8 Things You Didn't Know Your Microwave Could Do
Imagine Lois Lane's surprise when she finally learns that the nerdy, predictable and buttoned- down Clark Kent is in fact the super-strong, faster than a speeding bullet, hunky Superman. The man she had grown accustomed to was, in fact, not who she thought he was. She learned that he was capable of so much more, things no one else could do!
