Ghostmaker In Superbat Fics

MOS Pa Kent and MAWS Pa Kent

I find the polar opposite depictions of Jonathan in these stories incredibly fascinating.

MOS Jonathan shields and separates Clark from anything related his heritage, including things like his ship and powers. Encouraging suppresion and caution in Clark.

Actively telling Clark to hide his powers and never use them, scolding him whenever he used them. He is a man terrified of the world taking his son away from him, specially knowing he has no real way of protecting Clark from anything that may seek to harm him. So he encourages him to hide himself and avoid drawing any attention.

He is a more jaded and cynical man, immediately assuming the world would attack and try to kill his son (he ended up being right, which is its own can of worms), would try to rip his miracle child, his star baby away from him.

He only sees a world that would harm the child he so desperately seeks to protect, that child he loves more than anything.

MAWS Jonathan is the complete opposite of his MOS counterpart. He is the one that encouraged Clark to discover himself, to make contact with the ship, to practice his use and control of his powers, even turning that into a game a young Clark could enjoy.

He is aware of the shock Clark´s existence will create but in the end he has faith in humanity seeing Clark for what he truly is, someone who just wants to help others.

He is more optimistic and cheerful, thinking of the best and encouraging other people to do so too.

In MAWS, Martha is the one who is the one who wants to keep Clark away from anything alien, the one that clings to him and wants to keep him hidden.

While Jonathan is cheerful over Clark deciding to go public and help people, Martha is the one that is slightly reluctant (though not to MOS Jonathan´s level, like letting yourself get killed by a tornado because you don´t want your son to expose himself is extreme though somewhat understandable) to let him go, though she eventually gets on board and creates his trunks.

This dicotomy is reflected on Clark´s abilities.

Flight is one of his most characteristic abilities and it often serves as a metaphor for Clark feeling free and accepted, it comes in moments where Clark learns to love and accept himself.

So it is interesting to see how in MAWS it is one of the first he obtains while in MOS it is one of the last ones. Showing the difference in how their settings and enviroments reacted to them.

MAWS is honestly amazing and I am incredibly glad we got this adaptation of the Superman mythos. It is so unique and refreshing. I can´t wait for season 3.

Regardless of its flaws I genuinely love MOS and its depiction of the Kent family. Its different from what we are used to in comics and tv shows, but it offers a unique take on the Kents dealing with Clark´s powers. At the end the day Jonathan is just a father terrified someone will hurt his child and he won´t be able to protect him.

Anyways this ramble has lasted enough, love both pieces of media to bits.

Ending for MAWS

I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade but I feel MAWS’ final villain is going to end up being Doomsday (with an show original backstory), and we all know what Doomsday does.

(It would Also be a nice parallel to S2 E8 name being “The Death of Clark Kent”)

if MAWS Clark dies I would cry a river.

The Boob Window

Quincy with real wings

An AU where the quincy race has actual bird like wings the color of their reiatsu.

And when quincy were more widespread they didn't hide their wings but as their population dwindled they were forced to either hide or cut them off.

Quincy like Ryuken cutting them off while Uryu hid them, only ever allowing them out in private.

Idk the idea just popped into my head and wouldn't leave me alone.

Twinns

Star Wars HOTD AU

An AU where it is the HOTD setting with Star Wars characters. There's so many ideas that won't leave my mind. Like:

The jedi as dragon riders who protected the republic. Having the force and their dragons. With lightsabers being an equivalent to Valyrian steel swords.

Coruscant as King's Landing. With the king being replaced with the chancellor.

Each mayor planet being a kingdom with the lesser ones being cities.

Mandalore as Dorne, with their dragon killing beskar spears and hatred of the jedi. Having been able to resist conquest and refusing to join.

The unkown regions being the zone beyond the wall. Where sith magic and the darkside abound.

Plot wise I was thinking about how similar Daenerys and Luke are. Maybe Luke is the one that brings dragons back into the realm in a parallel to the ritual Daenerys did, only with Darth Vader, Sidious and himself instead of Khal Drogo, Mirri and Daenerys.

Or maybe we could see Anakin falling to the darkside and leading to the end of dragons and jedi alike.

There's so much that could be done with this idea, but i am curious as to what other people think.

Brainiac’s Magical Girl Transformation

It certainly wasn’t on my MAWS S2E8 Bingo card. (And Brainiac unfortunately served in that outfit)

Also why is his waist out like that? (I like it)

Characters Who's Blood is Power

MAWS Clark's New Suit

I've seen a lot of people complain. about it but honestly?

I adore the new suit, it has everything I like in a Superman suit.

The armour like texture that actually looks like it protects him, a regal/elegant look, the finger covering, the golden accents, the semi belt, the longer boots, the shoulder pads (people hate them but i love them) etc.

It represents his growth as a character and i love that too.

I love love the new suit, it is among my favorites ever.

I liked the trunks while they were here but i am kinda glad they are gone.

Superman in JL Dark Apokolips War

I am sick and tired of people blaming everything that happened on Clark. Blatantly ignoring the fact he never stood a chance at all and it all was going to happen regardless of the decisions he took.

Nobody, absolutely nobody, not even Batman knew Cyborg was spying on them but somehow the only one that gets blamed for it is Clark.

It wouldn't have mattered if Clark made the best, most perfect plan ever, if Darkside knew their every move.

Even if they had stayed on earth they still would have gotten attacked and killed because the invasion was inevitable, Darkside had his sights on earth since the first movie.

And as Constantine explains, Barry unleashed Darkside into the new timeline, so if you want to point fingers, blame him and his messing of the timeline.

Clark was basically stuck on a car with no brakes on a single road surrounded by walls with a giant truck aiming towards him at full speed.

He never stood a chance at all, he was as much a victim as everyone else.
