I much have been thinking Gold not yellow. Its only been 45 years since I've
read a superman comic book. Usually at summer camp. They were not allowed in
the house. Nor Mad Magazine.

But they had all different colors and they did all different things. Which
were so extreme as to be pretty comical. Like one color made you go back in
time. Another into the future. Another into the Bizarro dimension, where all
bets were off.
