[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]I don't intend to reinvent the wheel, but I'm harkening back to his early appearances in the comics by having him be generally mysterious as opposed to being everyone's friend who's already earned the public's trust. He's been saving people since he was a teenager, more or less doing the Superboy thing, but has only started wearing the suit and going by the other moniker for a year. Otherwise, people have only really known him as a powerful gust of wind, a streak of red and blue, or the rare eyewitness account - like any cryptid or alien sighting, but on an active scale. 

The big change I want to make is to move the action away from Metropolis. Lois is actively covering LexCorp's misdeeds, and Lex has taken the company worldwide. So she and Clark are on assignment out of the country, far too busy to focus on one city. By expanding the scope of the adventures, I want to make whenever they do appear in Metropolis be that much more meaningful. Clark hasn't even actually set roots there, he's still staying on the farm back at home on the rare occasion he isn't saving the world or doing his job as a reporter.

Another change I want to make is that, apart from Ma and Pa, Superman has nobody in his corner right now. Lois has been burned too many times by powerful people claiming to be benevolent, so she's a skeptic. Jimmy is nobody's pal at first, acting as a rival of Lois and Clark while freelancing through Flamebird, an indie news outlet. And Lex is Lex - the sooner this interloper is burned to ash, the better. 

Clark Kent, glasses edition, is the side of him that'll develop interpersonal relationships. He's still a little new to the Planet, tagging along with Lois as she travels across the world on a tear to unseat Luthor from power. Clark is the one who really develops as the core of who Superman is.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]It's always fun to revisit Superman every couple of years and I feel like this time, I have a take that is more interaction friendly. Since I want to stress Clark not being focused on saving Metropolis more than the world itself, he can appear anywhere at basically any time and lend a hand. And it feeds into the ongoing narrative to have him do that, since if he appeared strictly in the places Lois and Clark are stationed, he'd arouse suspicion. My hope is that I can develop him and his supporting cast to a point that I can tell interesting stories with everyone, not just Superman, and start to go places that the comics either haven't or have barely tackled.

As for the narrative, LexCorp is up to no good and powerful enemies are born as a result of that no-gooded-ness. But there may be others that look to try and oppose LexCorp with a more destructive approach, forcing Superman to have to step in and stop the world's most powerful man... and sometimes protect him.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][sub]__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________[/sub][right][color=0e95e3][sup][i]"Truth.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent][i]Starrstruck. The youngest and most sensationalist news journal based out of Hub City, Illinois, putting out a plethora of podcasts, daily web articles, and a weekly physical newspaper all covering everything from local events and regional sports to political exposes and true crime. One of the most popular columns in the last year has been [u][b]In Search Of With Sage[/b][/u], written by up and coming star Vic Sage. In the column, published biweekly both online and in the paper, Sage covers the history of the occult and paranormal in Hub City and the rest of Cowan County as well as investigating strange occurrences throughout the county for himself.[/i]

In his day job, Vic delves into esoteric history books, conducts interviews with experts, and heads out into the field, all in search of the truth behind the myths and legends of Illinois. At night, he dons his faceless mask to investigate the supernatural underbelly of Hub City and the surrounding towns in Cowan County, occasionally crossing paths with the criminal element as well.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]This is not the Question as we know him, fighting street crime and political corruption. This is the Question as I've always wanted to write him, tackling the occult and paranormal in the vein of Carl Kolchak from [i]Kolchak The Night Stalker[/i] or Mulder and Scully from [i]The X-Files[/i]. There will be hints of his typical comic escapades, occasionally busting up a bodega burglar or taking out a local mob outfit, but these will be rarer occurrences in favor of leaning more into supernatural horror. Cults worshiping forgotten pagan deities, isolated towns with dark secrets, ghosts and voodoo and maybe even scary aliens. The sky's the limit.

I will mostly be telling self contained stories (wouldn't be a one universe game if I wasn't playing with my toys by myself), but I am open to collaborations and crossovers if myself and the other player(s) are able to come up with something cool.
