He looks a little appalled at the autograph thing. "God, I know exactly what you mean. I actually had someone disappointed that I know how to drive a tractor, because apparently that isn't Superman-ly of me."
"Actually, it's three," he says, very very reluctantly. "There's a television show, apparently." But he's in agreement on how annoying it is to constantly be compared to people who aren't really you. "Well, before when I've gone by that name, it's had kind of the whole... world-conquering alien overlord thing attached to it. Like if I called myself that, it meant I was being a true Kryptonian and not caring about humanity. But it's what Jor-El calls me, and so did the Disciples of Zod, and I just... should probably get used to hearing it. It doesn't mean I'm leaving my human name behind. Just accepting more of myself. It's a work in progress, kind of."
