Personal Superman Head Canon

[superduperman]

My headcannon?

Superman is not some immortal being who will live forever. As he ages his cells will gradually lose their ability to store solar radiation and he will grow old and die. It might take a thousand years, but sooner or latter death comes for everyone.

Brainiac is an insane scientist from the planet Colu named Vril Dox who became obsessed with hoarding knowledge. Over the centuries of his life he has modified himself into a very advanced cyborg, but he is at his core and organic being not a rouge AI. He created his cloned son Vril Dox II which is what carried on the Dox line all the way to Brainiac 5 (Querl Dox). The Brainiac line goes Brainiac (Vril Dox) - Vril Dox II - Lyrl Dox - (unknown child of Lyrl) - Brainiac 5 (Querl Dox). So the original Brainiac is the Great-Great-Grandfather of Brainiac 5 and not some distant ancestor.

So the Kingdom Come Superman.

Well for some actual head cannon and not just another "make my own whole alternate Superman timeline".

Superman's a vegetarian but he's discovered a type of alien substance that tastes exactly like beef bourguignon he used to enjoy when he was younger.

So the Kingdom Come Superman.

Yeah exactly.

I believe Superman has some form of tactile telekinesis. That's not to say I don't believe he has super strength at all or that it's similar to Kon-El's -- I think in moments where he is under considerable strain or needing to utilize his full strength to lift something massive his TT is activated and allows for him to carry things more stably.

Is any Superman down with Superman NOT being solar powered? I was trying to find out when that specifically made its way into the lore.

I like that take. Hard to fit into headcannon when it is contradicted on page so frequently, though.

My personal preference is for Superman to simply be SUPER. That there simply isn't anything that puts him on the same level as normal humans. If he is near invulnerable then any weapon that makes him bleed would shred a human- regardless of what color light you shine, It's not like we expect a steel beam to suddenly become as fragile as glass or paper based on solar rays.

It's not really a headcanon though. That's just your alternate take on Superman.

It's really head canon..since it ain't the take nor something that's printed

All fiction requires some form of head canon to fill in the blanks the actual media doesn't fill in.

[Laser_Man]

My headcanon is that Clark Kent was sheltered as a child till he was like 9-10 years old. Kents were afraid any time the FBI will come and snatch him away.

This is why he didn't absorb a lot of sunlight in his early years. He would still be somewhat strong but only after he made friends with Lana and Pete and started playing outdoors a lot that he started slowly developing his powers. That way he would be more equipped to deal with his powers which would kick in when he would be like 12 years old.

This avoids the complication of him breaking things as a toddler and also allows him very normal upbringing till he is somewhat ready.

Yep!! I am

Headcanon = unconfirmed personal interpretation about existing material.

Yours is just a personal AU version. Not a headcanon.

These are my interpretation of the character from existing material of the og superman.If the character hadn't been succumbed to power creep, characterisation changes,..etc.

Anyways,i don't really care if head canon or not.It can be called side universe or back universe or whatever.like it matters.A story is a story.I am out..

I'm fine with a fan fiction thread but this wasn't really supposed to be that. Sorry for the confusion.
