I'm sorry, I don't know how the mullet was EVER in fashion. I don't mind changes for storyline purposes (showing time passing or something like that) but some looks are just classic and shouldn't change.

I never perceived Superman's "mullet period" as him having an actual mullet. From all the images I've seen, he simply seemed to have long hair.

When JB was doing the X-Men back in the day and they got stuck in the Savage Land, Cyclops was growing a beard and mustache (from lack of shaving) which he got rid of shortly after.•• Don't remind me! That short sequence was the birth of "Cyclops is a jerk", as Chris took a scene that was intended to be some deep emotional ruminations from Scott (very much IN character), and turned it into Storm haranguing him with a feminist diatribe (very much OUT of character)! From that point on, the fan mail took a distinctly anti-Scott tone.

I doubt anyone would be able to give Superman a very long beard------------------------------ I had very few Superman comics as a young child, but strangely I did have one with this story:
I appreciate you weren't talking about a one-off story, but it did bring back a long-forgotten memory...

I still get a kick out of the Legion of Super-Heroes going from conservative 60's hairstyles to 70's/early 80's hairstyles. As a kid, I didn't put it together that this was done to reflect the current styles in the 20th century. In some ways, maybe these were the ideal characters (young, team-based, no individual superstars) to do this kind of thing with.

Superman also had a beard during the "Exile in Space" storyline.

For some reason, I think I'd get a kick out of a Superheroes with Mullets thread...

Maybe I am showing my age but I don't class that as a mullet. It is just longer hair. It seems now that anyone with hair a bit longer in the back has a mullet. This is how I see a mullet.
Short in the front and sides and long in the back. Clooney does not have a mullet. Just longer hair.

Mullets are business in front, party in back, like Neil posted above. That Clooney pic is just long hair. Heck, most artists drew "Mullet Superman" with just long hair.
Maybe Americans and Canadians have different hair thresholds to qualify as mullets? Because even in that pic of Superman on Man of Steel, it looks like his long hair is just combed back. That's not a mullet. It kind of looks permed though...
