What's your favorite alternate version of superman

A version of superman thats set outside of main continuity. Like all star superman or red sun superman.

Which one was crazy old man Supes with the massive ZZ Top beard and the triple minigun?

The Superman from All Star Superman as well as the Superman from DC animated universe.

DCAU Superman.

MOS Superman too.

Tie between MOS Superman and Injustice Superman.

Red Son or Tangent.

Red Son

Future's End

Man of Steel

@saint_wildcard: Approval from SW about a Superman thing? I've peaked so early on in my life.

Kal-L, Tangent, and New Frontier.

Does Superman Vs. The Elite count? It was based on an in-canon story.

Either way, still my favorite version.

Earth One Supes.

Can't believe I forgot about Superboy-Prime. He easily trumps Injustice Superman as my favorite evil Superman.

All Star

Red Son

Come on, pictures, people. I come into these threads to look at the pics lol.

Red son

All Star and Kingdom Come

Reeve Superman, All-star Superman, Smallville Superman.

Injustice Superman.

All Star, DCAU, Donnerverse, Kingdom Come, Injustice and Red Son.

Darkseid Superman.

Kingdom Come and MOS Supermen.

What no love for Brutaal?

Christopher Reeve, All-Star, Injustice (the hero one, not the bad one), Kingdom Come.

@koshi_waza88: Pretty much, don't know if they function exactly like omega beams though haven't read that arc.

Which Superman is this?

Kingdom Come Superman. Every time, all the time.

Red Son.

Reeves (From I and II)

I don't like Kingdom Come Superman

I'm indifferent too All Star Superman

(@saint_wildcard: MoS is NOT superman! :-) )

You don't like two of the most popular versions and then continue to tell me what isn't Superman? Tisk Tisk Tisk

All Star Superman, and Superman Prime

It's a fair point.

But the fact is that I read my first superman more than 30 years ago and he is one of the few characters, if not the only one, that (for me) has enter the "mainstream" world as a myth.

Christopher Reeve was a good adaptation

Red Son a genius idea

MoS: just a super-hero. Not Superman. I really don't get it how you didn't feel betrayed to see Superman educated by the Kent and still being so impulsive and immature (among other defaults). He was behaving like any other alien with cool superpowers in his learning phase.

To rephrase it, if Superman was really similar to the MoS character, he would have no reason to be part of the modern mythology.

No matter the nature of MoS next feats, he has already proven that he was just a SH lambda. I have no doubt that he will have learned from his mistakes. Like any junior in any new situation. But I don't care. In the movie, he is old enough to have a mature cortex. He is an adult. Whatever he learned as a dilettante SH won't change his fundamental nature. And this person has nice superpowers, with no doubt will become a cool SH. But he is not Superman.

Val-Zod.

@bullpr: Im just going to say I disagree with almost everything you've said.

I thought it was impossible for a Shazam fan to refer to him as Shazam? :P

Fine with me. It's a long ongoing debate that I have with @saint_wildcard. I do not try to convince him or anyone. I'm just trying to understand.People who recognized MoS as a good incarnation of Superman are a real, honest mystery for me. Around me (IRL I mean) everybody agree with my point of view, but all of us are/were probably way too old for MoS. No dream attached to this SH. I'm sorry but I love my wife, my kids, my life, my job and I prefer my steak big, fatty, medium rare, and my superman as a perfect guy.

Red Son Superman.

Calvin Ellis the Superman of Earth-23

Black Zero (adult alternate version of Superboy)
