Superverse Gift Ideas That Should Be Actually Real

[daBronzeBomma]

Ground Rules: pitch a Superverse Gift Idea that doesn't yet exist but should. As much or as briefly as you like.

Must only feature Superverse proper characters (NO Justice League, Titans, Legion of Superheroes, etc).


My idea: The Superverse Chess Set.

Kings*: Lois Lane vs Lex Luthor
Queens*: Superman vs Doomsday
Bishops: John Henry Irons & Conner vs Brainiac & Mxyzptlk
Knights: Jimmy Olsen & Krypto vs Metallo & Parasite
Rooks: Supergirl & Power Gal vs Zod & Bizarro
Pawns: S-Shields vs Lexcorp Logos

* = I know, I know: Lois would usually be the queen because she's a woman, but let's be honest, in this scenario, most fans would want the most powerful and central player from the comix to be the most powerful piece on the board.

But there is also a nice touch that the most vital piece on the board is also the most vulnerable, and that fits Lois to a tee.

Hail Chess King Lois and Chess Queen Superman!
Boo Chess King Lex and Chess Queen Doomsday!

A decent videogame would be really nice.

I'd very much like a proper, full sized high quality cape.

Heck, they could market it as a blanket-like thing you could wrap around yourself on the sofa. I'd defintely want that.

didn't some media have Superman come to Earth with a blanket that's mostly solid-color but with the House of El logo?

That's been used a few times, good point. MAKE IT AND SELL IT TO ME DC!!!

When I was about six or seven I knew a kid that had one of these. To this day I still have no idea where he got it.

My choices:

A comics accurate Lois Lane action figure.

And in the same vein:

Business suit Luthor action figure.

This is just for me and no one on the planet will ever want this but I kind of want a Superman figure from the Supergirl show. Complete with the cape clips. It's goofy and silly looking and I totally want it!

Hmm now that I think about it again. I DO remember seeing DC comics branded children's bedding years ago.

I love the chess idea.

I was thinking of a Kryptonian decoder ring and somehow discovered this exists...

Along with DC Comics branded children's underwear.

No offense, but I don't want to see the chess idea if it's executed in the way the OP envisions it. Superman and Luthor would be king. It makes the most sense, regardless of the OP's "rationale."

One item I have never understood not existing is a Superman t-shirt that has a blue front panel with S-shield and blue sleeves but with a red back panel with the yellow S-shield. It would be the ultimate Superman costume t-shirt and would also look like a regular t-shirt, unlike those weird costume shirts with the muscles and attached cape.

I would also love to see someone make Kal-El's rocket, complete with a baby Kal-El, and a red beach towel with the yellow S-shield. Simple ideas all, yet they've eluded the marketing types for years.

A Supermobile for kids along the lines of old school Big Wheels would be great.
