Superman 4, Legion of Super-Heroes 0.

Even with work yesterday, this weekend has been fairly chill. I bought this comic the other day, and once again Superman's maiming some apparently helpless super-heroes from one thousand years into the future, mostly because they keep calling him Superboy:

..which is weird, considering the green-skinned blond is Brainiac 5, who has a twelfth level computer mind, but failed to notice Superman's age, stature, and musculature. And it probably doesn't help matters that Brainy is, in fact, the descendent of one of Superman's big foes.

I'm going to try and track down the follow-up comic that this one was continued in, where Superman beats up on...um...himself as a teenager. From a simulated parallel universe. Because he can.
