What if Kryptonians looked more.
You know. "Alien" and shit.
How'd that have affected the Kents finding an invincible alien baby in a starship?
Isn't that manhunter origin?
>>81954133
I honestly have no idea.
Imagine if Clark looked like a giant jellyfish but just putting on glasses still fooled people.
>>81954317
you just described Octo-dad
>>81953422
Go away, Landis/Diaz.
>>81954317
>He's a giant squid I tell ya! A squid!!
>>81953422
Jor-El would have sent him to a different planet where he'd have a better chance of blending in
>>81954317
I would love to see this. I feel like it's probably already been done. Has it?
>>81954395

octodad superman sounds amazing, would read/watch
If Superman was aquatic would Aquaman be able to control him?
>>81954342
But Octodad is just a normal guy, no need to be an asshole and attack his appearance.
>>81954354
>What're ya talkin' about? Clark wears glasses! Squids don't wear glasses.
Then Jor-El would not have sent him to Earth.
>>81954565
Aquaman can control pretty much anything if he tries hard enough actually.
>>81954317
So basically if Chicken Boo had superpowers.
>>81954353
>Implying Landis doesn't know his comics.
Garbage movie-guy, all around shitty person, and he needs another writer to reign him in better but honestly Max Landis has potential to be a 10/10 cape writer.
>>81953422
Depends
If Baby Kal still had the appearance of a harmless baby albeit an inhuman harmless baby in a way the Kents could understand then they'd raise him in secrecy.
If Baby Kal can convey he's harmless than the Kents would probably treat him as some pet until they realize he's capable of sapient thought.
If baby Kryptonians look and act like Xenomorphs however Kal probably better be ready for a gauge to the ribcage
>>81954423
Couldn't someone just slap some glasses and a newspaper onto that image?
He's already got tea or something.

I bet it'd go something like this.

Like this.
But HEROIC.

10/10.
Do this for Superman!

This would be amazing.

You know, you could get away with it, since Superman is raised in Kansas in the proverbial 1960's. No one bats an eye towards the weird person if they end up growing up with it.
>"It's just the Kent's weird kid at the kindergarten."
>"That Kent kid always looked weird to me, but he's got good grades and hasn't gotten into any trouble like your last boyfriends Lana. Fine, he can take you to the dance."
>"He isn't an illegal alien, Johnson. Boy grew up just down the street from my cousin. Hey, his feathers are more red, white, and blue than you'll ever be."
>"Hey, don't say anything about Clark. He looks a little funny, but no one I'd rather have as a wingman during frat parties. I can trust him 100%"
>"Jeez Louis, you keep seeing Superman everywhere! Just sit down and get some food, not every feathered American you see is possibly Superman. I mean, look at Clark. He's nice and all, but he really should think about working out those thighs."
>>81953422
I honestly want a version of superman that looks almost human but not quite. Little, subtle details on the outside, more major ones inside.
Maybe he has twice as many teeth but they're just smaller, or maybe he has three eyelids. Maybe his ribcage is in his abdomen and his chest is the flexible part

Why do so many artists draw Wondy's hair like that? Long and shaggy out the back but all short at the front. They give her a super long, jagged mullet!
That's Icon's origin.
Don't feel bad, it took me a few hours to even remember his name.
>>81954680
>Aquaman can control pretty much anything if he tries hard enough actually.
He tried to control the Negro.

The Nicholas Cage movie really should have happened
>>81958732
thats just hair man
you dont know what a mullet is

Based on the thread title I imagined this to be a thread about Karl Pilkington as Super Man, I'm disappointed

She's really grinding those hips together, poor alien chick.

>>81960659
Karl: So there's this little fella runnin' around some city in America, Gotham I think, saving lives.
Ricky: Oh, this MAN, is going around saving people in Gotham, yeah, yeah.
Karl: Yeah so right, 'e's runnin' after this one lad who had makeup on and that, and he trips, and the kid wi' makeup on takes his mask off.
Ricky: Oh and there was a man under there? a billionaire hiding his identity.
Karl: No, no, he was a little monkey fella.
Steve: Hahahahaha
Ricky: KARL WE'RE NEVER DOING THIS AGAIN!

How are they supposed to raise a baby that doesn't look like it could be sentient or even produce human language out of any hole?
PA would have called the feds or shot it.
This isn't a very long discussion. They wouldn't raise anything that wasn't at least humanoid.
Aside from the fact that one of the reasons Kale was sent to earth is the similarities between species.
>>81960907
>That's not how X-rays work you TWAT
It kind of is though.
>>81963558
>>81960907
I agree.
He sees X-rays that are going through us all the time revealing the insides of most things.
>>81963624
Of all Superman's powers, that's probably the least far fetched. The most basic explanation for it is that his eyes just detect a wider section of the electromagnetic spectrum than ours do.

I knew Kale was too good a food to eat.
>>81963516
>>81953422
Simple: the Kryptonians use nebulous super science to give Karl-el disguise abilities. He can also shapechange (slightly) giving some better reason as to why no one recognizes Clark as Superman.
Plus you can have a great scene where Luthor sees his true form and freaks the fuck out.
>>81960819
>So they open up the rocket from Krypton, yeah. And inside there's this little monkey in a cape
>STOP TALKING SHIT
>>81953422
I'm tired of this kind of bullshit.
Superman would never work like that you fucking child. He's not just an Alien he's a symbol. He is the way he is to tell stories based on themes about humanity you stupid dumb fuck.
I'm tired of this bullshit meme that aliens need to be insane fart cloud squids or whatever. It's as bad as people equating the idea of a modern Christian god to things like thor or using Lovecraft logic to make them seem unknowable when in reality they are based on very basic human themes and ideas from our species history.
>>81967460
Isn't he more of a Moses/Jesus analogy then anything?
Wonder if they'll ever go the Noah way and have him build a giant space arc to save humanity or something.
>>81957988
WW is about to get her tits bit off.
>>81967566

Well he was created by two Jews so I doubt it. That's more of an invention of live action movies
>Look Jonathan, it's a bab... Oh wait, it's just some alien abomination.
>Damn, Martha, you're right, let's call the feds.
Alternatively
>Look Jonathan, it's some kind of alien... thing. Let's keep it, for no apparent reason.
>[Kal-El died of starvation 4 days later, Kansas farmers generally being poor specialists in xenonutrition]
>>81967460
who peed in your coffee, anon?
>>81953422
What if they designed their baby to look human and them sent him to the Earth?
>>81953422
Jorl-El would have sent him to a different planet.
>>81967460
>I'm tired of this bullshit meme that aliens need to be insane fart cloud squids or whatever
i agree with you but given our knowledge now there's no excuse to make aliens that look like boring humans unless you can rationalize it in setting.
