Superman problem

Similar to a dues ex machina and power creep, it's a contrivance that gets seen a lot in anime and superhero media where you have a super ridiculously overpowered character who can pretty much destroy hordes of baddies and/or the main antagonist in one go if it came down to it, with nothing that can really put said character in any danger. Therefor it doesn't give other supporting characters much of a chance to shine and overcome any obstacles they personally face since it's done on easy mode just for having this overpowered character with them. Typically creates a lot of plot holes and make any stakes meaningless in the story if handled poorly.

How to solve a Superman problem? Write the character out for some reason in any given situation, or go complete DBZ and keep introducing a baddie who happens to be more powerful than the last baddie before him.

superman effect

When youre unrecognizable without your glasses- undetermined facial features undetermined and ultimately 'unknown' only because you don't have your glasses on.

;Clark Kent was unrecognizable UNLESS he took his glasses off, only then did everyone know he was superman.

"My laptop's face id can't recognize me unless I take off my glasses..its like the superman effect".

superman 64

1) Verb; "To Superman 64 someone" Specifically when a woman you are with is not giving you sexual fulfillment so, while she sleeps, you resort to trapping her in an alternate fog filled dimension where she will be forced to navigate flying rings in time trials for the rest of eternity.
Alternately: While the said woman sleeps you develop one of the worlds most notoriously terrible video games on her back. The shame will never go away. The only thing worse is to "ET" her.

"watch me crank dat soulja boy den supaman 64 dat ho"
translation: "Watch me as I screw in this last capacitor so I might superman 64 that woman of weak moral fiber, ol' chap."
