I have to say that I cringed at the super-mullet.
Me, too. That was simply awful.
Back then mild mannered Clark even had an argument with Mr. Stern about his appearance:
But cut him some slack: Lois had broken off their engagement and left the country; he was filling in as Editor while Perry recovered from chemoterapy; he had no time to be Superman... Poor guy was going crazy.
At least the "super-mullet phase" had good stories. <sigh>
