Fake he lasers off his toe nails. You think any earth metal could cut Superman’s nails? Gafaw
I think there was a comic where kryptonite based grooming tools were shown.
Lolz I was just guessing and being a dork. I guess that’s interesting though.
No, 99% of the time, it’s laser vision. But kryptonite did show up once or twice.
probably a little blue kryptonite, the blue turns off his powers, the green one makes him sick.
We just don’t talk about the red one and it’s tingling effect.
I thought it was pink kryptonite that we don’t talk about.
I distinctly remember some rendition of Superman where they showed him “shaving” by reflecting his laser/heat vision off of a mirror.
You think he does this for his asshole hair?
The Pro had a funnier take on the same basic idea:
Both comic artists have some misapprehension about how solidly a plane’s wings are attached… maybe they’re Boeings.
Another thing is that if you get past the initial ka-pow! moment, the real issue would be how super are those swimmers? They might work like heat seeking missiles.
Trashy version
People who have aex are trash and should burn in hell

Alright, I’ll be the pedantic dick commenter and say: if Superman had toenail clippers capable of cutting through his nails, they wouldn’t shoot off at insane speeds. Either the material of the clippers would just be crushed in his grasp, or they’re made of some fantastical material that can withstand the forces needed and can cut them. There’s no scenario where the trimmings shoot off like this
Hmm. I wonder about hair.

Ah. It does seem to be problematic.

Harley seems to have a boner while doing that.
Well she is using a chainsaw. That always gets het riled up.
Those covers are great.
In the Silver Age, Superman’s hair and fingernails didn’t grow. (I’m not sure whether it was addressed in the Golden Age.) This implies that Superman has the exact same haircut that Jor-El and Lara gave him as a baby, which was also never addressed, as far as I know.
In Action Comics #300 from 1963, Superman ends up in the far future, when the sun has turned red, so he loses his powers. Losing his powers makes his hair and fingernails grow. As he figures out how to get back to his own time, he makes a point to cut his hair and fingernails before his powers come back, since otherwise, there would be no way to cut them afterward.
Later renditions are a completely different story, of course. Mostly, I’ve seen him use heat vision to cut his hair, with an occasional kryptonite-laced razor or scissors. I don’t remember any version showing him cut his nails, other than Action #300.
