"He will be alone.
He will be like them, but he will not be one of them.
He will be among them, but he will not be of them."

Clark Kent: "not listening, not listening, not listening."

Dad: "All I'm saying, son, is..man of steel...woman of tissue paper."

The second volume of Straczynski's new Superman continues his origin story with flashbacks as Superman faces his first foe that he doesn't immediately thwart.

I'm trying.

1. "There was once upon a time a piece of wood. But it was *special wood*."
2. "Pinocchio was a lazy, two-bit hood."
3. "I thought he got turned into a real boy at the end..." "Nah, that's just a silly fairy tale!"
4. "We'd prefer to be gentler, if only you weren't so obstreperous." "So obstrep... err... uh... what he said."
