    Now that Superman claimed me as a dependent on his taxes, the government took away my HSA and I’ve gone headlong into CRIPPLING MEDICAL DEBT!

    Thanks Superman!

      I’m a mod so I’m allowed to break the rules, but I promise to ban myself if I do it again.

      Exactly. Clearly he has 2 billion kids - that’s why the world population is so high today and they call that generation the “Baby Boomers”.

      Turns out their kryptonite was lead tho.

    Wait, why does Superman have income? Has he been charging the people for his services this whole time?

      Maybe there’s a shell company that Clark Kent makes payments to, and then Superman bills it for nonexistent super-services so that he can have some spending money while in costume.

        But the minimum taxable income is $13K, so the only reason to run this scam would be if Superman was spending more than thirteen grand in costume, and that would raise so many more questions!

          Like where does he put the money when in costume? He clearly doesn’t have pockets and I’ve never seen Superman carrying a bag of any sort.

          Yeah, from back when they did the click bait comics.

          He was saving up a million dollars to put in a safe he made of stone that was a trap.

          He then returned all the money back.

    So, just the bog-standard argument justifying the existence of wealth-hoarding capitalists, then?

    What income do they think he has, taxable or not? Does the IRS know about his secret identity, but they’re just cool and keep it to themselves?
