Woo Be Upon Ye:

Medieval fantasy TimKon AU where Kon is a half-dragon prince of the realm who elevates commoner Tim to the Royal Guard on a whim. Also has Bart as an apprentice mage, Donna and Cassie as Themiscyran ambassadors, many of Tim’s school friends as Royal Guards, Wildcat as a mentor, the Daily Planet staff as the royal council, and more! Planned as part one of a four-part series.

Bernard Dowd vs. The World:

After hearing Tim’s many, many, many stories about his friends, Bernard realizes that almost all of Tim’s guy friends were hitting on Tim at multiple points. Failing to convince Tim of this, however, Bernard makes it his mission to obtain written testimonies from as many of said friends as he can to support his case. Such friends include Superboy, Danny Temple, Sebastian Ives, Lonnie Machin, and more.

Two for the Price of Them:

In this AU, Tim’s 100th cloning attempt is a success, and so clones of both Kon and Bart are created. Partway through the artificial aging process, however, an agent of N.O.W.H.E.R.E. (overhauled from the same metahuman-abduction organization from the New52) attacks. Tim is forced to go on the run and off the grid with the two clone babies.

The World Didn’t Stand Still:

When Kathy Branden plugs a Phantom Zone Crystal into her teleportal and visits the Phantom Zone, she comes back with a young Krytonian boy, Chris Kent, who claims to be the foster son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Effectively taking pre-boot Chris from after his debut story and transporting him into post-Rebirth continuity. Part of a planned trilogy of fics centered on Chris. Guaranteed that they will not end with Chris getting punted into the Phantom Zone for an unknown length of time.

The Dichotomy of Lor-Zod and Chris Kent:

In post-Infinite Frontiers continuity, Lor-Zod begins getting flashes of a life before his own, of a life where he was family to the loathsome Kal-El of the House of El. Lor’s father, Dru-Zod, convince Lor that his affliction must be the machinations of the Justice League’s Martian Manhunter, a psychic attack meant to weaken New Kandor for invasion. Along with Non as a chaperone, Lor-Zod goes on a quest to hunt the Martian Manhunter, though he’s really on the path to restoring his pre-boot history and identity, and all the internal conflict that comes from the contradictions between his two selves. Effectively how I would approach reconciling the current iteration of Lor-Zod with Chris Kent. Guest-starring Martian Manhunter and M’gann M’orzz.

The Cola Caper:

Upon hearing the devastating news that an embargo on the island nation of Santa Prisca will halt the distribution of Zesti Cola in the United States, Dick and Tim go on a mission to infiltrate Santa Prisca and abscond with as much Zesti as they can, and maybe even the secret recipe if they’re lucky.

Stray Little Tiger:

A Billy Batson-centric fic placed in a Stray!Tim Drake AU. Selina Kyle, on her way home from a caper, comes across a lightning-struck boy in an alley. Clearly homeless and in need of help, she decides to take the boy in until he’s healed, though the lightning seems to have severely damaged his vocal cords. She doesn’t know that this boy is Billy Batson, that he’s Captain Marvel, or that there’s something deeply wrong with the Rock of Eternity. This story is told mainly from Selina’s POV, with occasional sidetracks to Tim’s POV, but never Billy’s POV. Identity shenanigans, found family, magic problems, and more.

A Single Word Spoken:

A girl in the shape of a weapon is brought to Fawcett City, where she fulfills her purpose for the first and last time.

The girl who can no longer be a weapon hides from her wielder in an old subway and finds herself transported to a place of great magic.

There, the girl who wishes to be more than she was made to be finds a Wizard, who sees the girl for her heart and not for the blood staining her skin.

The Wizard teaches the girl a name.

Cassandra speaks her first word.

And in so doing, she speaks power.

Also featuring Cass navigating the anachronistic Fawcett City, befriending Billy Batson, codependency issues, an old man who’s also a Bengal tiger, ancient grudges, a different old man who’s barely qualified to give Cass life advice, and more.

Fake it For the Win:

While on a cruise, Tim and Kon decide to fake being married in order to compete on an onboard game show for married couples. When they actually win, though, they have no choice but to keep up the act for the rest of their trip. Fake dating to real dating, with a focus on comedy.

Crossroads of Fate and Eternity:

JLI-era fic with a couple of canon-divergent indulgences. Kent Nelson, helped by Khalid Nassour, decides to take Billy Batson under his wing as a student of the mystic arts. Magic lessons, Tower of Fate and Rock of Eternity shenanigans, Bromfield family stuff, an ancient entity and an ancient demon, philosophy, and other such tidbits.

A Little Ways Along the Family Tree:

When a villain travels through time to the future and accidentally takes Robin with him, Damian Wayne must team up with Mar’i and Jake Grayson to defeat the villain and return Damian to his proper time.

A High-Speed Romantic Tryst on an Open-Water Murder Shack:

When a couple of thugs steal a houseboat belonging to one of Tim’s marina neighbors while he and Bernard are hanging out, the two of them give chase in Tim’s own houseboat. Comedy, crack treated seriously.

Tim + clonecest and/or Kon’s soulmark isn’t fake? Pls ❤️😎🥳

If Superboy had a normal civilian soulmate . . . well, that’d be . . . that’d be a thing that he’d maybe do, if they didn’t mind. Just . . . hang out with them sometimes. Be . . . not just Superboy, sometimes. Maybe. Just for the weekend or whatever.

Which is a stupid thought. Superman doesn’t need time off. And even if he did, he wouldn’t spend it pretending to be somebody else. Pretending to be . . .

He wonders if Clark Kent calls Superman “Kal-El”, or . . . something else, maybe. He wonders what he and Superman even do together.

He wonders what it feels like, having a real soulmark with a real person on the other end of it.

Awesome! Do you have Kryptonian names for all of them? Was Bruce raised in Gotham or Kanas like Clark was? Is Clark rich in this au? Why does Bruce have a Kryptonian name thats so close to his "human" name while Clark has Kal-El? (no hate ofc) Is Bruce Batman in this au or does he have a diff hero name? What about the Robins? Also what are Cas, Duke, and Stephines roles here since they dont seem to be apart of the new-super fam? Is Dami's mom still Talia and if so, is she diffrent in this au?

A lot of questions! lets see if I can answer them all! First all, I only have "canon" kyrptonian names for Bruce (Bru-Way) and Dick (Ni-Way), these two are the ones who came from krypton itself.

Bruce fell down on the Wayne Estate in Gotham three days after the shooting of Thomas and Martha, about eight years old by estimation. Alfred adopts the boy, and claims him to be an adopted son of Martha and Thomas- the two were known to want a child and known for their charitable hearts- Alfred fakes the paperwork and teaches Bruce English in the meantime.

Bruce, being about 8, is about to communicate his name more clear than a baby can.

Bruce's family crest resembles a bat! (It actually resembles a creature on Krypton known to be a symbol of cleanliness/medical advancements!) His family (House of Way) was known to be the House of Doctors, full of people who wanted to advance the medical field!

For the ones not previously mentioned... Cass and Steph take the place of the Steele's, while Duke takes the place of Kong Kenan, a super that was given his powers as a gift!

Damian's mom is still Talia!

I think so many people miss a huge key to Kon-El and his relationship with secret Identities which is... he doesn't want one.

I see so many people saying he needs one, and I think even that is wrong.

For Kon the secret Identity is harmful, I mean I'd argue it is for Superman as well. Ultimately the Secret Identity is based in splitting the self into two parts.

One: The Superhero.

Two: The non-Superhero.

Now here's where the issue is. Superboy, Kon El, has fundamentally tied his real self to Superboy. Kon is the real person and Carl or Connor has to be a fabrication for him.

For Kon El to be Connor he has to pretend to be something he's not constantly... and to some extent, Kal does it too.

We can have a conversation about how he was as Superboy, how he drew less distinction between Clark and Kal, but by the time he's in Metropolis he has to redesign Clark. Clark has to be distinctly not a Superman, he can keep some aspects, his crush on Lois, some of his nerdiness, but Clark needs to be slouching, average, not as fit, not as heroic, not as good as Kal-El.

And that does massively fuck Kal up as a person. Read any silver age comic and it's Kal having an identity crisis on the weekly. Because a Secret Identity is isolating. Even if there isn't a real self or a fake self, the Secret Identity means that nobody can truly fully understand you unless you reveal the truth (and Kal's really opposed to that idea).

The Secret Identity does exist for a reason though, it's there to protect you from villains attacking your loved ones, or from constantly being assailed by fans, enemies, etc all the time.

And that's kind of one of the reasons that Cadmus was healthier for Kon.

Kon at Cadmus was (largely) protected from villain attacks, allowed to relax, allowed to be himself, and to feel safe in doing so.

Cadmus provided what a Secret Identity does without isolating him. He wasn't living in a big city, but he was surrounded by people who grew to be family and friends to him.

His mentor Guardian(Jim Harper), his parental figure of Dubbilex, Mickey Cannon who also got to be a dad to him. Tekka and Dr Roquette who were friends around his age.

Like he became surrounded by people who would look after him and care about him, he didn't have to constantly hide elements of himself or pretend to be something he isn't.

(Also important to note that Cadmus at this point were back to being full on good guys, while they weren't as rad as Kirby's DNA Project, they were distinctly not the shady government agency of early post crisis [to the point that pretty much everyone but Guardian and Dubbilex had been removed from their position]).

Believer

I do not give anyone permission to copy or repost my work!!!

Warning 18+: Small Bit Of Angst & A Firey Kiss With Sexual Innuendo.

Pairings: Clark Kent x Cardíerre James(Black!plus size female)

Description: Cardi & Clark continue on with their date

Word count:

Song: The Point of it All by Anthony Hamilton

Chapter 4: Memories With You (pt.2 of M4L)

‘Where are we going?’ Clark asked, a bit concerned.

‘I’m kidnapping yoooou.’ She sang playfully.

Clark smiled, ‘You don’t have to kidnap me. I’d willingly go.’

Then they cut around the corner and she parked in front of the memorial plaza.

Kal-El’s statue that has yet to be put back together.

‘Here we are!’ She smiled before turning off the car and clicking her seat belt.

Clark stared at the destroyed work of art. Memories of the day that Doomsday ran rampant on Earth filled his mind. When he met Diana… fighting Batman. It was like he was reliving last moments before he sacrificed himself to save the planet. His scream echoed in his ear, causing him to look away from the monument.

She noticed how his demeanor had changed. His cheery mood had seemed to dissipate into thin air. ‘Clark? Is everything alright?’

He cleared his throat and looked over at her, ‘Everything is fine,’ he said with a small yet fake smile, ‘why are we here?’

She sighed and looked ahead, ‘This is the place that… completely changed my views on life. I like coming here by myself, especially when I need some time to think…’ it grew quiet in the small space for a second, ‘I know for some people it’s a grim and dark place to be… it being a constant reminder of all those people we lost when those Kryptonians came around… and when we lost Superman…’ she trailed off.

Clark sat there in silence, swallowing his spit as he listened to her closely.

‘But it’s where I come to find solitude… peace. I just—‘ she paused for a second, trying to piece together the right words, ‘I just want you here with me tonight.’

Clark stared at her for a long moment before reaching over and grabbing her hand, ‘Then… you got me.’ He smiled softly.

The pair walked across the lush green grass, between the blue barricades and stood before the steps. ‘Have you ever been here before?’ She asked softly.

Clark stared up at the red paint on the statue’s chest, FALSE GOD it read. ‘Only once.’

She noticed his standoffish behavior, ‘Should we leave?’

‘No…’ he said before looking over at her, ‘It’s just…’ he sighed softly and put his hands in his pockets, ‘They really don’t want him here… do they?’

She looked up at the red words written across the statues chest. Breathing out through her nose, she folded her arms across her chest, ‘A lot of us want him here. He gave up the lives of his own people just to keep our planet safe. He deserves to be here. He’s our savior and protector…’

Clark watched her as she expressed her admiration for his alter ego. A little smile curled on his lips, ‘I didn’t know you were so fond of him.’

Cardi looked up at him as a shy giggle left her lips before her head fell, ‘Yeeeah..’ she placed her hands on her hips and looked up into Clark’s eyes.

‘He saved my life… I went into that burning apartment building out of instinct of wanting to help. Some guy couldn't get to his daughter so I just ran in there before the police could stop me. I burned my hand before I found the kid,' She looked down at her bandaged palm, 'The floor caved in and at that point, I had taken in so much smoke.. it was a miracle I survived. Then he came... I thought I was dead but when he held me close and told me that I was going to be OK...' She looked up at the statue and sighed softly, 'I never felt so...'

Clark watched intently as she tried to piece together and express what it was like for her in what she thought were her final moments.

'Safe.' she finally said with a small grin on her lips.

A smile curled on his lips, 'I could only imagine. When you're in those arms I bet he could make the most macho of men feel so safe and secure.'

'Oh you mean like you? I saw you swing that hammer earlier like nothing!'

'You were watching me?!' Clark asked surprised with his thumb pressed in his chest.

'Was I not suppose to?' She said looking over her shoulder as she climbed the stone steps.

There she was again, always shutting Clark down with her wittiness. A bright pink blush painted across his nose and his cheekbones as his eyes followed her up the steps. She was so intoxicating. Everything about her just drew Clark in. When she spoke about feeling safe in Superman's arms, he couldn't help but wonder how she would feel if he told her the truth. He wanted to hold her that way all the time. But he had to conceal this secret for as long as he could.

'You gone come up here so we can finish up our date?'

Clark smirked and began to climb the stone steps.

Cardierre smiled softly as she turned around to look up at him. ‘Remember that spot I was telling you about?’

‘Mmmhmm.’

‘TAG!’ She tapped him on his broad chest before cackling and running off to the other side of the stone head.

‘Ha! You cheater!’ Clark exclaimed before letting out a litter of giggles himself. But he did allow her to have a head start. He would be the true cheater if he didn’t let her. Plus, it would open up a lot of doors. So he jogged around the gigantic head and to his surprise, she wasn’t around. ‘Cardi? Where’d you go?’

Meanwhile she was covering her lips with her hands so he couldn’t hear her.

‘I’m gonna find you!’ He said aloud, playing her little game. ‘You gonna tell me where you are?!’

'You gotta come find me!' She tried her best to muffle her laughs but with Clark’s hearing, he picked up on it and snapped his head up towards the destroyed stone. Then, he focused his X-Ray vision and sure enough, her small skeleton was sitting on top of the stone ‘gotcha.’ He whispered with a smirk before he slowly levitated off of the ground, only so high enough to make it seem like he was climbing.

Once he fully pulled himself up and over, he let out a heavy sigh to show how “tired” he truly was. ‘Whooo!’ He chuckled, dusting his hands off.

‘Well it took ya long enough slow poke!’ She smirked, turning back to look at him.

‘What can I say? Climbing ain’t my strong suit.’ He chuckled as he walked over and sat down next to her. ‘This is high up. You make this climb all the time?’

Cardierre leaned back on her palms and looked up at the night sky, ‘Yup.’

‘But you could get hurt.’

‘It’s worth the risk. Plus… look at this view.’

Clark looked up, ‘Wow.’ He said as he adjusted his glasses, ‘Yeah. I see why you come here now.’ He chuckled before looking over at her. She was so beautiful to him. Her pretty brown skin, illuminated by the full moon, how her eyes just put the stars to shame.

A soft breeze brisked on by dancing in her blown out hair. He was able to capture her intoxicating scent again after so many times tonight, and it was safe to say he could never get tired of that.

He then noticed her lips curled up on the right side of her face before she let out a gentle sigh. 'What's on your mind Cardi?'

She looked over at him, 'It's just... when we were talking about Superman... I've never thought about it before but I never got a chance to thank him,' She looked back ahead at the view with a gentle smile, 'Without him... tonight would've never existed... I wouldn't have been sitting here,' She then looked over at him again, 'With you.'

Clark smiled as he looked down into her eyes. He no longer felt shy around her... he was... comfortable in her presence. 'Remind me to thank him as well then.'

She smiled as she scoot her body over carefully and rest her head against his shoulder, her brown eyes looking up at him with adoring eyes.

***

It was now 2:48am and Cardierre was sure that her father was blowing up her cell. ‘It’s getting late… I should get home. My dad probably wants to wring your neck by now.’ She giggled as she sat up and stretched out her upper body.

Clark was watching her body as she stretched herself out; taking in those full voluptuous breasts, then they drifted down to her rump and her thighs. He felt a lump grow in his throat before he cleared it. ‘Yeah, we should get going. Don’t wanna be falling asleep at the desk tomorrow.’ He then carefully pulled himself up to his feet, and then helped her to hers.

Cardi looked over carefully and cursed, ‘Dammit. I think the head shifted a bit. I won’t be able to get down safely. Great.’ She sighed out as she placed her hand on her hip and the other on her head.

‘Um…’ he looked over, to see that they were in fact a little bit further than they were supposed to be. He’d be able to get down fine, but with her short legs, she could seriously hurt herself. ‘I got an idea. Just wait here OK? Don’t panic.’ He said softly before turning away and looking down below one more time; pretending to analyze and piece together how he was going to get down “safely”.

‘Alright, Clark… just climb down. Like a regular human.’ It was always funny when he called himself that.

Clark carefully and calculatedly did his best to ease down from the head. He had to focus on not pushing it over with his brute strength. That would simply crush her to death. The other thing he was worried about was slipping and landing on his neck the wrong way and not being dead. Or even just catching himself in midair. He wasn’t exactly ready to share that kind of news with her yet.

Looking down, he carefully pushed his foot into the stone, creating small craters to use as steps for himself. Once he made it to the ground safely, he stepped back to see her balancing herself carefully.

He analyzed the area for any safety spots. His craters were just too spaced out and with her short legs, she wouldnt be able to climb down.

'Alright Cardi! I know this is gonna be stupid but there's no other way to get you down. You're gonna have to jump into my arms!' he shouted

Cardi carefully peaked over the edge to see Clark staring up with his hand on his hip and the other adjusting his glasses. It wasn't a far fall, but this was concrete and it would be nasty landing. She inhaled through her teeth, 'You promise?' She yelled.

'Cross my heart!'

Letting out a sigh, she carefully stood up straight which caused the head to shift forward a little bit.

'Who-whoa.' She found her footing and squat to stabilize herself. 'OK! On 3 i'm going to jump!'

'Alright!' He planted his feet apart and reached up high.

'1...2...3!' And she jumped forward off of the head, 'UGH!' and into Clark's hands.

She rest her hands on his shoulders as she let out a shudder of breath left her full lips. Her big brown orbs taking in his features. Wow, how was he real?! There it was again, that feeling of being safe... comfort. 'Wow...' she breathe as she looked down at him, 'You really caught me.'

'I told you I would. What did you expect?'

Cardi wasn't sure if she should be surprised or spooked out that he caught her without a single bit of struggle. But that was instantly overshadowed by want, 'Is it okay if I kiss you right now?'

Clark's eyes grew slightly at the question, now he was the one in shock. He wasn't expecting her to just open herself up the way she did tonight. But he liked it! 'Of cou-.'

And her lips quickly crashed into his, barely giving him a moment to breathe or speak. But in just less than a moment, he fell into place; bringing her body down flush against his before wrapping his large arms around her waist.

Her arms snaked up and around his neck as they devoured one another in that Earth bending point of affection.

Finally, he’d carefully placed her flat on her feet, now hunched over from their size difference and he kept his hands on her waist.

She slowly slithered her hands down to grab his face before she broke the kiss. Her eyes remained closed as she took a moment to catch her breathe, ‘Come back to the condo with me?’

Her words caused Clark’s heart to ram in his chest. As much as he wanted to, he didn’t want her to think that he saw her as a slut. Plus, he wasn’t exactly experienced in that field. He would embarrass himself.

‘I—‘ but it was tempting, ‘How about we just… take it slow?’

Cardi’s eyes fluttered open to look at him as her tongue explored her bottom lip to taste his remnants that he left behind.

So damn delicious.

‘Yeah,’ she sighed out, ‘Slow… slow sound’s good.’ She smiled softly before looking down at her watch, it was now 3:01am. ‘We should get going. My dad is probably loading’ up his .45.’ She giggled as the couple turned to walk down the steps.

‘Remind me to bring a bullet proof vest when your dad is around.’ He chuckled as he wrapped his arm around her waist.

Cardi laughed out, ‘HAH! That fool is a teddy bear. He ain’t gone hurt nobody.’

***

Clark pulled up before the apartment building and looked over at her, ‘Well, this is it…’

‘Yep… this is it.’ She repeated as she looked from the window over to him, ‘Hey, Clark? I had a great time tonight. From the ride to the carnival all the way back here at 3:39am.’

They both laughed in a sweet bliss. Clark’s blush had never seem to ease up since their kiss. And his glares had gained more time, it was harder to pull his eyes away from her. ‘Yeah, it is late. Send your parents my apologies?’

‘Of course.’ She giggled before she bit into her bottom lip as she thought about her request earlier, ‘And… I’d also like to apologize for earlier…’

Clark’s brows tugged into one in confusion.

‘You know? … for asking you to… come back with me?’

‘OH! Oh!’

‘Yeeeeah.’ She giggled shamefully.

‘Cardierre, you don’t have to apologize for that I mean—‘

‘But I dooo… I overstepped and—‘

‘Cardi…’ it grew quiet as he rest his wrists against the steering wheel.

She looked over at him, recognizing the bass in his voice… meaning he meant business.

‘You can— shouldn’t apologize for … feeling. What you were feeling… what I was feeling…’ he swallowed, realizing he just admitted that he wanted to bed her too, ‘Are human feelings. Normal yet, complicated but beautiful.’

Her heart thudded so hard against her rib cage. She felt a lump growing in her throat and that familiar tightening in her womb. She had to clasp her thighs together to soothe the blissful pain. She was at loss for words.

‘When that day comes… it’ll be so worth the wait. That’s a promise.’

Cardi felt like her head was spinning at this point, ‘Oh… OK.’ She laughed as she began to fan herself, trying to control and cool down her arousal.

Clark chuckled and grabbed her hand before placing a kiss on her knuckles, ‘I had a great night with you too. I hate for it to end.’

She reached over and placed her other hand on his jaw just admiring his dramatic features. So pristine and flawless. She then leaned in and pressed her lips against his softly. It wasn’t has deep and hard as earlier but she just wanted to leave with his taste on her lips.

Once she’d broken the kiss, her eyes fell to his lips then back to his eyes, ‘I’ll see you tomorrow, Clark.’

‘You will.’ He said as his frosty blue hues remained on her full lips. ‘Goodnight.’

Idea for your Marvel and DC crossover universe: Kal-El fell on Earth in the 1930s and was adopted by the Rogers family, who called him Steve. He lived like an human for years, with his powers not triggering until he was injected the super soldier serum, which acted like a trigger and activated his latent kryptonian powers.

He still became Captain America but when he began exhibiting powers beyond those that the serum was supposed to give him the government began to investigate and discovered his true origins. Determined to not end up as a lab rat but also wanting to stop the war and not let his friends and family be endangered, Cap “sacrificed” himself to defeat the Red Skull and went into hiding for years.

He eventually emerged from hiding in 1954 under the fake name Clark Kent and began working for the Daily Bugle, where he met his future wife Lois Lane.

He lived a normal life until the 1960s, when the government attempted to create another super soldier with his powers by combining a blood sample they had of him with a recreation of the super soldier serum, creating an insane and incredibly powerful being called the Sentry. In order to prevent him from destroying Earth Superman was forced to reveal himself and, with the help of other superheroes like Iron Man and Wonder Woman, saved the world and eventually founded the successor of the Justice Society, the Avengers.

Interesting.

I'd probably keep the story focused around Batman and Spidey, but I like this idea too.

The New Superman and The New Wonder Woman

Orana and Ar-Val are pretty close characterization wise. Both are quick-tempered characters who want glory for their superheroics.

Orana is more confused about the Outside World, while Ar-Val's ego only became a thing once he started superheroing. Orana is more like the other potential replacement Superman as well. (The other replacement Superman kept failing the tests Clark put them through due to not thinking things through causing a potential loss of life; while Orana during the tournament kept putting people in danger; However, Ar-Val later fakes accidents to make him look good)

They also both died at the end of their stories; However Orana died due to not listening to Diana, while Ar-Val's death was caused due to him saving Kal-El

Something is interesting is that Orana listens to Diana's advice about Warhead, while Ar doesn't listen to Clark's advice about Luthor

They're also both called the new [Superhero name]

#Ar-Val #Orana #Superman #Wonder Woman #Kal-El #Clark Kent #Diana of Paradise Island #comic continuity and idenity ramblings #dc comics

So most of you don't know this but for a long time, the main continuity had 2 Supermans. I will do my best to explain it as accurate as possible, but if you come across a mistake or incorrect info please let me know. This whole ordeal is very confusing.

So the story takes place in the New 52, where things are darker compared to the previous retcons and people trust the heroes less (With Wonder Woman killing Max Lord and because the writers wanted to make things more realistic). In this time period, Superman is dating Wonder Woman and he doesn't have a son.

The story begins with the news of Superman dying. He is dying of Kryptonite poisoning and him getting weaker and weaker due to his recent fights:

So, Clark goes out to give this news to his friends and family. He visits Lana Lang, Kara, Bruce and Lois. Along the way, Diana finds out of course and we see emotional panels between these characters.

But there is another problem. A new threat that identifies himself as Superman:

This guy proves to be very troublesome. He dresses up as Clark and goes to work at Daily Planet even though everyone clearly sees that this guy is not Clark Kent.

This pisses him off and he goes around to fuck things up, while Superman tries to stop him even though he is getting weaker by time and is slowly dying.

One night, the Fake Superman visits Lois and tells her a secret. About another Superman that has been living in their Earth for a long while without anyone knowing:

He takes Lois to their location and obviously Lois is shocked:

This version of Clark Kent has taken the name Clark White, along with his family. We also meet Jon Kent (Or Jonathan Samuel White).

Obviously, a fight breaks out between them. Because this Clark feels theatened due to the fact that his son is with them and is in danger.

But before that I want to talk about the reason why another Superman is living on this Earth.

So there was an event called Convergence. Personally, It's a bad run that is all over the place. But basically, heroes from different Earths come together to stop a threat.

As expected, they beat the villain and Brainiac offers the heroes a prize. Everyone can go to any Earth they want and continue their life. Some go to their original Earth, some don't:

Clark, Lois and baby Jon go back to the first crisis (Which is the New 52) to prevent the collapse of the Multiverse and try to prevent bad things from happening.

I will call this Clark Pre New 52 Superman, and the one who dates Wonder Woman New 52 Superman.

Anyways, since there couldn't be 2 Supermans at the same time, Pre New 52 Superman takes care of things behind the scene.

So whenever New 52 Superman goes to space and stuff, he looks after Earth.

So, coming back to our main story, New 52 Superman and Pre New 52 Superman meet and team up to beat the Fake Superman.

New 52 Superman knows he is about to die, so he punches Pre New 52 Superman back to Earth and basically sacrifices himself to save the Earth.

After he beats the Fake Superman, he starts falling down to Earth, but before he can crash Pre New 52 Superman saves him.

This doesn't change anything, as he dies later on from kryptonite poisoning:

After this whole ordeal, things happen and the New 52 Lois Lane dies too. So what happens next is that, the Pre New 52 Superfamily take the place of the New 52 versions of themselves.

But this was again retconned in Son Of Kal El, and it was made it out to be that Clark and Lois were together all along and she gives birth to Jon in the Fortress of Solitude.

So the three of them being from Pre New 52 was erased and they were written as being the original Superfamily.

I know this is very confusing (because it is to me, too) but I think it's a very interesting and fun concept to play with.

Superman & Wonder Woman: Being True

There seems to be this notion that when Superman and Wonder Woman are together, they see themselves as above humans or they lose their humanity is utter bullshit. There has been zero evidence of this in canon comics. Using goofy alternate shit like Injustice doesn’t make the argument either.

It was also said that they bring out uncomfortableness. Why? Because it’s acknowledged that they are different and not conforming to what’s acceptable as the norm? Well so be it. In the real world, no one lives for someone else’s comfort. You can miss me with that selfish entitled bullshit.

There are claims Superman and Wonder Woman needing to be anchored to human love interests to be relatable or lower themselves to be “normal”. No, no, hell, no. Lois Lane and Steve Trevor are not why Clark and Diana are the heroes they are. Clark and Diana were heroes, had their purpose way before them. Lois and Steve aren’t and should never be their motivation to do what’s right and what they were meant to do and be. Clark and Diana are far more “human” than any normal human any damn way. They selflessly make shit ton of sacrifices without any hesitation. What they do as individuals or a couple is on extraordinary levels and there’s nothing wrong with that. Flying across the skies like free birds is such a beautiful thing. Trying to cage these birds, ground and limit them is unnecessary and a shame.

As best friends with unresolved, underlying feelings or the Power Couple, it has always been established, their duty as heroes come first. They have been each other’s moral compasses, written to have complexed conversations about their purposes, the view of the world, open to each other about their deepest feelings etc.

To reiterate this again, Kal-El is from a different planet entirely. He is an alien. He may look human in appearance but he is not. He was raised to pretend to be normal but he is not normal. Yes, the Kents raised him with good morals and values but that sure as hell does not mean, he had to grow up to reject his heritage, and keep pretending to fit in and the mental gymnastics. Pre-Crisis and New52 Superman understood this assignment. Post crisis Superman, not so much. Superman was once the Champion of the Oppressed. He was to aspire and lead to better. To make a difference in a world of corruption. What happened to that? Now he is just stagnant, stuck in a comfort zone of pretending, romanticizing lies and being unethical at times. Protector of an outdated view and status quo. As well the obnoxious problematic depiction from the beginning of Rebirth of perfect privileged spoon-fed all American family that basically screwed up DC continuity even more so to force it as the “truth” or “real”. Superman/Kal-El/Clark Kent should be one in the same. Not choosing one over the other as one is fake/disguise. Ironically, in the animated adaption of “Throne of Atlantis”, Clark himself said to not be “one of them, but to blend in.” This was before the asspulled contrived asinine 180 of his character for Death of Superman adaption.

Diana of Themyscira is a Princess from a secluded island that was separated from man’s world for its chaotic bullshit. Yet, she wanted to explore the world, learn and teach, bring peace and people together. She celebrates life and love, stands for truth with one self and others. Motivate and fight for equality and the protection of women and children. Majority of Diana’s iterations have been consistent with this attitude. Except rebirth, who had to be thrown into a mental institution and losing herself because spiteful writer’s bias. You really expect me to believe homegirl was living a lie and in some kind of illusion within her mind or whatever for 10 years? LOL no. Although, she is a DemiGoddess, Diana is still very much an earth woman. And I mean that literally if we go with the clay origin.

What I loved about new52 Superman was his motivation to be Superman was the PEOPLE

Diana is the Goddess of Truth after all. To hide who you are, what you love and enjoy is a disservice to oneself.

The two together bring something unique and challenging. They have their similarities and differences that compliment.

But they don’t change who they are for one or the other. They learn from each other, accept even more of each other, and grow together as a couple.

In this day and age, we celebrate what makes us stand out and be our unique selves. Superman and Wonder Woman are suppose to THE epitome of this!
