No matter how many reboots, new origins, reinterpretations or suit redesigns. In the end, he will always be SUPERMAN

Got post crisis Superman, and i'm happy for it, really love his comics including dan jurgens and tomasi's rebirth aswell as the stuff scott snyder wrote in the justice league 2018 comics.
When it comes to the Kents, it's long been my headcanon that their being alive or dead does affect how Superman is when he starts out.
In the Golden Age and the New 52, with both of them dead, Clark is much more of a vigilante and anti-authority figure when he starts out. While in all the version where they're alive, he leans closer to the ''Boy Scout'' interpretation right from Day 1 (I include the Silver Age/Bronze Age in this, because he technically starts out as Superboy when they're still alive).
There was a question that gave different options--and one was that both Kents are dead and another was that Superman was Superboy. This was difficult for me because I prefer that the Kents are dead and Superman was Superboy--but I was forced to choose between the two. So I picked the Superboy option, because that's a tiny bit more important to me than both Kents departed.
I wonder if that was the deciding factor that made me out to be a Grant Morrison booster rather than a pre-Crisis fan.
Factors beyond the personality.
Especially say the shorts question.
At the time the Post-Crisis Superman was a shock, but he has really grown on me in the years since.
From memory, the most distinctive characteristics are:
Wears the weight of the world on his shoulders (agree)
Spends a lot of time alone (agree)
One of the most powerful beings alive (agree)
Likes to punish bullies (agree)
Had a difficult childhood (agree)
Had a happy childhood (neutral or disagree)
A segment of the population fears him (agree)
Loved by the general population (neutral)
Knows he's an alien (agree)
Always has a smile on his face (disagree or neutral)
Neutral on farmboy
Neutral on obeying the government
Neutral on Clark/Superman identity
Ma Kent is alive
No trunks
DCEU is definitely a mix, I just tried to capture it.
I got All-Star Superman, though I've always thought myself a Post-Crisis guy.
Now I'm questioning my entire fandom, thanks quiz!
It was my genuine pleasure, good sir.
Took the quiz. Took it twice back when Rider was bouncing his ideas off me and got, I believe, New52 and then (doing opposite answers) post-Crisis. Today I got the New52 again.
Which is largely correct, setting aside the questionable execution much of the era suffered through. There's a whole lot in the DNA of the New52 that really appeals to me; the best aspects of it are a modernized Golden-Silver Age fusion and it avoids many of the mistakes made during post-Crisis. Shame that the comics themselves rarely lived up to the potential of it all, but we still got some real gems like Morrison's run and Pak's, when he wasn't derailed by events.
Quiz came out real nice Rider, I hope everyone had as much fun with it as you did making it (and as much as I did giving feedback)
"We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe."
~ Black Panther.
No surprise. Post-Crisis.
From what I recall, here's where I went on the answers to get DCEU Superman:
Wears the weight of the world on his shoulders (neutral)
Spends a lot of time alone (neutral)
One of the most powerful beings alive (agree)
Likes to punish bullies (agree)
Had a difficult childhood (disagree)
Had a happy childhood (agree)
A segment of the population fears him (agree)
Loved by the general population (agree)
Knows he's an alien (agree)
Always has a smile on his face (disagree)
Neutral on farmboy
Neutral on obeying the government
Clark/Superman identity (agree on Clark being real, neutral on Superman being made-up)
Kents are alive to see Clark becoming Superman
No trunks
I guess that a few of my answers like ''segment of the population fearing him'', ''neutral on obeying the government'', ''stands up to bullies'', and ''no trunks'' were what pushed me towards the DCEU Superman, since I guess a lot of my answers apart from that leaned towards Post-Crisis.
Which again re-affirms my belief that DCEU Superman was Post-Crisis Superman with edge.

Took the test, got bronze age. Not disappointed. Well-done. lol
More or less what I expected. Pretty sure anyone who knows me would be surprised if I got anything else given my general sensibilities for DC seem to be rooted in the Bronze Age even if I wasn't even alive back then.
It's cool hearing what everyone got and how they feel about it - this is fun!
The irony of this is that both of my parents are alive, and if you gave me powers right now, I'd probably make New52's t-shirt and jeans escapades look tame... lol
I do get what you mean and where you're coming from on that, I just had to say it.
