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.

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.
