Superhero Party
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Newlyweds Superman and Lois Lane host a get-together at home. The Flash arrives with his girlfriend Beverly, old friend Lana Lang drops by, and the Hulk turns up with his bandaged wife Cookie, who blames her injuries on their marriage bed. As Spider-Woman, Spider-Man, the Thing and an unseen Invisible Girl join the crowd, the guests tease Ant-Man about his underwhelming powers and gossip that the heroes have gone soft with no villains left to fight. Superman leaves to fetch ice and Clark Kent shows up in his place, and Lois confides that her husband bores her, that he was a virgin when they wed and that she once dated the Hulk. As she starts listing other heroes, Clark flees, and when he storms back the guests finally work out his secret just as he throws everyone out.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
I swear, first thing Monday morning, twin beds.
Have you ever noticed how you never see Clark and the Flash together at the same time?
Mainly I shrink myself down to the size of an ant while retaining my full human strength.
A little extra
