Superman Stories

deckardcanineFrom what I can tell, there are five different kinds
Of Superman stories all told.
In one, he is weakened by kryptonite shards
Or whatnot; that quickly gets old.
At times, he contends with a villain whose might
Surpasses or equals his own.
Perhaps he’s quite safe but must rescue a friend
And barely can do it alone.
On rarer occasions, a character learns
His secret identity, oops!
Just how will he stop them from spreading the word
When killing’s a no-no for Supes?
The last kind will focus on somebody else,
With Superman lending support.
I’m not a big fan of the old Man of Steel,
So that one’s my favorite sort.
