A rewrite of my first story, "Superman Man of Steel." The growing Clark Kent is hailed and challenged by dangerous forces to prove humanity's worth. This test will put him up against rich men, corrupt men, monsters, and many forces of evil that will test even his own relationship with humanity. In the end, his actions are what decides the fate of everyone on earth and... krypton? (I do not own any of these characters. All rights to these characters go to Warner bros, Dc Entertainment Inc., and Warner Communication LLC.) 1. Superman Begins: Part I 2. Batman The Tragedy (Earth 824 Phase 1) 3. Superman Begins: Part II

Parts of phase one of my DC universe, these stories share a brief summary of the canonical events that a few of the core members of my Justice League have experienced. Along with those tales is some background information concerning the history of this universe and its heroes.

The story of this Earth's first human Green Lantern, Hal Jordan. Based off his origin from the comics and The Green Lantern animated series, Hal has been chosen by the ring of Abin Sur to face a powerful threat against the universe. But not only would he face intergalactic threats. Hal is forced to make a decision to choose between his responsibility and his personal wants in life.

Following the events of "World's Apart," Batman holds himself accountable for Superman's current predicament. He is obligated to make things right. With the aid of Martian Manhunter and Wonder Woman, the trio would set out on a quest to heal Superman from his critical condition. It all goes on array, though, resulting in a Superman with no memories and the release of Zod from the Phantom Zone. For situations like these, the trio would need the aid of another (Green Lantern). The unity of these heroes would end up creating the very thing the world needs, protectors. Would they be enough, is the question.
