Ok..you asked for it!

I would have Clark Kent wake up one morning..go to his bathroom to get ready for the day..and realize as he looks in the mirror..that he is now black!

On Krypton, a dormant gene sometimes is active in a child of a white couple. It means any offspring they have..will be born black. Jor - El, upon seeing Kal -El and realizing that he would be ostracised because he is a black child with this gene born to white parents.

Scientist that he is, Joe - El finds a way to tinker with newborn Kal's genes..and turn him white.

The process proved to be unstable, however, as a Clark in his early thirties finds out. He learns of what happens..and how it is irreversible.

How would Lois react now? Is she prejudiced, or could she keep up with the changes? How would Clark handle his job, friends, his life? How would he be Superman now? It would be very difficult to convince everyone that he is Superman, and, even if he could, many would not accept a black Superman, although many would.

That is how I would change Superman.

If you saw the movie, " Watermellon Man", yes, I got the idea from this movie, where a bigoted white man awakens one morning..to discover that he is now black.

Godfrey Cambridge and Estelle Parsons starred in this 1970 movie, which was years ahead of it's time. Estelle Parsons played Roseanne's mom in the Roseanne show for 9 years.
