If he...He's certainly not an alien, though. If he's on this list, then so is Booster Gold.<br /><br />(Looking more closely at the original list, Wonder Woman and Namor are also questionable. And why in the world Namor and not Art Curry?)<br /><br />Actually, I'm a splitter at heart, and I'd really want to divide this category between the Last Children of a Dying World, the Ambassadors, and the Exiles.Jeff R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-12465686422792649782013-06-17T19:53:23.573-03:002013-06-17T19:53:23.573-03:00He's from an alternate future timeline, which ...He's from an alternate future timeline, which is a little closer.American Hawkmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-56708897177374744592013-06-17T19:45:37.235-03:002013-06-17T19:45:37.235-03:00Samaratan is from the future, which, while it may ...Samaratan is from the future, which, while it may be another country, isn't quite another planet.Jeff R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-65769184404401560942013-06-17T07:33:37.097-03:002013-06-17T07:33:37.097-03:00I think it's interesting that of all the chang...I think it's interesting that of all the changes Byrne made in the reboot, subtly subverting the baby rocketed to earth ended up changing the character the most.<br /><br />A.) Being born when the gestational chamber opens in Kansas makes Clark officially a US citizen (Kryptonian Anchor baby!)<br /><br />B.) No superpowers until he was 18 empowers the adoptee/immigrant factor of his, because having superpowers from birth would clue him in on his "otherness"<br /><br />C.) Super powered teen is a horror movie waiting to happen. Zundianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11681590152103237291noreply@blogger.com
