I think one of my favorite things about Superman is how quick he is to throw himself into the front lines of any fight. That’s not to say he jumps into fights of course, but any time he’s with the league he’s so, so quick to volunteer to do any and all heavy lifting. In fact, he pretty much assumes that’s the case for any fight. He’s there to tackle the biggest guy on the field, because he can take it while his friends might not be able to. He’s the one watching their back and tanking the grunts while they stealth mission in or track down the head of the operation. It’s such an interesting concept to see this incredibly sweet, mild mannered guy being the one with the most brute strength of anyone.

And you know, that’s one of the reason he’s such an appealing pred to me. This guy, who’s so soft and tender with his friends and civilians, would sooner take the brunt of a literal asteroid himself than let it harm those he cares about (which is pretty much everyone tbh). He wouldn’t hesitate to use his body as a living safe house for anyone who needed it, because that’s just what he does. He protects people. Sometimes that means keeping them inside himself for a moment, but it’s always ALWAYS for their sake and never for his.
