A few years before his watershed series Watchmen, Moore took an obscure, omnipotent hero and placed him in the real world
When comics writer Alan Moore was an 11-year-old boy living in Northampton, England, he managed to get hold of Mad in Ballantine Books' ubiquitous mass-market reprints.
This includes Harvey Kurtzman and Wally Wood's Superman parody strip, “Supderuperman!”

When Superduperman's alter ego, Clark Bent, tries to woo his colleague Lois Payne, he is coldly rejected.
