10 Times Superman Was Humiliated

7. Super-Porn - The Suicide Snare

Action Comics #593 Superman Big Barda
DC Comics

Action Comics #593's The Suicide Snare had the rather random plot point of Superman starring in a sex tape.

This was a plan put in place by the villainous - and aptly named - Sleez, whose mission objective was to get Superman and Big Barda to feature in an X-rated video. Why did Sleez want to do this? Purely for sh*ts 'n' giggles and just to be a thorough creep.

To put together this raunchy footage, this rogue first brainwashed Barda before then doing the same to the Big Blue Boy Scout. The fact that the greatest superhero in the realm of DC Comics was manipulated to become a porn star, is something that ranks as one of the more humiliating things to happen to Supes.

What made this whole situation even worse is that Big Barda was the wife of Superman's fellow Justice Leaguer, Mister Miracle. Fortunately for all involved, though, Miracle arrived just in the nick of time to stop his bride and the Man of Tomorrow from fully sealing the deal.

Feel free to make your own 'faster than a speeding bullet' puns right about now.
