spare room on the Justice League satellite that you guys haven't filled with trophies yet.
