Everything the same just lousy teeth and bad food
 
2004-09-10 12:17:06 PM
He would make everybody call him "Sir Ben Superman".
 
2004-09-10 12:41:31 PM
Don't forget tea-time. He is a civilized super-hero.
 
2004-09-10 12:43:56 PM
Rusted teeth

Miracleman?
 
2004-09-10 01:08:06 PM
I can imagine that Lois Lane would work for the Sun.

The headlines for Superman would not be so kind.
 
2004-09-10 01:08:26 PM
He would have needed 'Super Braces'
 
2004-09-10 01:09:11 PM
Toothpaste would be his kryptonite?
 
2004-09-10 01:10:42 PM
In other news... who cares?

I'm a Superman, and I'm okay.


I save Lois Lane. I wear blue tights,
A red cape, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Papa !


 
2004-09-10 01:11:16 PM
He still would have had a nifty gentleman's gentleman named Alfred... eh, wait...
 
2004-09-10 01:11:31 PM
It's a bird!, it's a plain!, TALLYHOOOOO!
 
2004-09-10 01:11:44 PM
Could be interesting....
 
2004-09-10 01:12:14 PM
He would have flown on the other side of the sky?
 
2004-09-10 01:12:17 PM
He'd have grown up on Boiled Meat,"clotted cream", Scones, Bangers and Mash and Black Pudding....YECH!@!!!
/Barf...
 
2004-09-10 01:12:50 PM
He would have weighed 15 stone?

I remember an old Saturday night live routine that posed the question: What if Kal-El's space capsule had landed in Nazi Germany?

Raised to be "Uberman" and tipping the balance of power in favor of the Axis, he would eventually have been defeated by a Kryptonite Bomb developed by the Allies.

Good times...

He could have won the Battle Of Britain single-handed, but then England would still be looking for it's finest hour.
 
2004-09-10 01:13:53 PM
Cory Doctorow wrote a short story about a jewish Super-man. Pretty amusing collection of stories.
 
2004-09-10 01:14:50 PM
Only one of his four wives would be cleaning the Fortress.
 
2004-09-10 01:15:40 PM
Britannia would have ruled more than the waves.

Wasn't there a comic like this except he was a Communist?

Superman in Britain:

Clark "Tooch" Kent celebrated Islington's trounce of Manchester by drinking team under table - he's a mean drunk, by Jove!

When asked by YT what his favor-davor power is, he did not reply. He simply stared at the waitress' bums. I guess we'll never know.

/The Sun would've been there.

Just remember Superheros do not play soccer.
 
2004-09-10 01:17:13 PM
He would have crushed the spirit of that Indian Spiderman that was posted last month.

Lord Lexington Percy Wainbridge Smythe Luthorson.
 
2004-09-10 01:18:32 PM
He'd say: Sorry, Mr. Luthor, but I'm going to have to end your evil, (sorry), plan, please pardon me, thank you.
 
2004-09-10 01:19:27 PM
Albo: HA!
 
2004-09-10 01:19:32 PM
Didn't they already do this once? It was in a collection of stories of What If's like What If Superman had hit in midevil times and such.

I distinctly remember it because he quelled the American Revolution almost singlehandedly and brought all the signers of the Declaration of Independence to Britian (along with Independence Hall) to be hanged.
 
2004-09-10 01:21:38 PM
Oi! Is that and aeroplane? Is that a european or african swallow? No! It's the SUPERCHAP!
 
2004-09-10 01:21:54 PM
Super grammar school buggery!
 
2004-09-10 01:22:26 PM
"look, over there- it's...Bicycle Repairman!"
 
2004-09-10 01:22:37 PM
An argument can be made that Superman WAS Jewish - Seigel and Schuster (SP?) were, and the Kal-El / Jor-El stuff looks pretty Hebrew to me.
 
2004-09-10 01:23:15 PM
WTF is this?
 
2004-09-10 01:23:54 PM
Wow, it's a good thing he wasn't British, or Nazi, or communist. We would never have won WW2!

Best Superman Story Ever.

I've already read this comic.
 
2004-09-10 01:25:43 PM
with a super stomach for that super-gross English fare.
 
2004-09-10 01:26:19 PM


That's what it'd be like!!!

IT'S BICYCLE REPAIR MAN!!!
