Alternate Universe Superman Comics

This is my favorite "alternative" Superman image.

The Wayne family adopts Kal-el and name him Bruce...
You know this was an actual comic, right? Superman: Speeding Bullets.

Big fan myself of Superman: Secret Identity. Great Concept, a world without superheroes but with the Superman comic book. This kid with the unfortunate name of Clark Kent is always teased about it....until he actually develops the same super powers of his namesake.



At the other end of the spectrum was Stan Lee's take on Superman. The John Buscema art was pretty good but the story itself was rather lame.
 

I always liked the stories of a human baby Clark Kent being blasted off in a rocket by Ma & Pa Kent and landing on the planet Krypton, being adopted by Jor-El and Lara and raised as Kal-El.

He became weaker as a human on Krypton and had to wear a robo-suit designed by his adopted father. Eventually, he became the Green Lantern of Krypton!!

It's a fusion of my two favorite DC heroes, Superman and Green Lantern!

I think there's a sequel where Clark returns to Earth, but I haven't read it.
 

I don't think this has ever been a published story, but I've always wanted to see one where Lois gets sent to Krypton and under the influence of its Red Sun develops super powers...
 


My favorite alternate version is the one where Kal-El's ship crash lands in the medeival time period. I forget what is was called, however.
 


While we're at it let's not forget Ultraman, leader of the Crime Syndicate of America. The Crime Syndicate are the Justice League's alternate-universe evil counterparts. They've been around since the mid-1960's and Ultraman recently appeared in a multi-part storyline in DC's team-up book "The Brave and the Bold".

Oh man. My favorite episode from the Superman Animated Series was the Knight Time story, where Kal put on the Batman costume and eventually found that Bruce had been manipulated with nanobots by Brainiac.

This is another one I'm going to have to check out. :cool:
