Found this on another board but thought it was an interesting topic, so I brought it here. Any ideas? Can you imagine what it would've been like? I think it could be a good story...


I'm not a huge Superman fan, but these ideas just popped into my head and I had to ask somebody, so I'll ask you guys!
I'm wondering what the stories would be like if he had been brought up by the families of the other heroes.


What if Superman had...
...landed in the Wayne's back yard? Imagine Batman and Superman fighting crime together from their youth, what a menacing duo! Beats Robin anyway. How would that change Batsy's and Supermans attitudes?

...landed in the ocean and was found by the Atlantians? How would Superman act if he had spend his life under the rule of the magical Atlantis royalty, Aquaman himself? Would his powers be weakness by the lack of sunlight beneath the waves or would the pressure and constant swimming strengthen him?

...landed in the throne-room of the savage Amazons? How would the Amazons react to a man that could kick their asses? Imagine a hardened, battle trained Superman cutting off heads! Would Wonderwoman have a arranged marriage with ol' Supes, would their kids be the greatest warriors on Earth?

Interesting.

Although its not like the idea of Superman's craft crashing elsewhere has been totally ignored up till now. I refer you to "Superman: Red Son".

I'm not positive, but I have some vague memories that at least one or two other possible crash sites may have been explored in a story at some point over the many years of Superman comics. The idea of Clark being raised by the Waynes sounds particularly familiar, although I'm sure it was from some very obscure long ago issue. My expectation is that a true "alternate" story would have him AS the Wayne's only son though, not as one of two.

I always like "alternate" stories. It keeps things fresh sometimes and are a nice breather.
