10 Times Superman Was Humiliated
6. He Got Drunk Off A Few Swigs Of Beer - Powerless
Wasted after only a few swigs of beer? Oh dear, Kal...
Back when the New 52 was introduced to shake up the world of DC Comics, one element of change for Superman was how he'd developed a new power. Now able to fire a solar flare from his body, the Man of Steel is shown putting this ability to the test in the Powerless story in Superman Vol. 3 #40.
While this power is pretty darn cool, the downside is that it drains Supes of all of his otherworldly abilities for 24 hours. Usually impervious to alcohol, the post-solar flare Clark Kent is now capable of getting drunk. And not just that, but his tolerance level to any booze is ridiculously low to the point he gets hammered on a few sips of light beer.
In this inebriated state, Superman becomes that overly-giddy, overly-loud friend who doesn't realise they're spilling all kinds of personal details to anyone within earshot - which isn't exactly ideal when you're secretly a superhero with a bunch of similarly heroic best friends.
