To expand slightly on this - I think that a FICTIONAL character that 
manifests in the real world (the UA world) would certainly draw the 
attention of those who are the keepers of the Rooms of Renunciation.  The 
drawing of a god into the real world means what?  Who are (and what are) the 
gods of the UA world?  I think that Bira is right on his point - these 
anomalies are immutable (how could the super dude be so fixated on Lois).  
They do not change.  They do not evolve.  In fact they are sort of the 
antithesis of evolution.  They did not evolve here - they appeared here 
either shot to earth in their dad's rocket or created by some sort of 
chemical or human engineered biological mutation.  A short life to them ( 
the clink of glasses is heard).
