I thought the character of Resplendent Man was very funny. My favorite moment involving him was when he punches Gretchen at the end after Superman hesitates. I also enjoyed seeing Superman have to deal with someone having his abilities who didn’t share the same code as he did. It really makes you appreciate who Superman is as a character more. Not just anyone with the same powers would be as great as Clark was, and many would be much worse than Resplendent Man was.
I also enjoyed Lois’ realization that Superman wasn’t completely being truthful with her as well as her ultimate realization that it would be a bad thing if everybody knew how Superman’s powers could be transferred. It was nice to see how she dealt with the ethics involved with how much people deserved to know about Superman.
