Kal-El would most likely join the Roman army once he's of age, and is deemed a son of Apollo.

The original back when the empire was at its height the monarchy of Caesar i think.

if that then he could very well be a general whose role is defending the cult of the emperor, that is if he does no get either the title of son of helios or son of mithras, maybe his name would be claudius

That's basically the angle of the Alpha Centurion character from the 90s.

Hercules was sort of the Roman version of Superman. And Hercules was considered a god. I wonder how they would have viewed Superman. Was he what the mythology
of Hercules was based on. Was he Hercules incarnate?
