Although superheroes are meant to be paragons of peace, we know they will have moments where they falter.

But there's one person you'd think we can all vouch for in any circumstance; Superman. He is the perfect superhero. That's literally his whole thing. How could he ever let us down?

Because of this mentality, you can imagine how awkward it was when his wife, Lois Lane, found the panties of Supes' ex-girlfriend, Lana Lang, in their bedroom.

Okay, for anyone, this situation is pretty bad. For Superman, it's devastating. You know what's worse? Lois found the undies-in-question while being confined to a wheelchair after being shot through the chest by a sniper.

But we're not done yet! Just before this confrontation, the two had organised going away for the weekend to see Clark's parents. When they arrived at the Kent farm (after an incredibly awkward drive), Clark and Lois learn that Lana is there too!

Despite the fact the main conflicts of this story are a psychotic Kryptonian, a muscle-bound repoman, and freaking Doomsday, the passive-aggressive snide comments between Lois and Lana still manage to be the standout moment.
