So I'm hoping to get some advice. I want to make a "This is your life" bind, for in-continuity Superman.
Pretty much his key story elements post-crisis, up to Superman Reborn (minus D&R, as I'm getting the omni).
The mapping would look like this:
Secret Origin - (it's the current canon origin)
Kryptonite - (Superman deals with Green Kryptonite for the 1st time)
For the Man Who Has Everything - (a key Mongul & trinity story)
*Some late 80's Darkseid could go here, if it's still canon
The Supergirl Saga - (Superman executes 3 Kryptonian criminals in an alternate Earth)
Exile - (he Exiles himself due to grief and vows to never kill again / also faces Eradicator & Mongul)
Krisis of the Krimson Kryptonite - (the first time he faces Red Kryptonite & proposes to Lois)
Action Comics #662 - (Clark reveals his identity as Superman to Lois)
Superman. Vol 2 #100 & #118 - (His secret identity is revealed to Conduit & Lois accepts his proposal)
The Wedding Album - (Lois and Clark Marry)
President Luthor - (essential Lex villainy)
What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & The American Way - (Action Comics #775, highly praised issue)
Last Son of Krypton - (Dealing with Zod, his son & the "real" Brainiac)
Convergence Superman #1-2 - (reintroducing pre-52 Superman to main DC Earth. Birth of Jonathan Kent)
Lois & Clark - (the story of returning pre-52 Superman, Lois and Jonathan)
Final Days of Superman - (the ending to New 52 Superman)
Superman Reborn - (mostly retcons New 52 Superman and establishing a post-Rebirth Superman)
I'm going for chronological order, more than release date. I feel like Kandor and certain characters are missing.
I'd really appreciate any input of important events to Superman I should include or character appearances.
Cheers.
