Tell me they didn't really name him that!

Nicholas Cage does DC proud by raising his own Kal-el
The actor's publicist, Annett Wolf confirmed the delivery of the baby boy in New York City besides his name as Kal-el Coppola Cage, while saying, "They are healthy and happy and it's quite lovely". It is not known where they got the inspiration to name the boy Kal-el, but it is very likely that Cage himself, who at one point collected Superman comics, might have thought of it. Though he has since auctioned off his huge collection including the prized 1938 pulp Superman debut for an estimated $1.6 million, Cage can now hope to raise a super-son.


Of course, since it's been well-demonstrated by Larry Niven that Superman himself would require some pretty extreme measures ever to have his own super-spawn, it may be that this is an act of kindness on the Cages' part. Follow the link; it's one of the funniest things you'll ever read.
