A Superman Story - A Personal Reimagining

Starborn is my own take on Superman-a story I've always wanted to write. Inspired by the legendary mythos but shaped by the questions, moments, and emotional depth I've often wished DC would explore, this version dives into the heart of what makes Kal-El more than just a symbol.

From the fall of Krypton to the quiet strength of the Kent farm, from secrets buried in alien starlight to a boy grappling with a power he never asked for-this is a journey of identity, purpose, and belonging. It's not just about how Superman came to be... it's about why.

This story blends the familiar with the untold-giving space to moments I felt were missing, reimagining choices and consequences, and exploring the soul of a character who, before he could save the world, had to find out if he truly belonged to it.

If you've ever wanted a more personal, grounded, and emotionally rich look into the making of the Man of Steel-this is it.All Rights Reserved

Sons of Smallville by Subject-17-l1d

Sons of Smallville In the quiet town of Smallville, Kansas, two brothers grew up under the same roof - Clark Kent, the boy from the stars, and Y/N Kent, the boy with the heart of one. Raised on hard work, faith, and family, the Kent brothers share everything - except what makes them different. Clark hides powers he barely understands. Y/N hides doubts he can't explain. One was sent to Earth for a purpose. The other was born human... but carries a legacy written in the light of the cosmos. When a wave of strange, meteor-born events begins to rock Smallville, both brothers are drawn into a mystery that will test their loyalty, their strength, and the meaning of heroism itself. As Y/N searches for answers about his father's past and the mother who vanished among the stars, he starts to realize that destiny doesn't always fall from the sky. Sometimes, it's forged right here on Earth - in the hands of those who refuse to give up. > Two brothers. One town. A shared destiny. You don't need powers to be a hero... only the will to stand beside one.

BRAVE | YOUNG JUSTICE [1] by ReverseCanary

"I love you, Dad... But having Superman as your father and living in his shadow is... hard... I can't ever live up to that..." The daughter of Superman had one life goal, and that was to join the Justice League and fight alongside Earth's mightest heroes. However, when that day eventually comes and she discovers that it's just out of reach, Katherine Lane-Kent goes against her father's wishes and stumbes into an underground, experimentation laboratory. And that single mission, where she found a clone with major anger management issues, was the beginning of a team she'd soon form with friends she's known for years and picking up some new additions along the way. -Young Justice: S1- -Book One / ??? in the Young Justice Series- -Multiple OCs- -Completed- -MAJOR SLOW BURN-

Justice League: Generation Worth Millions by Vaaahhhl

The fate of the world falls into the hands of a partying Kryptonian, a moody clone, a time-traveling speedster, a nerd who can fight, a Martian who bakes, and a teenage girl in the middle of an existential crisis. Cool. -------- Krystal is the long lost daughter of Bruce Wayne, result of a one night stand the bachelor had while young and traveling abroad. When they are reunited, she struggles to adjust from street rat to billionaire. She finds comfort as Batgirl, but having Batman as a mentor can be a downer. Companionship with Robin and the other sidekicks to the Justice League are the silver lining she craves. When the Watch Tower is blown to bits, a shocking plot aiming to monetize the impressionable young heroes and destroy their beloved mentors arises. Behind it all is a figure from Krystal's past that paralyzes her between two times, two worlds, and two families. She can only choose one and must lose the other forever. NOTE: This is NOT a "Young Justice" story. It is loosely based on the original comics for each of the characters represented, the JLA comics (prior to New 52) and "Justice League Unlimited."

COINCIDENCE, clark kent. by FABULOUSLEE

"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞!" Fiona Starling never believed in fate. She trusted logic, facts and headlines, not destiny. As a hard-nosed journalist in Metropolis, her world was grounded in truth, not fantasy. So when Superman kept showing up to save her-again and again, even when danger wasn't near- she told herself it was just a coincidence. But those lingering glances... the way his touch stayed too long... the way her heart beat faster whenever he was near- it all felt like something more. And Fiona couldn't let it go. Determined to uncover the truth, she turns to the one man who seems to know everything about Superman: the quiet, insightful reporter Clark Kent. But as she digs deeper into the mystery, Fiona begins to uncover secrets. One in particular that could rewrite everything she thought she knew about Superman... and herself. Because some coincidences aren't coincidences at all. [clark kent/superman x fem!oc] [superman]

Avengers: Rise of The Last Son by ShadowFlame21

I do not own Marvel or DC, all rights belong to these two universes belong to Warner Bros. and Disney. 🌌 Avengers: Rise of the Last Son 🌌 Krypton is gone. A world of brilliance consumed by its own hubris, leaving only fire and ash. In its last breath, Jor-El and Lara sent their son across the stars - a child destined to outlive his people. He fell to Earth, where Jonathan and Martha Kent raised him not as a god, but as a man. They gave him a name: Cain Kent. He grew up burdened with the memory of a world lost, yet guided by the quiet strength of the Kents. Caught between two legacies, Cain was never meant to simply survive - he was meant to choose what kind of man, and what kind of symbol, he would become. When a cosmic fracture tears open the fabric of reality, two worlds collide: Earth's Mightiest Heroes and the Justice League. Both sides face Cain, uncertain of his place among them. At first, suspicion runs deep - how can anyone trust a being with the power to burn cities or shatter mountains? But where others see a weapon, the Avengers begin to see something more. They remember what brought them together in New York: not power, not fear, but trust. And in Cain's humanity, his restraint, and his willingness to stand beside them in battle, they find a new ally. Not an outsider. Not a threat. But one of them. The Justice League sees their brother returned. The Avengers see a comrade gained. And together, they begin to understand the truth: Cain Kent is more than Krypton's last son. He is the bridge between legends. The hope that unites divided worlds. The hero who proves that no matter where you come from, what matters is the choice to fight for something greater. Because when universes collide, when gods and mortals falter... it takes more than strength to save them. It takes trust. It takes the Last Son.

Into dust by heavntone

Iris Luthor never wanted to return to Smallville - the town that buried her father, the town that ruined everything she never had. After years of boarding school disasters, headlines, and whispered scandals in Metropolis, Iris is sent back to the one place she swore she'd never return. Her mother's last-ditch effort to get her back on track comes with strings: finish high school under the eye of her cousin, Lex Luthor, and keep a low profile. But Iris has never been good at quiet. Beneath the sarcasm and rebelliousness , Iris carries a secret no one knows, not even Lex. Ever since the meteor shower, strange things have followed her. Fires that spark from nothing. Rain that falls when she cries. Glass shattering without a touch. She's managed to keep it buried, blamed it on perfect coincidences. But Smallville has a way of revealing the truth. Especially when she crosses paths with Clark Kent, the golden boy of Smallville High. The two couldn't be more different. Clark is infuriatingly noble, frustratingly good, and sees right through Iris's walls. Iris is chaos, always pushing boundaries, and quick to challenge Clark's black-and-white sense of right and wrong. They clash instantly, she was a wildfire; he was the calm before the storm. But the more time they spend together, the more Iris sees that Clark is hiding something too. Something deep. Something impossible. And in a town full of secrets, maybe the only way to survive is to stop pretending they're normal at all. I do not own anything from Smallville except plotlines and characters i created

Through the Looking Glass | Superman and Lois by queendingaling

Nicole Kent was not of this world. No, literally. This was not her world. Her world was ending and she was thrusted through dimensions into a timeline where this Smallville, Kansas was as quiet as hers had once been. It didn't take very long for her to understand why she was here, though, and not back by her brother's side and fighting to stay alive, where she should've been. The same thing that was happening to her world was going to happen to this one if she didn't find this world's Superman and give him a heads up. She knew it wasn't going to be easy to see someone who looked like her dad but really wasn't, but she wasn't ready for just how similar this world's Superman's life was to the one she'd had before. "I hate to break it to you, Jordan," she responded. "But I'm not Alex and this isn't Wonderland." Still glued to his spot, he corrected her. "It's Alice in Wonderland." "Same difference." **Takes place two years after season 2 of Superman and Lois, but I started writing this before season 3 came out so it's not going to follow whatever plot line the writers have for this upcoming season. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS FROM THE SHOW. I ONLY OWN MY ORIGINAL CHARACTERS AND PLOT LINES!*** Book 1 of 2 Started: 1/12/23 Finished: 4/16/23

[Kal-El x reader] You are a scientist that is assigned to a top-secret government facility that houses an extraterrestrial subject to learn more about where he came from. In this he is not Clark Kent or Superman, just Kal-El. Martha and John did not find him, but the government did. **Originally posted on tumblr

Super Girl: The Unexpected Kryptonian (I) by Angel_CTH

I never given any thought to of being a hero. Let alone help Kara and Kal-El save a few dozen people, go through a breached portal from time to time and meet The Flash, Green Arrow, and Batwoman or even travel through time. I thought keeping a low profile at L-Corp would be easy but it has been anything but. I DO NOT OWN ANY CW & DC'S SUPER GIRL CHARACTERS, Except Nala, Jude, and the Vel-Tem & Velez family characters. (Book 1/2)
