First cousins can marry in most places.

I saw the movie and do not recall that scene.

The opening scene. The girl in the trailer, either before or right after the opening credits.

She could have had here ears pierced before coming to earth. Ms Hook’s grandfather pierced her’s when she was 5.

I checked the scenes on Krypton (and her early days on Earth) with the younger actress. Her long hair makes it difficult to verify if she has pierced ears or not.

Dang! This is the sort of thing which makes cutting edge research so difficult.

But thinking about it a bit I remember that different colors of kryptonite have different properties. So possibly specially made ribbed kryptonite might enhance her pleasure.

There’s also the fact that once a Kryptonian has recovered from exposure to a specific specimen of kryptonite, he/she receives immunity to that chunk.

I saw that in a Superboy comic book I read at my cousin’s house when I was a kid.

That’s for the red ones, which have a weird effect. (Superman now has the head of a bug for 24 hours! Superman has been turned into a giant for 24 hours! Superman has amnesia for 24 hours!) And then there’s gold kryptonite, which causes a permanent loss of all powers. And et cetera. But the same piece of _Green_ K can, IIRC, affect Superman repeatedly: always weakening him, and slowly killing him.

Okay! Now we’re talking solid research.  
But wait, SM’s been exposed to green kryptonite many times and it kicks his butt every time. This seems to suggest that if SG’s dildo is made of some non green kryptonite she’s good to go (assuming a previous non lethal exposure).

Nope, I distinctly recall him being so weakened by the ordeal that Pa Kent was even able to take Clark to the Smallville Tonsorial Emporium for a haircut.

It wasn’t until the end of the story that we found what they were up to.

I think I laughed out loud at the Jackhammer, then found the mental picture strangely arousing :o

Captain Marvel (Or Shazam as he’s now known) would have the stuff to do the job, super strength and invulnerability without even being kryptonian, but not sure how that would work with his alter ego (Billy Batson) being a 12 year old boy.

Oral sex isn’t the only alternative; there’s good old-fashioned tribadism. (One variant is called “scissoring.”)

Yeah but I don’t think she’d actually boned many.

Anyone know what the age of consent was on Krypton?😃

She could hook up with Captain Marvel or Orion. As she’s active in the Legion, with Mon-El and Ultra-Boy. I’m sure she can work this out.

Should Ultra Boy choose Super Strength, or Invulnerability?
