Red Son Superman

“He goes completely over board”
*makes sure every man woman and child gets 8 hours of sleep

*Fun fact:* Red Son Superman would later reappear in the Convergence event with an important role, in which he fights Golden Age Robin and Huntress

This story was without a doubt one of the best "What if...?" stories ever written. That said, I wonder what a meeting between Red Son and N*zi Superman would be like

"Timothy. You are one minute past your bed time"
*shazam's him*

[sowergamingbro]

"Finally realizing that mankind was perfect the way it was without him" Bruh they were giving humanity way too much credit.

Unironically the best variant of Superman if he could’ve just chilled a bit and not become the earth’s dictator. Like, bro wasn’t just a crime fighter, he literally put an end to systemic injustices the world round. With a little tweaking, he could’ve been perfect fr

This version of Superman is way better than the others. He basically solved every problem in the world. Honestly, if I was Superman I do the same.

* Takes Control of the World *
* Prevents crime *
* Gives everyone their basic necessities *
* Doesn't elaborate *
* "Dies" *
What a gigachad.

A dystopia where all basic needs are taken care off!!! The horror!

[zacharybinning]

No matter who he’s raised by. He still remains to be a good person

[crimsonion]

Dont forget he is also related to luthor cause he was sent back in time and is the son of one of luthors descendent. Earth was gonna be destroyed in same manor as krypton but in order to save his kid and prevent the destruction of the planet he sends the kid back in time which under a yellow sun gives him powers. So basically red son superman is a descendent of luthor and the comic is essentially a fight between which luthor can take over the world first. Still an amazing comic.

[thebedroomshow]

One of the most chill and uplifting stories yet

[bullymaguire]

People in the regular dc universe: constant crime, threat of death daily
People in the “dystopian” dc universe: getting 8 hours of sleep, everyone has a job, has food, no crimes, technologically advanced.

[migg]

The man literally defunded himself and watched the crime rate go up.

[hakimdiwan]

This was surprisingly wholesome, I wasn't expecting Soviets Superman to end up better than American Superman.

[magomandrake]

"Humans can't survive without the thrills of crime, violence and the fight for food and resources"

That sounds like a desing flaw.

[architech]

Goes to show how good at heart Superman is

[zachhenson]

I thought this story was gonna be darker but nope, arguably this is the better story route

[Thebat]

Its like giving the cure to cancer and then be like nah they're chill without it i'mma take it back
