Superman Spoilers! This week's Action Comics #1068 sees Clark Kent on the stump as a hack with Jimmy Olsen, not following the big stories in Metropolis but the little ones. Rainbow Rowell and Cian Tormey have seen new Daily Planet Editor-In-Chief Lois Lane forbid her husband Clark Kent from covering Superman stories as a conflict of interest, something we've been wondering about for decades. With Jimy Olsen wondering what Clark Kent might have done to his wife in order to merit such a demotion in the Daily Planet pecking order.
Accidentally calling Lois Lane after his old Smallville girlfriend, Lana Lang? I mean that would explain it. But Clark Kent has even greater reason to be careful using Lana Lang's name. As we all know, the fifth-dimensional imp Mxyzptlk can be sent back to the fifth-dimensional by saying his name backwards. But what if Lana Lang was ever able to gain such powers? What would she have to be forced into saying to lose those powers?InAdventure Comics #306 in 1963, Superboy faced the imp who had cast a spell so that anyone who said their name backwards would be sent to the fifth dimension.And manages to trick Lana Lang into saying her name backwards as well…
"Gnala nal". Impressive use of an incorrect space between two words there, Myxy. No wonder Clark Kent has to be a lot more careful than even Jimmy Olsen thinks.
