    Sorry to be off topic here, but there is a current version of Superman that takes him totally back to his roots of opposition to societal oppression: https://readallcomics.com/category/absolute-superman/

    A Krypton stratified by strict class division (the ‘S’ stands for the worker class, the lowest class on Krypton). Kal-El actually grew up with his birth parents - Kal is about 10 -12 years old when Krypton explodes. Jor-El and Lara both class traitors, exiled from the science class to the worker class and fight for their fellow workers. Once Kal-El reaches Earth he barely spends time with the Kents, while helping workers around the world.

    So far, Absolute Superman has been a trip to read.

      Yes! It’s a fantastic series. I especially liked that they had Kal going around the globe and helping out various worker struggles in secret at the beginning of the series. It’s my favorite current Superman book right now. I just finished reading the latest issue earlier today. I’m excited to see where they’ll take it.
