10 Things About Superman That Make No Sense

It’s hardly a secret that marriage is often treated as a fickle circumstance that can be easily reversed in comics. Obviously this hasn’t been any different for Superman and Lois Lane, who’ve had a tumultuous history since the very beginning.

This would eventually change in 1996, however, where they would marry, and remain married until finally being retconned in 2011. Before 1996, though, the two would have their marriage put on hold for the longest time, due to major publication events and plain own relationship drama.

Even still, the life that the couple had following the wedding would be far from perfect. Here, Superman would be the focus of attention, while Lois is sidelined until her next solo adventure as an investigative reporter. Elsewhere was even worse - with Lois being portrayed as a nagging and jealous wife.

The approach here seems to be that a marriage can only be interesting for comic books so long as the two remain at odds with one another. But what’s the point, then, of seeing them together when their relationship is so rotten?
