This Superman is in trouble. He can't hide. So he will be discovered quickly. In the most general sense the government can't really "stop" this Superman, but they sure could make any 'normal life' he wants to have very bad.

Well, luckily Superman has a lot of nearly endless but helpful powers. Like the Kiss of Forgetfulness or the even more vague "mental powers". Plus Superman has science/technology like a billion years more advanced then 21st century Earth. With all that, you could stay secret no problem...

Pure role playing. I'm not much of a fan of any rules for most social stuff. I've had plenty of it in my games. A great one was my Bored Princess game. Bunch of moms with princess characters. With bubbling kings and princes getting their kingdoms in trouble, and the princess swooping in to...

The bone needle is cold to the touch, much colder then normal, but not enough to hurt. Half way down the hall, near the corner, your mother watches over her shoulder for a moment. Then walks away.

Inside the drawer is a single bone needle. When the light from the lantern touches the bone needle it glows. The bone needle is well made, strong and sharp. It is smooth with no marking on it.

There is no one in the room to answer your call. When your lantern light sheds on the desk by the window, a weak white light comes from inside one of the small drawers.

You can do the Ye Old Loki Thing: Hide and then move the image over to be next to a cliff or trap. Then have dumb foes fall for it. If your hidden, you can move it around and distract foes.....even better if you make the illusion 'look for something". It can provide that "look there he is"...

The sewing room is next to the master bed room, where your father is resting. The room has large windows, with two layers of wooden shutters, that open both inside and out side. The room is well lit, though cozy, as the torches that light the room are small. Bolts of fabric of all colors take...

In a lot of cases the group will be more then just the PCs, so such a player can take control of an NPC, animal companion, familiar, mount, or other such thing. Some times, I will have a player take control of a bad guy, for or monster. For more fun, have the PC stick around as a ghost or...

The BECMI rules or the The D&D Rules Cyclopedia might be the best.

Trinda Oldgate "I'm sorry I do not. I took her words to heart. I stopped looking, and have never looked back. I understood the need to keep you secret and safe. To give you time to grow up. As the years past, I kept it out of my mind, but never forgotten." She nods when you suggest...

Trinda Oldgate "Here, the the castle. Just outside the nursery. The now sewing room on the second floor next to the master bed room. Early in the morning, before sun up. It was dark, I only had a hand candle. I took her words to heart, and never even thought about where you came from again...

Trinda Oldgate, your mother, stops by to see you, "I wanted to wish you good journey. And more, offer a word of warning. You know well the story of how you came to this family. But there is a story that has not been spoken, and one I shall never speak of again. When you were still a babe, I...

Wilhird Oldgate nods "Four generations is right. I'll be glad to get rid of the dwarf...one less problem. Maybe you could take care of that dragon too....haha. But I jest. Safe Travels, until the next time I see you."
