So recently, I moved into my college dorm. I'm rooming with my cousin, it's a pretty sweet arrangement, anyways. If you've ever shared a dorm with someone, you'd know basically nothing is secret. Everything gets out eventually in such tight quarters, not to mention the whole family thing.

Basically, I learned that my cousin's girlfriend has been being harassed by her ex. Nothing criminal, but it obviously not a healthy breakup. The thing that gets my goat is the guy himself. He insists he's Clark Kent. Literally. He thinks he has superpowers. Insists he works for the Daily Planet.

Do any of the psych majors out there have any clue what this guy's problem is, clinically?

Might be some kind of disassociative identity disorder, but I'm not an expert.

Nevermind that though, more importantly, why did he out himself? Doesn't he realize the kind of threat General Zod will be now?

Hell if I know. I've only seen the guy once, and never shared a word with him.

Try to push him off a building, If he actually does think he is superman he will need no goading.

Me and my cousin contemplated trolling him my purchasing little plastic balls, spray painting them fluorescent green, and then pelting him with them. I think that works better. I don't like murder charges.

That's a bit extreme...maybe start with kryptonite...that's easy to get isn't it?

Actually, a guy I went to high school with used to think he was a vampire...it was a goth thing I think...I once chased him around the school with a pencil because he thought it would be like a stake...although I suppose it still would have hurt...

If you watch Superman three it shows you all but one of the ingredients.

Buy a sign that has Krypton in it and mail it to him.

I think if True Blood has taught us anything, its that these types of problems are best solved by binding them up with silver chains and pouring a couple of tons of wet cement on top of them.

Now if this guy thought he was Judge Dredd I could respect him a little more.

Speaking of which, the Dredd movie looks AWESOME.

How 'bout a magic trick? I'm going to make this pencil disappear.

Buy him the red cape and ask him to prove he can fly. Or, you could hold him down and shave off his famous hair curl. If it comes of, he ain't Superman. Everyone knows that curl is sacred in the DC universe.
