The first story I saw on the main page was "The Metropolitan Man".
I thought "OK, I'll give it 10 minutes, see how far it can get".
After 1,5 minute the story displayed a total lack of understanding of middle-school level physics.
Superman prevented an accident by flying into the space between two cars and stopping them with his hands. However, a deceleration on the distance equal to the length of one human arm, is no less lethal than over the (approximately equal) length of the average crumple zone.
I mean, I don't want to poop on the party, but seriously?
Superman does that kind of nonsense in the comic books all the time...
