Has Clark in canon ever had a period where he was trying to figure out how to be a hero? I kind of find it surprising that
a). He never had a specific moment that gave him a reason to be Superman other than Pa Kent telling him that he needed to be a hero. You mean he just shrugged his shoulders and said ok? No period of soul searching or even resistance to the idea?
b) a period of training: You mean to tell me that Clark never had a training period where he was trying to figure out how the hero thing works? Supergirl had her mistake moments and growing pains. Bruce had his training period as did the Robins. He just puts on the cape and knows what to do automatically. Yeah right...
I love Superman, but no wonder some people think he's less complex than Batman.
