Description

Superman: Last Son of Earth is a DC Comics Elseworlds tale released in the year 2000. It was written by Steve Gerber with art by Doug Wheatley.

The story is a reverse of the usual Superman origin with him being sent from Earth to Krypton and discovering a Green Lantern power ring, which he uses to become a superhero. Gerber's focus is more on social commentary: particularly xenophobia, cultural stagnation, and authoritarianism.

Jonathan Kent is a scientific genius who discovers that a meteor is about to crash into Earth. He then builds a rocket to carry his wife and son into space, but his wife would rather stay by his side, and so their son is sent alone. The ship eventually lands on Krypton and the boy, Clark Kent, is adopted by Jor-El. Clark eventually finds a Green Lantern ring and saves Krypton. He later uses the ring to recover his memories and he returns to Earth where he meets his love Lois Lane and his greatest rival Lex Luthor. Due to Clark's body having adapted to the stronger gravity of Krypton, Clark is a physical powerhouse when he returns to Earth (with superhuman strength, speed, agility, endurance, and resistance to injury, much like the classic Superman in his earliest appearances), which he discovers when Luthor steals his ring in an attempt to access its power.
