"My love for you is the strongest thing there is."
  • Superman and Lois letting each other know how much they love each other before Superman goes off to Warworld.
  • As mentioned under Due to the Dead, Superman tries to always say a few words of mourning over any deceased he finds, whether he had a close relationship with them or not. When he can't do that for someone who has died in space, he makes sure to close their eyelids at least.
  • Through his commitment to his moral code, Superman is able to win over the Phaelosian siblings Ortho and Osul, who initially reject him in favor of adhering to the Warzoon way, to adopting his mantra of "Truth and Justice"
  • In the 2022 Action Comics Annual, a former childhood bully of Clark's has grown into becoming a mentor at a Metropolis Youth Opportunity Center. One of his last interactions with the Kents in Smallville was shaving his head in apology to Martha Kent for knocking her wig off, exposing her hair loss thanks to chemo treatments for her cancer.
  • Superman crafts Kryptonian toys so the Phaelosian children have something to play with that connects them to their culture, just as he did for Jon.
  • Otho-Ra and Osul-Ra want to go back with Superman to Earth. Superman gently tells them they'll be welcome anywhere, and let's them know they can keep wearing the El crest for as long as they want.
  • First thing Superman does once he gets back to Earth? Pick up where he left off with Lois by making out with her in the sky.
  • Bibbo is able to connect with Osul and Otho, helping uplift the two newcomers' spirits. After a childhood on Warworld the twins struggle to enjoy anything not related to violence, but Bibbo is able to perk them up with an offer of ice cream.
  • The Kal-El Returns one-shot is filled with these, with Superman reuniting with Batman, Jimmy, his family and a few members of the Justice League.
  • Glen was a criminal who Superman put away. After Glen serves his sentence, Superman gets him a job at Steelworks and checks up on him to see how he's doing.
