\n\tRambling usually ignores it when Dean Cain<\/a> posts one of his tirades against liberal Hollywood. We held our tongue when the Lois & Clark star turned honorary ICE agent went after Disney\u2019s multicultural Snow White remake. We kept our lips zipped when he took a shot at James Gunn\u2019s \u201cpro-immigrant\u201d Superman. But now, with his dig at Milly Alcock\u2019s Supergirl<\/a> \u2014 sharing posts about how her portrayal violates Kryptonian physics because her bulletproof ears are pierced \u2014 we can stay quiet no longer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBecause the 59-year-old MAGA actor has stumbled into a debate that\u2019s been vexing DC fans for more than six decades. Never mind Supergirl\u2019s ear piercings: How did her cousin shave his presumably indestructible beard?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAn early attempt at resolving this grooming conundrum came in 1960\u2019s Action Comics No.\u202f262, which suggested that under Earth\u2019s yellow sun, Superman\u2019s hair didn\u2019t grow. But five months later, in Superman No. 139, Kal-El asks Supergirl and Krypto to burn off his whiskers with their heat vision. A quarter-century later, legendary DC writer-artist John Byrne tried to settle the argument in his 1986 series The\u202fMan of Steel, coming down hard on the side of heat vision, this time reflected off a hunk of metal from the rocket Superman flew to Earth in as a baby.<\/p>\n

\n\tCase closed \u2014 until Henry Cavill showed up bearded in the 2013 Man of Steel movie, and Gillette launched a \u201cHow Does Superman Shave?\u201d campaign. Experts weighed in \u2014 like MythBusters\u2019 Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, who suggested that Superman used the Large Hadron Collider to generate tiny wormholes that sucked the stubble from his face.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe latest theory comes from Gunn himself, who answered Cain\u2019s question about Supergirl\u2019s piercings with the simple sentence: \u201cShe goes to a planet with a red sun,\u201d noting that it\u2019s the same way Supergirl gets drunk \u2014 and, presumably, the same way Superman could get a shave.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf course, there is one other explanation for Kara\u2019s earrings: clip-ons.<\/p>\n
