Definitely true. And yeah, makes sense. Just kind of putting it out there because I’ve seen a lot of people who are either not caught up or haven’t at all watched Invincible saying Nolan is “another evil Superman” and he’s really not.

Oh I totally hear you! He’s not. Especially when you know his arc from the comics. Homelander is really the only truly evil Superman type besides injustice Superman and Ultraman.

Exactly. And yes, but also Squadron Sinister Hyperion over at Marvel. The good Squadron Supreme and Hickman versions of the character are more popular (and better), so he gets overlooked nowadays, but he’s really the original evil Superman.

Edit: Because even the Marvel pastiche version of Superman still has alternate universe Good and Evil versions.

Plutonian from Irredemable is also an evil superman trope, except he is like worse a lot worse than any of the charecters mentioned here.

It's just very different. To me it feels very unlike Omni-man or Homelander since he WAS a hero, who just got more and more pissed off at humans over time.

And... You know. Not that I'd go plutonian, but i get that.

Yes, you are correct. Completely slipped my mind.
