Listen. And understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop - ever - until you are dead.

No mention of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the guy who looks at art and deduces exactly what his enemy is thinking from it? That second category appeared to be made for him. But I don't read much SF, so others may be more suited for that for all I know.

Actually, it wasn't a story. It was an essay (recreated from a speech given at some convention?) about what would happen if Superman existed in the real world, mostly related to (IIRC) him having the usual sexual urges of a teenage boy, but having super-powered muscles and super sperm. Quite funny.
