10 Superman Moments That Shocked The World

3. The Superman Sex Tape

Superman Doctor Light Justice League Trinity War
DC Comics

Rewinding back to 1987’s Action Comics #593, this bizarre tale involved Superman, the wife of one of Supes’ Justice League buddies, an aptly-named villain called Sleez, and some naughty intentions. Said JL buddy was Mister Miracle, and it was Miracle’s wife Big Barda who was put under a mind-control spell by Sleez. Not content with merely having Barda under his spell, Sleez then followed this up by brainwashing the Man of Steel.

If you’ve got a literal god and his almighty powers under your control, what would be the first thing you’d do? Well, if you’re Sleez then you’d go about making a porno.

Luckily for Superman, Barda, and any worried readers, Mister Miracle would arrive to save the day moments before Sleeze's scheme paid off.
