At the end of Superman I, the megahero is so upset that Lois has died (or at least in very very ill!) that he wizzes around the earth and effectively ends up in the past. Whereupon he saves his true love from getting crushed to death in the earthquake. Now the question is, if Superman has gone back in time to save Lois what happens to all the other people who should have been saved by him (from the dam, the kiddies on the school bus etc)? My own guess is that the Superman that belongs in the past carries on saving these people while the Superman from the future concentrates on Lois. That means that at that time there are *two* Supermans in one timeframe. Can anyone confirm this or correct me if i'm wrong? Replies by MAIL please, I'll post a summary if required. cheers ...decwrl::rhea::thrint::pilgrim
