the name 'Superman' is a misnomer

[Conchaga]

He may be super. That part is true. However, he's not a man. He is male, yes. But, to be a man, you must be a member of our species. He's kryptonian. He's not human. So, I think the name 'Superman' is a total farce. He should be renamed 'The incredible non-human male alien'.

These are the types of thoughts that made teachers separate me from the rest of the class.

Super = Above, Beyond, Superior

Therefore Superman is superior to man, superior to our species, etc...

Class dismissed.

He didnt pick that name, Lois did, and she probably knows better than anyone if he is a man or not, wether he is super or not, and wether he truely is faster than a speeding bullit.

The name was originally chosen from Neitzsche's Ubermensch from Thus Spake Zarathustra which is translated as the 'Overman' or 'Superman'.

That was actually the sort of lines their "evil" Superman was going to go on. Of course Superman ended up being a goody but the name stuck.
