Type: Alternate Earth Analog
As timelines collapsed in Zero Hour, Superman came across a very different Metropolis whose hero was Alpha Centurion. Not really a strange visitor from another planet, Marcus Aelius was a Roman soldier who ENCOUNTERED a strange visitor from another planet, a visitor who took him into space, gave him great technology and trained him for 10 years. 10 relativistic years, while 2000 passed on Earth. When he returned, he saved a certain space plane, becoming Metropolis' champion and Lois Lane's lover, as well as putting his stamp on the world by marketing some of his alien tech. Where our Metropolis has the L-shaped LexCorp building, this timeline had the A-shaped headquarters of the Alpha Centurion where he kept his pool of health-regenerating Aquavitae and his lovely attendants. Let's just say he didn't need to die before they built of statue of this guy.
He joined Superman and the other heroes in the fight against Extant and Parallax during Zero Hour and was rewarded by becoming part of continuity for a while, and even getting his own special. Shoulda helped out during Flashpoint, dude.
