Like many, many comic aficionados out there I just finished reading Flashpoint #3 Wednesday evening along with Fear Itself #4, and I was wondering what everyone thinks of Superman’s role in Flashpoint? The last panel of Flashpoint #3 and the Project Superman tie-in definitely pose some interesting questions to readers.
To recap, Kal-El crash landed in Metropolis as a baby (killing thousands) and has been held captive underground by the government for decades thus negating his powers due to the lack of sunlight. Within the pages of Flashpoint #3 the Flash, Batman, and Cyborg break Kal-El out of his prison and Superman ends up escaping out of the darkness and into the light by embracing his abilities to fly and heat vision almost immediately upon release and exposure to the sunlight.
Will Superman be corrupted because of his captivity? Will he just naturally enforce justice due to his inherent character? Basically it breaks down to a nature vs nurture debate. Nevertheless, I would love to hear everyone’s input; whether it be support for the numerous theories out there or a completely new idea that no one has thought of yet I would love to read about it. To further the thought process here is some Project Superman eye candy:
