Marvel (and the whole Shazam family, originally from Fawcett Comics), Black Adam & Capt. Thunder (Shazam-esque villains), The Martian Manhunter, Icon (Milestone imprint) and even Wonder Woman (sort of).  And other companies have their own variants.Hyperion & Thor from Marvel; Supreme from Image; Dark Horse's Titan (who, interestingly, went crazy and had to be killed)...It seems nearly every company that did superheroes did a Superman-type character.  Even storylines like Astro City and the Powers comics have them.  The man-god is inescapable.</blockquote>
