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?

Superflash
Kara Zor El and Barry Allen were from two different universes. Before Barry was struck by lightning, he actually lived on Earth-3. It was the lightning that brought him to Earth-1. As children, Kara and Barry went to schools that were very close and even summer camps. Somehow they managed to become very close friends. They shared most of their darkest fears, and secrets. That was until Kara ended things. Barry, wanted it. He wanted Kara. More than Iris. More than anyone. He wanted to get back to what he called "Kara's World" Somehow he did it. But when he got there, she had closed off even more. The Kara Danvers he once knew wasn't herself. Then Barry heard about Supergirl. He decided to make his best impression. But that didn't go to well either as at the mention of his real name, she flew away.

Nova: The Un-Animated Series

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.

𝘊𝘓𝘈𝘙𝘈 𝘍𝘓𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘚, one of the new interns at the Daily Planet hasn't always felt like she belonged. Ever since she was a little girl she always felt like an outcast. Whether it was her talking about interests that girls "shouldn't" be into like superheroes or dinosaurs or even when she was talking about things girls "should" be into. However, everytime she picked a camera, she felt like her story belonged. That her side mattered. No one would know it was her behind the camera unless they looked at the citation. She could tell any story she wanted in a photograph without feeling like an outcast. That was up until Clark Kent came along and made her realize her story didn't just have to be in a photograph, but that it could be outside of the photograph. That her story did matter. She mattered. story made by - anevilresident!! <3Complete
