I won't even pretend that I was going to resist this story .... I have a long 'previous' on Superhero stories.
So here we are with the tale of not one, but two Superman's .... but Brainiacs they are not.
Now as they had no car insurance (an offence in the UK), you might think that they would try to be inconspicuous but no, they decided to take the rear window out of their car, and replace it with a red cape as they cruised the M42 motorway. Needless to say, it wasn't long before the forces of steel, aka the West Midlands police force made them pull over and arrested them.
With social media being what it is, once the traffic police tweeted the picture above, with the commentary 'We don't work for Lex Luthor but we had to remove Superman's wheels from the road', it prompted comment from across the world.
One was from the Oklahoma Sheriffs Department in the US who tweeted back 'Nice work! Not even Superman has a chance against police Kryptonite' .... this elicited a response from the UK traffic police who promised that 'We'll send Superman back to you'
