I think "Larger" is the "Iggerbay Iggersay" story.

I’ve always liked this story. The innocent, trusting Superman hands naively turns over absolute power to Lois. Or was he naive or just unwilling to act on his suspicions. Was he afraid of her reaction if he had said no? Didn’t he know she secretly envied him his powers? His absolute superiority?

"Aw, Superman, what’s the matter? Don’t you trust me?"

"It’s not that, Lois. It’s just … well, it’s an awful lot of power to give ANYONE."

"Really, Superman. If you can’t trust me, who CAN you trust?"

Who indeed!

I mean, would any WOMAN not suspect her man of having an ulterior motive to look at the cube?

"Lois, may I have it? Just to see how it feels?"

"Are you kidding Superman? You think I’d fall for THAT one? When I give you the TV remote, do I EVER get it back? Or the computer mouse? I let you play with those little toys, but not with this baby."

And then there’s the ZAAP, ZAAP, ZAAP. The repeated charger of bigger, sexier, stronger, bustier, taller, beefier, BOOM, BOOM BOOM!

Love it, Ling.

Very nice. Now, if she asked for the "powers of Superman," does that mean she has gained powers equal to Superman’s or has taken his powers from him?

Naturally you know what I would have written!

Great work Jimmy. Thanks so much for carrying it all the way through.

I think the muscle growth game show idea is one that other FMG writers should play with too. It has all sorts of possibilities.

Stay in touch.

Thanks for writing and posting the story. I LOVE stories about alternative worlds, as y’all know.

Does the original Stephen King version have any female muscle aspects or are they just in this version?

I wish I could say it was, but I’ve been snowed under at work. I WILL write it, but it won’t come out soon.

I’m really sorry for leaving you hanging.

Mailbox is clean. Got it this morning, Jimmy.

Interesting story.

It would be a bit sacrilegious I know. But what if while doing the tango she stepped on God’s toes, hurt his feet and knocked him down? What if the ending had God saying that she was a lot bigger than he thought she was?

Not awesome but very cute.

And, the context:

"Appearing on NBC’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Katie Holmes talked about the new Batmobile in Batman Begins.

"I’m a very priveleged young girl," Holmes said. "At first I saw the Batmobile move and turn on the lights and everything before I got to ride in it.

"And just the sound of it and seeing it take off so fast, I was like, ‘Ohhhhh, I get it, why men watch NASCAR and obsess over cars.’"

Holmes said the Batmobile would always draw attention during shooting.

"It was awesome," Holmes said. "We shot parts of it in Chicago and people would be going down the river on their boats after having some cocktails and would go, ‘Is that the Batmobile?’"

In Batman Begins, Holmes plays Rachel Dodson, Bruce Wayne’s love interest."
