Frankly, the old Supes could probably kick new's butt, and give Goku (Super
Sayajin level 1) a run for his money.

	And if he ran into a prob, the old (pre-crisis) Supe could 
probably use some silly techno-gadget to save him.  Or call on KRYPTO, 
his SUPER-DOGGIE!  Gee, it was a silly comic back then...
 

Also, In "Mallrats", a Kevin Smith movie, Brodie says that Superman's 
super anatomy would cause him to "shoot a load" right through Lois.  
Vulger as it may be, he did raise a point.  Did you ever notice that as 
soon as Superman got married, his powers seemed to dissappear?  And with 
his new powers, he changes into a normal human.  Said problem is solved. 
 Convienient, eh?

	Actually, for the ultimate take on Superman and Lois, er, having 
a child (and all it entails), read the little 'essay' Larry Nivens did on 
it (haven't seen Mallrats, yet, but I suspect he stole it from there).  
End result: since sex would likely tear Lois apart, and the 'super-sperm' 
would probably cause city-wide damage, and the super-baby (this was 
pre-crisis) could kick right through the womb, the only solution was for 
Supes to fetilize an egg in a test-tube, and actually carry the baby 
himself (supposedly there's enough room in a male if ya displace a few 
organs... I dunno...)
	Errr... off topic, I guess.  Neat piece of sci-fi, though!
