Questions from a New Comic Collector
Hello everyone! First time poster! I figured you all are the ones with the collective knowledge to know the DC Universe front and back and would have the answers to my questions :)
1) Is Kal-L (Earth 2 Pre-COIE) the Superman from Action Comics #1? If so, then Superboy PRIME killed the original Superman?
2) What caused (in universe) the change between Superman's origins in Man of Steel to follow Birthright instead?
3) With Convergence happening and the insinuation that all of the previous incarnations of the multiverse were restored, is it likely that "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" is now the canon end to Silver Age Superman?
4) How does Convergence work with Multiversity? Why was only Multiversity included in Superman: Multiplicity?
5) I'm trying to backtrack and collect events that I feel were important and universe changing (with a couple of ones I just want to read like Death of Superman and Blackest Night). In so doing I am wanting to read these comics in "chronological order" but am getting a little confused about some comics.
For instance, is Flash Futures End 1 & 2 the same as Flash #39 and 40 (from the Savage World New 52 Volume)? And did those issues happen before or after Futures End?
6) Silly Question - Were the Gods from Olympus untouched by Dr. Manhattan (opinion)? Would that mean that Earth 2 Pre-Crisis Wonder Woman would still be around?
