Applied Phlebotinum: Kryptonian crystals, which can be used to copy memories from one person and implant them into another person’s mind. When Lisa Jennings finds one, she receives Superman’s feelings of self-doubt and confusion. | |

Mythology Gag: The scene where Superman attempts to talk a woman out of committing suicide Superman #701 is similar to the famous suicidal teenager scene in All-Star Superman. The question "Must there be a Superman?" was originally posed in Superman #207, in 1972, in the story "Must There Be a Superman?" | |

He also notes people react with fear and suspicion whenever he visits their homes. In the finale, Jennings reveals she has been tampering with his sight and hearing so he could perceive people's negative comments, when in reality, they have been expressing love and admiration towards the Man of Steel. | |

These include Supercilia, a single-celled hero who fights against microscopic biological threats beneath the notice of humans; Superstar, a sentient solar system too large to even fit in the Squad's Fortress of Solidarity; and Superego, a sentient "good idea" that patrols the non-physical realms of consciousness. | |

Author Tract: Superman quotes from Henry Thoreau. Thoreau spent one night in jail as the result of some outspoken, risky opinions. What are Superman's great controversial moral stands in Straczynski’s run? Well, he’s not fond of drug dealers, he’s against illegal immigration unless America gets something out of it, he’s for sweetheart government deals for corporations to jumpstart the economy, and he thinks child abuse is bad. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Superman: Grounded (Comic Book) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: One of the best remembered scenes of the arc is when Superman is walking through Philadelphia and goes to help a woman named Felicity Rose, who had lost everything, her mother, her aspirations, and hope for life itself after being stuck in a dead-end job, threatening to jump off the roof of a skyscraper in the process. She angrily screams at Superman to not bring her down by force, since she knows that he's more than capable of doing so. Instead, he stays with her for the rest of the day and well into the night, attempting to console her as best he can, explaining that he too once had a friend who was driven to suicide because she could not imagine one more happy day in her life due to her terminal illness. He then says if she truly believed that she would never have a single happy day in her life again, she could step out into the open air and he would not stop her. But if she believed that there was even the slightest chance she could have just one more happy day in her life, he would take her into his arms and bring her down safely. She chooses the latter. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass: Dick Grayson, of all people, has taken one when he becomes the new Batman after Bruce Wayne’s was lost in time. He tells Superman he shouldn’t become close to the people he protects, otherwise he risks making them targets for his enemies. Remember, this is the same Dick Grayson who is known for being nicer and more socially-adept than Bruce. Ironically, when Clark meets Bruce again, Bruce is actually supportive of his friend and expresses faith Superman will be the hero he once was. | |

However, he confesses to Lois he was tempted to tear the man apart with his bare hands; and he later makes sure to threaten the man (who will be charged for his abuse and will receive a restraining order) with consequences if he ever comes near his son and wife again. | |

It's All About Me: The woman that slaps Superman in the beginning of Grounded is upset that Superman did not save her husband. Thing is, her husband died of a brain aneurysm, not in the Earth-New Krypton war. She claims Superman could have saved him but Superman was away on New Krypton, attempting to prevent war from breaking out in the first place. If anything, she comes across as selfish and entitled in the middle of an interplanetary tragedy. | |

Child Abuse Is a Special Kind of Evil | |
| Superman: Grounded (Comic Book) / int_d2918710 | comment |
Child Abuse Is a Special Kind of Evil: A kid named William is undergoing a harsh life because of his father being a vicious domestic abuser who takes out his aggression on his wife and son for the most disproportionate of reasons. William hopes to use a handmade Superman flag to get the Man of Steel's attention, later following him screaming Superman's name at the top of his lungs when the latest abuse sees Vincent throwing his son into the basement. Superman does arrive, incredibly furious at Vincent for his actions before handing him over to the authorities and ensuring William and his mother that they'll be safe and he'll be in contact. During a conversation with Lois Lane, Superman admits that Vincent's actions were so deplorable that he contemplated ripping the man apart with his bare hands, only holding back to not compromise his forgiving and compassionate nature and because using violence against a domestic abuser wouldn't turn out favorable on Supes' part. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Lois is not happy when Superman forces her not to publish a story that would reveal the illegal activities of a group of workers who have been polluting their local environment to keep their factory running. Superman and Lois only make up in the end. | |

Hate Sink: Vincent is a real piece of work, considering he's an Abusive Parent and a Domestic Abuser all rolled into one. Simply put, there's nothing likable about the guy, and the fact that he slaps his wife over making his coffee taste bad and then slaps his son William and throws him into a basement when he dares to intervene in an effort to stop his father from hurting his mother. Fortunately, Superman shows up in time to send Vincent to the authorities to be arrested and handed a restraining order. | |
