Chicago Teachers Union boss Karen Lewis might be cagey about plans to run for mayor, but she has a lot to say on a debate that divides many a comic book geek.
Lewis took to Twitter on Wednesday night to chime in on a question posed by Our Man in Chicago blogger Scott Smith, who tweeted: "I'm tired. Can we talk about something dumb for a little while? Half an hour? Superman vs Hulk - who wins? Superman obviously. COME AT ME!"
Seemingly out of nowhere, Lewis replied with one word: "Hulk."
Then she kept going.
@ourmaninchicago Hulk has anger management issues. Superman has abandonment issues. Hulk has guilt and remorse. SM thinks he's all that. — Karen Lewis (@KarenLewisCTU) July 10, 2014
@ourmaninchicago I don't believe in binaries. It's almost never either/or. Always deeper issues that must be interrogated. Most don't. Lazy — Karen Lewis (@KarenLewisCTU) July 10, 2014

@1001chicago @ourmaninchicago Superman is a tool of the ruling class. — Karen Lewis (@KarenLewisCTU) July 10, 2014
@ourmaninchicago Next debate: Star Trek v Star Wars. — Karen Lewis (@KarenLewisCTU) July 10, 2014
Should Lewis decide to enter the mayoral race against archnemesis Rahm Emanuel, then at least one of their debate topics should include Superman-vs-Hulk for the entertainment value alone.
Although, given his famously explosive temper, Emanuel might side with Lewis and embrace Bruce Banner's alter ego over Clark Kent's caped crusader.
Your turn: Superman or the Hulk?
