^ yeah loke I don’t know much of anything about Superman but I think Kirby could win in a fight but then it’s turn out to be a misunderstanding and they’d become friends
I DO however onow a fuckton about Kirby and he rarely picks fights and also generally either makes friends with his aggressor in the end or else totally wipes them off the map, with very little in between. So like. You’d better hope you make friends with him, Supes
I feel like a lot of Silver Age stuff just occasionally has weird ethical lines, despite trying for clear morality. (I'm a Marvel reader, though, not a DC one; I mostly know Silver Age Supes from people clipping the weirdest bits.)
I mean there's also the whole Superdickery phenomenon, where Superman acts like a raging asshole just for shock value to sell comics where the entire point of reading them is "What, why is Superman acting like this?"
kirby would beat his butt but then they'd find out the real problem and destroy it together
