Someone decided to marathon "Star Wars" before they started writing, huh.

Or George Lucas read a deal of Jack Kirby before 1977.

I dig the hell out of this Elseworld. It's highly underrated.

Yea, I feel it was one of the stronger Superman elseworlds.

Granted they pretty much all end up with 'and then he becomes Superman in the end,' but this one earned it, and does a lot with the New Gods I liked, they're much more front-and-center than normal.

Agreed.

Almost all Superman elseworld type stories have him became Superman in the end, but this was well executed. I liked this far better than Red Son.

Like, it had a progression throughout the story and not simply a revelation at the end.

Okay, that armour is badass as shit. Can normal Superman wear a good guy version of it?

Probably not, but have you ever seen the suit he wore in Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey? That was pretty badass too, and it's as close as I can think of to an example of what you are looking for.

Not posted is where Darkseid mentions the armor channels yellow sun radiation to Kal-El, hence why he has powers.

And yet he only gains his full powers after the suit is destroyed.

Of course, Darkseid doesn't want him too strong.

I think Apokolips lacks the same type of sunlight?

Holy shit i was just thinking of this Elseworlds earlier this week. I was desperate to find the panel with that quote "The War will end when Destroyer becomes Savior" . One of the first Elseworlds i ever read and I loved it.

Thanks for posting this :)
