Now comes with fists for headlights!
I had a couple of these Corgi things when I was a kid — the “Supermobile” and the van. Both baffled me. First, I never understood why Superman, even if he was stuck under a red sun, would want something that had fists poking out of the front. Stick a laser there or something. Second, my young mind could never figure out what the van, despite the Superman indicia on its side, had to do with the Man of Steel. I think my grandmother told me (it was part of a small arsenal of toys at her place) that he was inside it, which led to long spells of me peering into its lilliputian windows for evidence of a red cape and blue tights. A vise may even have been used to cracked it open in a desperate bid for answers.
The Supermobile made an appearance in an actual comic (Action #481). It was revealed that it was made from Supermanium. I think that about sums everything up with the Supermobile, don’t you?

Well, if Wonder Woman’s invisible plane was made out of Amazonium, it stands to reason that the Supermobile would be made out of Supermanium. I guess they could have called it Kryptonium, but some wrier would probably confuse it with Kryptonite.
Point taken, but if the Invisible Plane had been made from WonderWomanium then that comparison would hold a bit better. I think “Kryptonium,” despite the (somewhat limited) potential for confusion, would be a better option, and might help prevent the Supermobile’s stupidity from collapsing in on itself like a black hole of lame.
Be nice or I’m telling Lois. In fact, I’m calling her right now on my alexandergrahambellium.
