User blog comment:Dorkpool/Creepypasta Riffs: Lost Superman Episode/@comment-26011836-20150318135338

Though I will admit that this one of the better Lost Episode pastas, I have to be honest, I found this pasta to be rather... Meh. The riff on the pasta was great though! In terms of the Superman character, I would like to see a version of the Superman story where he discovers his powers but instead of knowing how to use them and control them right away, he starts out being rather unable to control his powers when he discovers them and he is shocked at this revelation. However, in keeping with his optimistic personality, he's determined to hone his powers and he gradually becomes more in control of them. The closest thing to the story I'm describing is a little cartoon called "Underdog". He's basically Superman as a cute cartoon canine but for the first few episodes of the show, he doesn't seem to know his own strength and ends up making things worse whenever he tries to help. For example, in the first episode of the show, Underdog tries to help a lady rescue her son whose been locked up in the vault if the 2 cents savings bank. First, he goes to the wrong bank mistakenly, rips the door off the vault, and the manager angrily informs Underdog that the 2 cents savings bank is on the other side of town. When Underdog goes to the two cents savings bank, he uses his x ray vision to see if the child is in the vault. When he does this, a fire breaks out and Underdog tries to put it out using his super breath. However, he ends up blowing the whole bank down. He eventually finds the child in the vault and the mother is reunited with her son. However, as the series progresses, he learns how to control his powers and ends up becoming a smarter hero in the process. Granted he is shown to be a bit clumsy at times despite his progression, but that's only at the end of certain episodes where the people say "It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a frog!" To which Underdog replies "Nor Bird nor plane nor even frog! Its just little old me---" and after he crashes into something he laughs sheepishly, he finishes with "Underdog!". I think the Man of Steel movie would've been a lot better if they went for the whole "Person learns to control powers and grow as a character" storyline.
