Psuedo Superman

3/4/ 2020- 3/9/2020


Superman is arguably the greatest Superhero to be created and because of his success, he has been copied by many rival companies. He’s even been copied by his own company. ( It must be the cape). Anyway, pick a cover that shows attempts to benefit from the Man of Steels popularity.

Superman III in this Issue

[The Darknight Detective]

The greatest of the Superman-inspired superheroes.

[Ravin' Ray]

Our own homegrown Supes!

[nx01a]

A truly wonderful run by Alan Moore, making a ultra-violent pseudo-Superman into a loving and incredibly fun tribute to Superman.

[CaptCleghorn]

nx01a 'cuz of the use of so much from the Superman mythos, cover design, names, and characters.

[ed2962]

Hyperion ( one of Marvel's many Superman analogues)

[Kai "the spy"]

Edit: Ninja'd. I'll come up with something else.

Edit 2.0: Okay, here's my replacement entry.

[foxley]

I'm more than a bird
I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me



Some copies can be great in their own right.

Congratulations to foxley for a beautiful cover which coveryed the glory of the alpha hero, but paid great attention to the inhabitants of the city the hero holds dear. Or more simply, awesome Brent Anderson art.

For the peak of the week, the captain admits he was aware of the many Kryptonian dopplegangers in the comics universe. However there were some he hadn't remembered well, and a couple that were brand new. Superman was the hero that started it all for comics and is still the example creators aim towards with their creations. Today the comic readers are at a point where we know whn a character is meant as a homage to Kal and not designed as a new character in their own right. The captain shall end with a maxim, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".

And thanks to kjn for the vote.
