    I think the problem with this book is that it really hard to have a cut-off point for powers. Most of the cast are aliens or other species, so technically their powers are natural to them. You could limit it to granted powers but that would only take out like two heros. All in all, kinda doomed from the start.

    The problem is that every superhero gets a "I've lost my powers!" story at one time or another. So most of these characters probably have better individual stories handling this concept. I thought Marvel's "Powerless" was a better idea, reimagining the Marvel characters as people in the "Real world," without powers. Daredevil is just a blind lawyer trying to get the Kingpin behind bars, Peter Parker is just a nerd who got a shriveled arm from being bitten by a spider, etc. Only problem is the Logan story ventured into spy noir which was interesting but sort of pushed the limit of things being realistic.

    She is right about WW. She would still be a superior human being due to all her earned fighting skills and intelligence, just like Batman. The take on WW is beyond ignorant of the character and typical of the crappy writing associated with her.
    She should be taken from DC and given to people who will be consistent, knowledgable and intelligible with the character.

    Here's another missed opportunity this book could have used, giving every de-powered hero a set of power armor like steel had. The JLA has both the financial backing and resources to do this and no one even thinks about it.

    See, like... in my head If Superman lost his powers, he wouldn't just get mad that he lost his powers and that ne was now a weak mortal. I like to imagine Clark would be super happy, struggling to open a jar of pickles, and getting out of breath on a morning run would be things he would value and treasure. Sure, I think some part would miss the superpowers... but I dont think he would just give up and become a drunk. He would become a volentarily fire fighter or would go to star labs or steel amd have them work on appropriations of hid power

    Because it was brought up in the episode, "Red Sun" Radiation can make him human esque so he and Lois can bang. Doesn't hurt Superman, just cancels his powers.

    As far as the Superman/wonder woman story, I would have had Lois die in a normal everyday situation, Clark unable to help her starts his downward spiral. Wonder woman struggling with her normal everyday life and no longer being near immortal ends up bonding with Clark and starting a relationship. Where they both start the others recovery.

    At some point partway through this video, I hit on what I think would have been a neat idea: Instead of being smushed by Toyman's lame robot, Steel survives and goes on to become some kind of inventor helping the former heroes simulate their lost powers through his tech, sort of like a benevolent Tinkerer from Marvel comics.
    Also, Superman's reaction reminds me of Super Dave Osborne after attempting and failing to perform some kind of silly stunt that totally wrecks him while he 's yelling "NEW PAIN! RECORD PAIN!"
    And, I don't know f you know about this, but chances are, you do, but I'll just mention it anyway just in case one of your other subscribers reads this and is interested: In about 1969, Larry Niven wrote an essay involving the difficulties pre-Crisis Superman might have engaging in sexual activities with a human woman (named "LL" in the essay) called "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex." I found it an amusing read.
