Superman # 125 (Source Comicvine.com)

3. Rainbow Hands Superman

This isn’t even a thing that happened in a Superman comic; it’s a thing that happened ON THE COVER of a Superman comic. We’ll address the content of the story later on, but the cover is strange enough to warrant its own entry on this list. The cover, above, features Superman SHOOTING RAINBOWS OUT OF HIS HANDS.

People mock the Silver Age of comics all the time for being “goofy” or “dumb”, but it is home to some of the most fun and charming comics and images you’re ever going to find.  I mean come on. Look at that. That is a picture of Superman. Shooting rainbows. From his HANDS. If you can look at that and not have a smile start to slowly spread across your face, then you are dead inside, sir or madam. That image isn’t just the peak of DC Comics as a whole, it’s the peak of human creativity.
