what if superman's powers came form him praying to a god. the god's name is Super and thats how he got the name Superman also why he wears the symbol "S" on his chest its the symbol of the god Super and its means hope(got that form man of steel). Clark Kent was a regular man until he broke a ancient table and Super came out and thanking Clark Kent for saving him and for saving him the god said that "I can grant you superpowers as long as you pray to me" since Clark Kent love to save people without superpowers he Thought "why not" so he staring praying to the god Super. and Superman grains more power if he pays to the god Super. superman has to pray to him every three days our he starts loosing his powers.the reason for this because Super will only allow one person with superpowers. in the made up dc mythology I just made now,Super is god that gains power when people every day that are wishing for hope or want hopeful things to happen to them.like when this person says ' I HOPE she goes out with me".by them doing that are really praying to Super. Tell me what you guys think?and if somebody made this up already that really sucks.

Sounds like you're confused. Batwest and Robin are the original holy characters. At least you're not the only person to get something wrong:

i don't get what you mean by you saying 'Sounds like you're confused'.it sounds like to me that your saying that batwest and robin pray to a god named bat and robin to get there abilities, because that's what i did with superman, how is that saying that i am confused?

@renzoa: It was a joke regarding the old batman & robin tv show (the 60's one with Adam West). In moments of shock or awe Robin would always say to batman holy ___ batman! It's less funny if I have to explain the entire context of the joke to you.

That being said I don't like the idea because it sounds like a very generic origin pitch. People have been doing champion of the gods stories since the earliest parts of human history. If you do this superman is no different than Shazam (i.e. Magic Superman who gets his powers from a god). The genie in the table thing sounded original but pretty much everything you mentioned has been done before. I can't see how any of it could actually improve the character. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

It's the DC equivalent of Marvel's "what if" stories

Super isn't a great name for a god unless this is the golden age.
