I think it's just surprising because when we imagine Superman, we think of a buff, sociable man, not a fat, bullied child.

How I view this thread: Some fat kid who got bullied grew up to be mother fucking Superman. Whose laughing now?

Many people are bullied in school, so that doesn't matter to me too much.
