My first thought, after reading the final line, was that our world would not be able to handle a super-powered schizophrenic. How will Superman's son be treated? Could any standard treatment help him? Will he need to be isolated form the population? Can anyone besides his father control him if he becomes delusional or even violent?
I would tend to agree that the world would have difficulty handling a super-powered schizophrenic. I’d think most medications would be useless - maybe injections might work. There very well could be times when he would have to be isolated. But even his father might have difficulty controlling him if he was delusional or violent. It is very difficult for one person to control a violent schizophrenic, so how would Clark handle someone that had at least part of the strength that he had?
Schizophrenics sometimes tend to have enhanced senses, so would that mean his sense of hearing might be even more acute than Clark’s?
I think what matters is not the irreverence, but the intent. Although I understand what you say about possibly being misunderstood. =)
Yes, I agree.
