What is the plural of Superman? "Supermen" or "Supermans" ? "Supermen" sounds much better, but that's not how we form the plural of a proper name. And it must be a proper name and not a title (like "boss") because it's capitalized. -Jack Applin Victim of Gold Kryptonite

Back in the Forties, National (now DC) had a fan club called the Supermen of America. I seem to recall reading about this when DC reprinted one of the old issues a few years ago (Superman #1, I suppose). Mike Ciaraldi sesimo!rochester!ciaraldi
