noncommital
Way more realistic than letting the kid grow up innocent on a Kansas farm. This would only f*ck him up.

Hyperion! Yaaassss “Supreme Power” is amazing, highly recommend
Cerebralbore101
Sentry was a much better take on Superman, than Hyperion.

IT'S IN THE TITLE PEOPLE COME ON
Tchansen
Well, to be fair, most of the posts have shit titles ... we’ve been conditioned to ignore them.
Cptelectricfeel
Awesome

For the view from the opposite side of the iron curtain check out Red Son: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman:_Red_Son ☭
taransonder

AgamemnonsMemes

I was kind of hoping for the Shrike.

I'm always hoping for the shrike

I came here for memes, not to read!
Fredders
No one is forcing you to read the comic...
tomobach
It was a joke..
Mumalot
The pod looks very... xenomorphy.

Where's the rest?
strawberrycocoa
From Wikipedia he has super strength speed and durability, flight, super breath, a degree in journalism, and is weak to "argonite radiation"
strawberrycocoa
He is a blatantly transparent ripoff of Superman in every conceivable way. I honestly thought better of Marvel.
AgamemnonsMemes
DC and Marvel 'ripoff' each other constantly. See: Namor/Aquaman, Thanos/Darkseid, Ultron/Brainiac, Moon Knight/Batman, 1/?
AgamemnonsMemes
Dr Strange/Dr Fate, Sandman/Clayfacem Atom/Ant Man, Catwoman/Black Cat and so on
Snooj
Is that one of the artists from The Preacher? Very similar looking style.
Datsinginguy
No
SlightlyNormal
..So where's the punchline? Why is this comic with seemingly no context is on FP.
Datsinginguy
You need to read this comic. It turns the concept of Superman on its ear. Extremely well written
ingelri
In other words, this is an ad
Datsinginguy
I don’t think it’s still for sale anymore. Most people post comics here because they rock. Read it if you like comics because, or don’t
Datsinginguy
I’m not your mother.
ingelri
How can I be sure?
MyDogJake
So Hyperion has the exact same back story as superman. That's lazy.
HeroOfKvatch1
Yep. This is called a rip off.
Stev757
Marvel's Squadron Supreme series is kinda their take on DC characters. The similarities are on purpose.
CapitalizingOnTheAbsenseOfAReasonableUsernameCharacterLimit
I think it's called a deconstruction, buddy.
Zyrin
Iirc Hyperion and his world was created so that Marvel and Dc could do crossovers with out having their actual characters be effected.
Zyrin
Aka if you want to do a story about superman just use Hyperion so that Superman wont be effected and ruin another writers ideas.
Saintyoungman
Can you tell me what comic its from?

Supreme power #1 (2003)

Thank you kindly

Thanks

Thanks, I'll have to check it out

What's it about?
TheThorniestBerry
Looks like Superman but with a different turn of events early on. I think its called AU for Alternate Universe. I think.
eduo
It's a new take on an older comic called "Squadron Supreme", originally about an ersatz Justice League deciding to fix the world's problems.
eduo
That older comic in turn reused the characters from "Squadron Sinister", a team of baddies (base don the JL) fighting the Avengers.

Marvel's Superman
blcoyote
Well there's also sentinel.
SorDavos
Sentry*. And Gladiator.
nottheactualcannibalshialabeouf
And Blue Marvel, but we don't talk about him *whispers* because he's black.
Blackmage665
I've never really found him to be well written since at least his introduction.
SorDavos
It must be hard to get him to make sense in Marvel, having to write reason as to why he was never around when the big things happened.
SpiderDetective
Him, along with the rest of Squadron Supreme, were basically Marvel's interpretation of Justice League characters.

And then there's the DC equivalent of the Avengers: The Assemblers http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Champions_of_Angor
TongueTiedLabourerfromtheLandoftheLittlePeople
And the DC Captain America http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Joseph_Jones_(New_Earth)
Cyractacus
General Glory was crazier though.
TongueTiedLabourerfromtheLandoftheLittlePeople
DC and marvel don't always respect each other as much as they could...
Cyractacus
I always thought of them as competitive brothers. Like, they love each other, but poke fun at each other constantly.

Everybody always forgets Les Heroes de Paris.
SpiderDetective
...OK wow. I did forget about them. Holy shit.
cyno01
Ben Grimm saying fuck it i just want to beat up bad guys and going to France was probably the best part of (comic) Civil War.
