1. Comics strongly imply that Santa is never able to do his job without help
2. Because his sleigh always seems to break down
3. Or he forgets his reindeer
4. So he mostly relies on the labor of others
5. Though Batman really isn't pulling his weight
6. These three didn't even use the chimney...
7. Honestly, Superman just wants Claus' job
8. and is kinda a jerk about it
9. Santa gets upstaged a lot
10. In strange and unique ways..
11. He appears to dislike his job
12. As he has to deal with greed
13. Assault...
14. Thievery...
15. Misogyny....
16. Casual racism
17. and Hippies
18. Santa's helpers fare no better
19. No one trusts Saint Nick to do his job so they pose as him...
20. With varying degrees of success
21. You're not fooling anyone Optimus
22. C'mon Man-Thing...
23. No one can get into the spirit of the holidays
24. They fight
25. Mostly in Christmas ornaments
26. I guess because they are shiny?
27. Or malls
28. and they end up having a horrible holiday season
29. Heroes make the holidays a total downer
30. Because someone is either screwing up
31. Having anger issues
32. Or plotting world domination
33. Or having financial problems
34. Or just attempting to destroy the world
35. And some heroes take the religious aspect a bit too seriously
36. I mean Superman is an alien, I didn't expect him to be preachy
37. So its no surprise when Santa blows his stack
38. and attempts vehicular homicide
39. or assaults Iron Man with a death ray...
40. turns himself into a zombie...
41. or creates clones of himself...
42. Santa will use whatever means necessary
43. However, sometimes things don't always come up Santa
44. and the results are tragic
45. But the holidays are also a time for romance
46. festivity...
47. friendship...
48. and peace
49. and every so often the heroes do something truly noble to keep Santa from going over the edge
