In Superman 125 , the Man of Steel gained the ability to deploy a tiny version of himself. While the 'Super-Imp' was just as heroic as Kal-El, he quickly grew jealous of its success, showing that Superman secretly craves the public's adoration.
While Superman has become known as a pillar for truth, justice, and the American Way in DC Comics, his weirdest ability proves he’s not as pure as he pretends to be. Superman has a medley of out-of-this-world powers including flight, heat vision, and super strength, but one ability stands above the rest as being truly peculiar, one that perhaps exposes his true, more self-involved nature.
In the short story “Superman’s New Power” in Superman #125 by Jerry Coleman, Stan Kaye, Al Plastino, and Kurt Schaffenberger, the Man of Steel is investigating an ancient spaceship buried deep under Metropolis’ surface. When he touches the noticeably tiny spacecraft, the ship explodes, though the impact leaves Superman relatively unharmed.
With the evidence presented in this issue, it makes sense that Superman loves the attention of the public, especially when taking a look at the profession of his alter-ego. Clark Kent is a reporter for the Daily Planet, and a lot of his articles throughout the years have been about the heroics of Superman. He literally writes puff pieces about himself, making himself famous and stroking his own ego.
Superman reveals that one of the driving factors as to why he is a hero is the attention he gets from those heroics, something that has always been obvious but was highlighted when the Super-Imp came into the picture. Once the attention he evidently loved went away in favor of a miniature version of himself, Superman became jealous and pouty instead of focusing on all the good Super-Imp was doing while he was out of commission, proving that he isn’t as pure as he pretends.
