Actually, [Linked Image] is "Super-Soldier", an amalgamation of Captain America and Superman from a crossover series in which the DC and Marvel Universes were merged to become the Amalgam Comics Universe. According to his origin, Steve Rogers was injected with an experimental Super-Soldier serum made from the DNA of the dead occupant of a spaceship that fell to Earth not long before WW2, and thereby gained amaxing super-powers... and so on. Fun series, though I didn't care for the way Lois was sidelined.

[Linked Image] Now, this is Clark Kent, son of Jonathan and Martha Kent of Earth, from the Last Son of Earth Elseworlds tale. One day, I'm going to do an L&C version of that story (but not its dreadful sequel!) along the lines of Zoom's Speeding Bullets, though it's going to take rather more reworking, and I may chuck out the GL connection; I have a workable alternative that will make [human] Clark super.

Harking back to the 60s, there was an entertaining multi-part series in which Superman discovered that his father had considered a number of other planets to send him to rather than Earth and, courtesy of some Kryptonian Clarke's-Third-Law technology, was able to watch extrapolations of what his life could have been like on these other planets. By a strange(?) coincidence(??), it seems that Kal-El would not have been super on these worlds, but he would have taken the role of, or at least acquired the powers of, one of his fellow Justice League members. Examples which come to mind are Green Arrow and the Flash, though the latter was a bit of a disaster as he ran too fast and sent himself into orbit! :rolleyes: Eventually, Jor-El decided on Earth as the best place for his sun, and ISTR that one reason for that was that the "extrapolation" for our world showed Kal as Superman! laugh
