any superman clone who happens to be a huge dick and jerkass and psychopath bastard? or the nature of their own universe just doesnt allow that to be possible..
>>152568101Ultraman and the sentry?
>>152568788is sentry a dick?altho realistically speaking, if any of them were like homelander, there would be dozens of dead bodies and carnage, but you dont see that shit happen in marvel or dc, so.. where does that leave us?? zod is said to be like thragg yet you dont see zod gore like you see thragg gorestuff like this makes it look like homelander, thragg, etc are actually STRONGER because they actually cause damage. they actually leave rivers of corpses and stuff
>>152568884wait why did i mentioned thragg, he is not earth heroes or anything likeplutonian my guy
>>152568916I didn't read that book, but the synopsis that i did read sounds like the whole story is basically bad guy keeps winning until Deus Ex Machina suddenly happens. Is that true because that sounds annoying.>>152568101Count Nefarina. He's got superman level powers and has never been a good guy.
>>152569047i liked irredemeemable the characters were actually interesting and the stakes/dilenma and forces were genuineyes plutonian went bad but he isnt that le ebin evil xdd as other evil superman clones are. It touches pyschological stuffI dont know what Deus Ex Machina is. bah i might know, i dont remember, i dont care, but i know that thats some pussy ass term
>>152568101yes
>>152568884It also wouldnt be as impactful because the reason Homelander is scary is because there's nobody at his power level to match him. In Marvel or DC there's tons, so they'd just take him dow.
>>152568101>>152568788>SentryI think you mean Hyperion, at least one version of him
>>152568101Superman fights Homelander in DC Boss Battle 1. Don't expect it to not be anticlimactic though. But maybe he'll make a return. I think they said it had potential for more spin-offs.
>>152569841yeah?
>>152571449no
>>152568101I guess the closest thing would be Cyborg Supes (Henshaw version). A madman with all of Superman's power and none of his values
>>152573061>>152570748as i was reading dc ko i was curious about this superboy prime. they (the characters) all say he did atrocities. how is that?
>>152569047yeah imo the second half really goes off the rails, qubit has the chance to kill him and doesn't when they are fighting the demon, they keep implying charybdis (who gets a massive power buff for plot convenience) is worse than him when it's not really shown, and then the prison planet - his parents being near omnipotent beings residing in a nuclear facility sending him to the heat death of the universe - qubit trapping modeus in his head to gain the knowledge necessary to save the planet, killing him in the process but gaining redemption and seeding him into the multiverse leading to the creation of superman sucked imoI much preferred "what if superman was all too human, overwhelmed by failure and betrayal and people needing too much from him"
>>152568101Preus, especially when Austen was writing him. After Godfall he goes to a rural area and becomes a religious zealot that a bunch of hicks followed and he was literally fucking women to death because he's as powerful as Superman.
>>152568788>>152568884Sentry is more a Gary Stu that current readers cope about being a good characters.The Ben scene trying to act that has more morality than the fucking Thing is retarded, would be if they create a character in DC teaching Wally about morality(Fuck you King)
>>152573416Preus ironically could work in the current Superman runs or even in a movie instead of Zod.Surprise they barely use many post crisis villains , some like Mr Z,Dominus, Preus or even the Russian Zod could work well
>>152570748>Homelander actually survives a punch and can punch backLolThe issue should have been Superman trolling him all fight.
>>152573092It's been a while, so bear with me. In the Infinite Crisis event, Prime, along with Earth-3 Lex Luthor Jr. and Earth-Two Superman and Lois, escape limbo and find their way to the main DC universe. Prime works with Jr. to recreate the perfect Earth since this new one was a failure in their eyes. This brings him into confrontation with Earth's heroes, some of which he kills, including Superboy Conner Kent, some Teen Titans, and the original Superman from Earth-Two. After being defeated, he would return periodically alongside the Sinestro Corps and the Legion of Super-Villains and cause a lot of trouble for DC's heroes
omni man xd
>>152569157>I dont know what Deus Ex Machina is. bah i might know, i dont remember, i dont care, but i know that thats some pussy ass termGoof fucking lord you sound legitimately retarded. Amerishart "education" is the worst.
>>152568101> superman clone who happens to be a huge dick and jerkass and psychopath bastard? My friend, you have just discovered the concept of a supervillain.
>>152568101Hyperion from Marvel comics, a member of "Squadron Supreme" who are all parodies of the Justice League just like The Seven. There are multiple versions of him from alternative universes, some who are outright villains, some who are arrogant jerks but still heroes, and others who are a mix. I'm sure after The Boys, more than one writer has probably done the "fake hero with a lot of good publicity" thing if it hadn't been done already.
>>152568101DC has explored the concept an Evil Superman multiple times, in many different ways. Everybody knows about Bizarro (who is good, but stupid) but there's a bunch of other takes.>William Dunn, a mad scientist from Jerry Siegel's 1933 short story "The Reign of the Superman", which actually predates the original Superman comic, meaning Supes was a villain before he was a hero.>Ultraman, Superman's evil counterpart from Earth 3, a parallel universe where good and evil roles are switched>Overman, an evil version of Superman from a world where the Nazis won WW2>Cyborg Superman, a delusion robot who believes he's the "real" Superman and causes destruction trying to copy him>Justice Lord Superman, who became a dictator and turned the world into a police state after being driven mad by the death of his friend, The Flash.>Injustice Superman, who is the same deal except it was when Joker killed everyone at the Daily Planet>Superboy Prime, a version of Superboy from the "real world" who got mixed up in a crazy continuity loop that breaks the 4th wall. Recently had a redemption arc IIRC>"Super Dickery" Superman, a fan nickname for the version of Superman on all the buybait covers of Silver Age comics who was always doing evil shit like pic related
