"[... T]en million kryptonian sperm arrive slightly late[r at the now-fertilized human egg]. Were they human sperm, they would be out of luck. But these tiny blind things are more powerful than a locomotive. A thickened cell wall won't stop them. They will all enter the egg, obliterating it entirely in an orgy of microscopic gang rape. So much for artificial insemination." --- Larry Niven's dryly-humorous essay on the (unfortunate) implications of human-superhuman, and specifically human-kryptonian, intercourse of the intimate variety. Originally published in 1978, illustrated for Penthouse by DC's own Curt Swan in 1995. Quality: Meh.
