Yet that ’s not even the master draw of this new ( and hunky ) Superman , who conduct his own title : Absolute Supermanby Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval . His family and childhood in Kansas have never been the real issue for me . rather , it ’s his boring , forgettable appearance . But all changes in the Absolute Universe .

Superman Is the Face of the Past
Once the Standard for Attractiveness — Almost a Century Ago
For too long , Superman ’s cheek was the facial expression of America . In the 1940s , clean - shave , well - keep hair with no tattoos may have been the masculine norm , but it ’s been nearly a century since then . I surely do n’t look like that , and I ’ve been waiting for Superman to take in up . While he disport a grey mullet in the ' 90s , he cursorily cut his hair to return to the everyday symbolization Americans expect . No wonder I do n’t quite resonate with Superman , asbeing the standard of attractiveness in 2024 does n’t imply the same thing as in 1938 , andthe creators of the Absolute Universeare finally rectifying this mistake .
It ’s about time Superman conformed to the modern definition of masculine attraction instead of staying rout in a dead past times .
sweetheart criterion have vastly shifted many clip , and now " hotness " lands in more rugged territory . Emotionally damaged heroes work through their issues are some of the characters comic - lover like me crave over . Even Batman has gotten decidedly hotter over the age , while Superman has remained stagnant . This new Absolute Supermandoesn’t just look like he ’s finally grown up , but like he ’s lose that innocence that gave him that white - bread blandness that never appealed to me . It ’s about timeSuperman conformed to the innovative definition of masculine attractivenessinstead of staying settle in a dead past .
Absolute Superman’s “S” Now Stands for Sex Symbol
From Boy Scout to… Daddy?!
It ’s not just the stubble and the long hair ; it ’s the anguished tone in his eyes that resonates with my demand for comic modernness . Do - gooder Superman being happy and bright all the time , in my opinion , just is n’t interesting to me and gives his story nowhere to go . But an unkempt , loom hero with hair falling in his centre is the very stuff that fan - fabrication is made of . With a magical transformation like that , I think I ’ve discover thatSuperman is n’t the only one with a weakness to magic .
It ’s odd enough that Superman is n’t a sex symbolic representation already . He already carry the masculine ideal of morals and fierce protective cover that society deems attractive . He has all the pieces that could allow him to become the crown of horniness , and it seems all that was missing was for him to permit down his pilus . The " ma’am " and " sir " of the quondam world Superman are hold out — get ready for a thirst - trapSuperman .
