Oh. I thought you were criticizing Supes' using his powers for something frivolous, not the way he made tea.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Art Crawl!!!
One must wonder why Supes can't get a decent teapot to the Fortress of Solitude, I'm sure if he asked Alfred would be happy to give him some tea prep advice. Has Alfred ever been to the Fortress of Solitude?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Huh. I nuke my tea all the time. Call me a phillistine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
DX, you're not only a philistine, you're a barbarian.

It doesn't seem to make much difference to the tea.
Also, would a barbarian drink Earl Grey?

I've been told by purists, quite decidedly yes, and then they'd put milk in it.

I'd never put milk in it, so there.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I actually like milk in my non-exotic black teas.
And sugar.
So there.
(I appreciate the taste of really nice tea, but there's a comfort thing going on with sweet, milky tea that I can't shake.)
