I believe this was from the period where Superman, having returned from the dead, was faced with the fact that a number of people were seeing the corpse of Superman, which caused them to think he must be another fake. He went a little nuts over it.

But it turned out to be an evil plot by an adversary.

I'm not sure who the woman in the panel is, but I don't think it's Lois.

He's not a wifebeater, infact he hates them. Just ask that one guy from Action comics #1.

You're right indeed. It was Brainiac behind that little plot, screwing with Superman's head a little along with everyone else in the city.

The woman is Maggie Sawyer, formerly in command of Metropolis' Special Crimes Unit. Superman looks as pissed as he does because moments earlier, Maggie and her squad had been attacking him with suits of Kryptonian Battle Armor. With Brainiac's help, Superman's aggressive instincts were all turned up to 11.

o, seems much more interesting, and kind of similar to taht one brainiac story where he steals supes body and is much more aggressive than usual

[Gaspard]

When did he have that kind of hair?

That was the deal Superman made with God to be allowed to come back to life. He had to wear that mullet for the next five years. It took being transformed into a being of pure energy to get rid of it.

I feel I have to reference this from Shortpacked

[Buried Alien]

The mullet look was already several years out of style by the time that DC decided to foist it on Superman.

He also drove around in a beat up TransAm that was piced to gether from four seperate cars and vaccume cleaner

[Paul Dee]

I don't know why but I genuinely thought that was a good look for him.

[TheTen-EyedMan]

All I can think of is Suzanne Vega.

Man, God really is a dick then.

If I may point out the obvious: That isn't Lois Lane, so no, he isn't a wifebeater.
