After letting the decision stew a bit and listening to others' reasoning, I'm gonna cast my vote for [@Morden Man]. I think his concept gels just a little better with the overall universe, which only makes sense considering he's the architect of it all. Like [@Vandy], I am a little worried that this Supes is coming across a bit [I]too[/I] political, too sharp-edged, but I trust Morden's ability to get me to buy into it with time.

[@Gowi], I love your Superman. Janitorial duties and facial hair preferences aside, he's classic. And in most RPGs, that's exactly what I'd gravitate towards with Big Blue. I did worry, though, that you had introduced a bit too much history. The Kryptonian invasion, for instance, feels like something that should happen "onscreen," as it were. However, as I said above, it's ultimately just the slightly better fit between character and universe that gave Morden the edge.

However the vote plays out, I can't wait to see what the other has in their back pocket.
