Superduperman
"Superduperman" is a satirical story by Harvey Kurtzman and Wally Wood that was published in the fourth issue of ''Mad'' (April–May 1953). Lampooning both ''Superman'' and ''Captain Marvel'', it revolutionized the types of stories seen in ''Mad'', leading to greatly improved sales. Writers such as Alan Moore have cited this story as an influence.
==Characters and story==
The plot parallels the ''Superman'' scenario of the period: "Clark Bent" is a lowly assistant to the copy boy at ''The Daily Dirt'' newspaper, where he tries, unsuccessfully, to woo the narcissistic and indifferent "Lois Pain." Meanwhile, an 'unknown monster' is stalking the streets of the city. Bent changes into Superduperman to help save the day, but "boy reporter Billy Spafon" reveals himself to be the monster, "Captain Marbles." Superduperman is unable to harm Captain Marbles until he provokes Marbles into punching himself in the head. Hoping this victory will be enough to sway Pain, he reveals his alter ego, only to be rejected again; the story closes with Pain's putdown: "Once a creep, always a creep."
Kurtzman's script subverts the admirable image of the superhero. Clark Bent uses his X-ray vision to peer into the women's bathroom, and Captain Marbles has abandoned good deeds for the pursuit of money. The conflict between the two characters also parodies the National Comics Publications v. Fawcett Publications trial.〔Geissman, Grant, "When Better Drawrings Are Drawrn", (page 115 ).
