    @the_kidd: Almeracians are related to Kryptonians, problem solved with easy writing.

    For a xenophobic race, kryptonians sure had many cousins :P

    @squalleon: Also easily written off using the MoS exploration age of Krypton when Kryptonians were space travelers before a ship returned bringing a great plague to Krypton that made them fear intergalactic space travel and non-Kryptonian life forms.

    They discontinued all space travel and communication with their other colonies in space after that. Simple writing.

    Also, as far as Superman not needing anyone for space, we both agree that the Superman family has to be expanded and fleshed out. Instead of creating a new character for Superman to go on a space adventure with, why not use one that some Superman fans already like?

    Its the line between fan-fic and actual writing that mostly worries me.

    I don't again disagree but you are constantly deflecting my point what would a relationship with Maxima bring to the table. She can be comedy relief without the relationship, she can be a member of the family without being with Supes like she was pre-52, she can be a supporting character without the romance. So what does the romance bring to the table that isn't already there?

    Like Faora Maxima is a nutjob. No I don't think it is in Clark's character to fall for a psychopath or narcissist who couldn't give a crao about what Clark cares about because she is hot or can carry a kid.

    @squalleon: Okay, the thing is, I only agree with one of your relationship points.

    - You will have her question his morals (done with Diana, check).

    I don't think they've ever had Diana question her morales. Tomasi tried it, but he quickly dropped that plot point after his first issue. Wonder Woman fans don't want Diana to be misguided so Superman can look more heroic, and I see and agree with them. I don't like it when Superman is compromised for Batman, I don't expect them to enjoy their favorite character to be treated the same way.

    - Fight together as instead of "needing saving" (check)

    That I agree with.

    - Challenge their relationship by having her do something that Superman wouldn't.

    Like the first, I don't see what Diana has done that Clark hasnt agreed with. Plus, Maxima isn't as white a character as Diana and she has more flaws for Superman to disagree with.

    You can just have more fun with Diana than you could for Superman.

    I don't think Tomasi dropped that plot because of fans. Especially since issues are usually written way before the previous comes out. But knowing you I won't try to reason in things like these :P

    But Soule and Tomasi subtly try to see show the clash of morals. But they didn't have the time with all those crossovers the title is into to.

    I personally am a bit biased because of their pre-52 interactions, with the killing of Max Lord etc So I have seen the things you can do with Diana and that Maxima doesn't offer anything new in those areas.

    You're mistaking me here. I didn't argue that Maxima should be in relationship with Supes, I was talking about her character potential.

    Oh, okay. But anyway almost any character can become interesting if you change them to their core. Maxima can but when people talk about her, they focus on her relationship with Supes rather than making her interesting, hence my assumptions. And I don't see her adding anything new in that context except comedy relief.

    I myself don't see them together.

    I don't mean it as changing her core, I just mean this as developing her character more and fleshing out her world.

    @superguy1591: It's her. There's always been multiple Bizzaro's running around, nothing new there. I seriously doubt they'll do anything like that with her. Even disregarding her orientation, she's Kara's age now so 16 or so, way to young for Clark. I'm sure when Kara gets a new ongoing (because we all know she will) we'll see her again.

    I get that you like the idea of her and Clark hooking up, I myself was a fan of the idea. But barring some huge sweeping change to canon it's extremely unlikely that it's going to happen.

    @wwq3:

    I think it was hilarious when Maxima wanted to have children with Superman and the fact that she was furious every time he turned her down. Do you think they should have gotten together?

    Actually, it already happened. Them ending up together.

    It happened in Elseworld's. Has you can see in the picture bellow.

    But still I wouldn't mind if DC gave it another shot. If they really intend on separating Kal and Diana, they could at least consider Maxima has a next option.

    I know DC would never consider that an option, not that it's a bad one, but because they got their a***** fired up because of the sales numbers in Convergence. More specifically the one's that involved pregnant Lois and Superman. So they'll go with the numbers and give the middle finger to the fans that don't want those two back together again (for the hundred time).

    Maxima is my second favorite character when it comes to whom he should be with.

    She has spunk that is certain and who does not love spunk.

    That said you cannot beat Wonder Women when it comes to class , spunk and drive and a heart of gold.

    So I do not see him leaving for second favorite anytime soon.

    But she is a hard act to beat.

    Well... Lets have a look at the two of them in the New 52.

    In here we have Lourdes. She's one hell of a warrior, the full extent of her powers are unknown, but they seems magic based. And her body... I'm sweating a river here :-)

    And here is Maxima. Still a badass, seemed a lot weaker than in the previous versions, also she looks like she's maybe Kara age or a little older. Which for Superman, this could not do. They would have to maybe mature her image a little, so she could fit more in the relationship status. But there's potential.

    Either one, is a better choice than Lois by a long shot.

    Always liked Maxima. Not sure she's relationship material, even if short-term, but I wouldn't mind seeing that possibility explored. Can't be much more of a shocker than Arisia and Hal Jordan, if we manage to look past our 21st century geocentric views on sexual maturity et al.

    As for Lourdes, girl needs a name change before any further appearances can even be considered.

    I like the idea of Superman and Maxima hooking up. That old Armageddon story from an Adventures of Superman annual in 1991 where Superman leaves Earth and hooks up with Maxima is a classic IMO.

    Since they live on different planets, I don't think their relationship would be very long-term. But there could certainly be a few cool stories to tell.

    If I were to keep Maxima as a villain, I'd like to do a story where she seduces Superman while keeping secret an ulterior motive (ie colonize earth and enslave humanity or drain our oceans or something epic like that) so Superman is sleeping with the enemy, so to speak. Eventually, he looks behind the curtain and sees what her sinister plans are and realizes he has to stop her and her armies by any means necessary ...
