Superman develop jealous ofhis mini - me , advert to him as Super - Imp . This attention invidia Superman exhibit implies that he really bask being praise for all of his good deeds rather than just being satisfied with the fact that he , in whatever form that is , is helping people all over the earth . People are being lay aside either agency , whether it ’s by Superman or his Super - Imp , but Kal - El is n’t well-chosen that he is no longer getting the recognition .

With the evidence award in this issue , it makes sense that Superman loves the attention of the public , especially when take a look at the profession of his alter - ego .
