How does clark kent shave

The guy on the cover is actually an escaped psychiatric patient named Jylla from the 40th century. He was apprehended in the Superman Museum, by men from the future.

Wow, this stuff was weird. Only marginally relevant, but there's a scene in Hancock where the title character, a similarly invulnerable superhero, shaves with his fingernails.

He doesn't shave. His mustache is removed by CGI in post-production : — vsz. Show 13 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. Jeff Jeff k 28 28 gold badges silver badges bronze badges.

Heh, well then, why wasn't he bald or nearly so as a child? TomZych: like most of his powers, it developed as he grew. It's a bird! It's a plane! It must be a superpower! There's more about Superman shaving with a Kryptonite razor, in the discussion on how Hancock shaves: reddit. Nav - there's absolutely no mention of a kryptonite razor in my answer, nor mentions of any razor. In fact, my answer is entirely about how Superman in the Golden Age explicitly did not need a razor.

The assumption is that since his hair is as invulnerable as the rest of him, it takes something on his own level of power to cut or burn it. In theory he could do a haircut in the same manner, it would just take more than one reflector. Or he could make a set of shears out of the same metal. For other conundrums of the world of superheroes, I suggest you check out "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex".

Various copies of it have been floating around the 'net for years. A true classic! Daft: His hair is much less invulnerable than his skin. Show 2 more comments.

Luthor cutting the hair was one of MANY plot-holes in that movie.

Good ol' laser hair removal — Wayne Werner. Wonder if he 'man-scapes' with the same method? Swamp Think Swamp Think 91 1 1 bronze badge.

Perhaps a solution for Superman? That's Hancock, not Superman, lol — OghmaOsiris. Those were our first two as well. Although the theories that ended up in the video are somewhat out there, the theories that the duo discarded were even more outrageous. That would be weird. As weird as the suggestions that did make the cut? Judge for yourself -- Jamie and Adam's video is below:. View Iframe URL.

Perhaps they could control the temperature of their heat vision better than the comic book Superman? As a result, he starts out looking pretty scruffy, with an unkempt beard and mustache. However, when Clark discovers the Kryptonian scout ship in the Arctic and learns about his origins from a holographic Jor-El, the next scene sees him step out onto the snow in his Superman suit, fully shaved and well groomed. Perhaps Clark gave himself a quick heat vision trim between scenes — or perhaps the scout ship was capable of replicating some Kryptonian barber tools.
