In order to stimulate the A-Plots of our stories, how about we start a suggestive list of types of things Superman can do to "save the day"?

Although, he won't stop doing these things, my Clark would like to branch out to other kinds of rescues besides:

Okay, that should get us started.

I realize that with my sub-headings under some of these numbers we might not ever get to 100, let alone 25, but I thought we'd start out general and work towards specific. So, feel free to put a unique (or specific) rescue and /or crime idea, which you yourself don't want to use, under its own number.

Please, try not to list specific (unique) crimes / rescues that you've read about in someone else's fanfic (general ideas okay, though). Thank you.
