Let himself get beat up for the bit, that's dedication.

(based on the animated movie superman vs the elite)

Nah but y'all don't understand the full scale of that damn plan. The entire fight was livestreamed worldwide. Clark had the entire god damn PLANET fooled. For a whole 10 minutes everyone thought they were watching The Superman, a man known for his unbendable morals, kill 4 people and make hundreds others into collateral on international Live TV.

And then he pulled a 'gotcha lol'

Capes…

What's so funny about Truth, Justice & The American Way?

[but-a-humble-goon]

I'd be fascinated to see Manchester Black turn up in My Adventures with Superman. He's a great antithesis to Superman as it is but I feel like he would especially speak to the entire mission statement of this show.

Made some meme/text post edits for some friends, decided some of the Manchester ones work out of context just as well, so take em.

Hear me out buddy: a short comic about the super sons telling each other their traumas ;)

That would be amazing actually they have lots of parallels with trauma and they don’t get to explore them often like Damian growing up in the league and dieing

And Jon killing his cat when he first discovers his powers or him getting mind controlled by Manchester black

Superman And The Authority (2022).

[jonathan-samuel-smith]

"Mom taught me that while I might have a hard time describing just what a hero is... I'll know it when I see it. And I sure as heck see it in you."

"thank you for everything, for your words... And your actions" hard line says.

"your world's lucky to have heroes like you" buck shot says.

"well, I don't really consider myself a--" Jon says

Jon! You're breaking my heart! You don't consider yourself a hero? You can see it in them and Damian but not yourself? That's so sad!

I guess after the Manchester Black thing went down he sees the darkness inside himself and is harsher on himself than others.

Gary Mitchell was a Mutant, then, right? Like if he'd been born a few centuries earlier, he'd be a Brotherhood of Mutant?

It is a relatively common mutation for Mutants to get to turn them into very powerful psychics, but non-Mutant psychics, ESPers, are still their own thing too. Gary Mitchell's power was vastly amplified by cosmic radiation at the Galactic Barrier, similar to Franklin Richards being stronger thanks to strange energies inherited from his parentage. Before that Gary was on the lower end of the human ESPer spectrum. Flashes of insight, not much more.

For 21st century examples you could look to Manchester Black, Maxwell Lord, Psimon, the Leader (albeit very weak before getting Gamma-amped), Franklin Richards (as mentioned), and April O'Neil, among many more.

But at the time these were all considered random, isolated cases with unknown/misattributed origins to their abilities. Real in-depth scientific study around ESPers as a group at large tracing the common qualities between them wouldn't come until the early United Earth years after the Post-Atomic Horrors.

ESPers do have their own historical bigotry, though. While in the 21st century Gary wouldn't join the Brotherhood, if he'd been born in that United Earth era before the founding of the Federation, he might have found himself being pressed into service with Psi Corps.
