This story is unlike many others. Instead of Kal-El, son of Jor-El, landing on Earth and becoming the world's first superhero, Superman, this one takes a different turn. He swaps places with his cousin, Kara Zor El aka Powergirl, resulting in Clark arriving on Earth later than expected. As a result, Clark grows up in a world already populated by numerous existing superheroes and villains. So, when Clark eventually becomes Superman, how will he stand out? What makes Superman different from any other superhero? Why do we need Superman?

Nova: The Un-Animated Series
They didn't ask for Earth. But now Earth is asking who they'll become. Nova was forged on Apokolips-a living weapon designed for obedience, not identity. He doesn't know what he wants. He's never been taught to want. And now, left on Earth without a mission, without war, without a target... he's left with himself. Kara Zor-El grew up in the shadow of a planet she can't return to and a cousin the world already sees as perfect. She wants to be normal. She wants to be Supergirl. She wants to choose. But choice is hard when everyone already has a plan for you. One of them is trying to learn how to live. The other is trying to learn how to live free. Together, they orbit each other-not because of destiny, not because of fate, but because survival sometimes means finding someone who sees you. The world keeps throwing monsters their way. The real fight is the one inside. Nova: The Un-Animated Series A story about finding purpose when the world already decided who you're supposed to be. A serialized story presented in DCAU-style episodes-each entry builds on the last, like your favorite animated series.
This Is My Super-Life (Superman Reader)
(Catwoman x Superman Reader, Red Lantern OC x Supergirl.) Yet another superhero in a world that needs him the most! Superman is known by all for being the most vanilla superhero in the world, but... regardless of the instance, the Man of Steel still has a story to tell. In this case, you were sent from Krypton to Earth to avoid its collapse. After honing your strength under the Earth's yellow sun, you fought your adversaries for the sake of keeping this new home safe, to show your thanks. General Zod, a man responsible for the downfall of his home planet, was one of soon many who were made an example, showing everyone on Earth that this hero was here to stay. However, Superman would soon be called upon again to save the Earth from yet even more extraterrestrial threats. When a close friend (OC) of his accepts an invitation into the Red Lantern Corps from Gotham, chaos ensues, and his super-life will forever change. DISCLAIMER: This content is mature; you can expect the worst. There may potentially be violence, topics of cheating, and sexual content. This is written like a real book, (There might be some dumb stuff later in the book). Also, since this is my first DC story I've ever written. I am going to tell you right now that I am going to get stuff wrong and pull "canon" stuff out of my back pocket like a complete clown. You have been warned. P.S. This story MIGHT eventually be on AO3 and Royal Road under "WoffleStomp". This is a commissioned work.Complete
Indestructible: Superman x BlackOC
NEW COVER - SAME STORY A superman story like no other, far from any canon in existence, Kal-El made his way to Earth as an infant, not to be discovered by the Kents, but by the Luthors! (for all my true DC geeks, think Ultraman's story expanded) Moving to the inner city of Metropolis during middle school, Clark and Lex quickly filled their roles as the cocky, @sshole jock and even bigger @sshole genius respectively. Their rise to popularity was almost instantaneous with the Luthor name and bank account behind them. Clark Luthor is a complicated creature. Sure, he's incredibly powerful, but he always found himself at odds with his ingenious brother Lex, competing for their father Lionel's approval and attention. Rather than hiding behind nerdy glasses (don't come for me, y'all, I love nerdy Clark Kent), Clark Luthor's upbringing turned him into something much darker and more dangerous. But this story isn't really about him, it's about the shy and quirky girl who seems impervious to death or permanent injury who unfortunately gains his attention. Follow Lyra Queen's story and find out what happens 😉. TW: bullying, harassment, violence, etc. NSFW and def 18+ (read at your own risk). This follows no canon, but lmk if you have characters from DC you wanna see. Also, this (like all my stories) features a black main character and many (maybe all) of the other DC characters in the story will be BIPOC. Iykyk. No apolgoies.Complete

Only Human [The Man Of Steel]
Growing up in the small city of Kansas was okay but what actually made it okay was the friend that I had made. He was different, a good different, and I knew that.
