Well... Cimmerian. Wild steppe tribes that Robert E. Howard chose to make the ancestral people of Conan's.

Just saying, every time I read the subject, Superman... Is Conan!, I swear, and I mean no kidding, I think "O'Brien?"
I find it a little funny to imagine, but mostly I find it weird, and then a bit more funny.
Superman. Tall. Very long legs. Pale. Red hair.
It could happen.

Here's another one, just to show the idea is not abnormally outlandish. Well, maybe it is something I have in common with one or more people, twisted as it might be.

I think it's sad that the film version has now supplanted the original books (which have little in common, other than lots of muscle) which were amongs the very best examples of the story teller's art.

Always the way with film adaptation of books. Anycase we wouldn't have Arnie saying "Soomeirian" and what a loss for culture that would have been :lol:
