He said that Supreme is how he wishes Superman was, separate from humanity, torn between his dead race and his human origin.

That's not who Superman was, hell, that's not who Superman should have ever been!
Uh, yes, he was, bitch. That was the core of the pre-Crisis Superman. He was locked in a gray area between being human and being Kryptonian, embodying both and not belonging to either. Sure, Mort Weisinger favored the Kryptonian side of the equation and Julius Schwartz favored the human side, but neither of them contradicted the fact that Superman was not, and never could be, fully human or fully Kryptonian. THAT IS EXACTLY WHO SUPERMAN WAS. Chris Reeve's Superman was such a being. So was the animated series version played by Tim Daly. Matt Wagner's Superman in the spectacular Trinity series is exactly that. Alan Moore wrote Superman that way in the few stories he did with the character. Mark Waid's Superman in Birthright is going to be the exact same way. hell, even Dean Cain's wussied-up Superman on Lois & Clark felt pride in his Kryptonian heritage, especially when he found out that Jor-El and Lara sacrificed themselves so he could live. THIS IS EXACTLY AS SUPERMAN SHOULD BE. For you to say that Superman is not a child of two worlds and that he was never meant to be only proves that you are NOT a Superman fan, but a BYRNE/JURGENS SUPERMAN fan. Believe me, the concept of Superman being caught in a gray area between his humanity and his alien heritage is been ingrained into the character for decades. Just because Byrne and Jurgens say he's only human doesn't make it so.

And you cannot use the earliest Siegel/Shuster material to say that Krypton was unimportant to Superman. He didn't even know he was from Krypton at the time! And when he did find out, he felt a kinship with his heritage...not rejecting it as "meaningless" the way your great god Byrne's did. Kirk Alyn and George Reeves' version of Superman were in the same boat. They didn't know anything about Krypton aside from the fact that they came from it, so there was no way they could become introspective about it (the demands of movie serials and early TV also made such character exploration impossible).

Further, as I have told you ENDLESS times before, I don't want to turn the clock back all the way to 1960. I want Superman to be an amalgam of all his past incarnations, be it total integration (as in Alan Moore's Supreme) or a mix and match of the best of all the different versions (Birthright, Trinity, Superman: For All Seasons to a lesser extent, and maybe even what I would do with the character if given the chance). Yet you REFUSE to listen. You insist on LYING about me, TWISTING everything I say into something it's not, and SLANDERING me as some mindless Silver Age groupie. Further, you show NO respect to anyone who doesn't think Byrne is the end-all be-all of Superman. Some fans don't like Byrne/Jurgens at all. Some fans do, but they also like the other versions of Superman as well. Some only know Superman from film, cartoons, and TV. I don't see you cutting them any slack. Your whole attitude is "Byrne/Jurgens is the ONE TRUE SUPERMAN, the only good Superman, so anything else is inherently bad and you're an idiot if you don't agree." And if anyone shows any kind of open-mindedness to anything beyond Byrne/Jurgens, you dismiss them as "not having a coherent opinion."

You know, maybe you should that that "comics are like a Rorschach test" line out of your signature. You've made it clear that the only opinion you will ever respect is your own.

King Krypton would rather he used it the same way he did in the SA and the same way Supreme did, to be sumber and in perpetual mourning, separate from his trueself.

King Krypton would rather Superman followed the nature of the uniform (super hero), insted of following the personality he developed after being raised on Earth.
No, shithead, I want Superman to be SUPERMAN, neither human nor Kryptonian, but BOTH. Which IS his true self and would BE the personality he develops on Earth. But I don't expect you to understand that. You're not a Superman fan, you're a Byrne/Jurgens Sycophant. Two totally different things.

And since you're too damned stupid to read Supreme and thus have not one single solitary clue as to Ethan Crane's characterization, I suggest you shut your damned mouth and stop trying to use it as an example of your fact-devoid, woefully inaccurate rants.
