How would you transform him to make him cool and relatable? Anything: origins, powers, lifestyle, philosophy, side characters, rogues. How do we get him to compete with the anime MCs that are all the rage nowadays?

Zaslav, pls.
My Adventures With Superman is already fixing him
By making him an kawaii dude surrounded by PoC?
That does sound like a WB "fix" alright.
Unironically yes. They made him look cute and gave him a baddie tomboy latina.
Cute Clark + Cute Lois + dorky romance is a proven successful formula. Just add secret identity shenanigans and OP's problem is solved.
He's living the dream.
based
I wish he was bulkier, the brick shithouse physique makes the most sense for a kindhearted farmboy imo
He's about twice as wide as Jimmy.
still not big enough
Look at the exercise couple in the background, for normal scale, then look at Clark and Lois, our boy is a refrigerator.
BIGGER
What said. Make him a romantic cute character. Two of his popular adaptations are already romance stories.
nah thats just making him worse, he looks like a homosexual twink and the last thing he needs is to be made even further as a massive moralcuck agenda symbol
go back to the silver age roots with zero irony, make him more vigilante and liberal
Zoomer spotted.
Make him cute grill
Okay anon, you win, Superman is boring and can’t be revitalized. You never need to make this thread again now
I would say that he isn't "fricking boring" and he is already "cool and relatable" but If I HAD to change something it would be to make the whole "Alien refugee" origins much more subtle, (almost 'never figures out he is even an alien' subtle). and Probably tone down the super power so he would be more 'man' than 'super'.
other than that, Frick You, OP!
I like how Red Son changed him from an alien from a far away planet into a human from the far future, a "post-human" if you will. It makes him an actual Super"MAN" that a SuperHUman ALIEN.
He was perfectly fine in Adventures of Lois and Clark and in Superman TAS. Audiences are just too moronic nowadays to accept a hero with morals and values. That's why Iron Man and Joker are so popular
Stop being moronic supergay, most heroes in manga and comics have morals and values, what is spider-man or that mc from demon slayer ?
Kids would rather be a billionaire with cool gadgets than a wagie reporter with a b***hy coworker, and who can blame them
>Kids would rather be a billionaire with cool gadgets than a wagie reporter with a b***hy coworker, and who can blame them
This is honestly super easy to get. Superman fans can't accept the reality
This is the most obvious answer no one wants to talk about it. Literally all you have to do is make Superman cooler. Make him a chad. Make him frick more women and not just Lois. That’s literally it
>implying that it's more realistic that you can be rich, fit, and fight crime instead of good boi sun god from space
Be honest: If everyone had Bruce Wayne money, they move out fo the states, get an island, snort as much coke as they want and contribute to the eventual ruin of society to sate your own greed.
Lex Luthor is more realistic than Batman AND Superman
I mean, Lex Luthor is already the hero nowadays. We just call him Iron Man or Megamind
Have him frick more b***hes outside of lois and not be cucked by Batman. Have him point Tess Mercer and Lena Luthor especially.
What about Lana?
Yes. Superman needs to frick ALL the women. The difference is Superman media has him with only Lois. Meanwhile Batman is allowed to frick women, and have women openly thirst over him, including Lois. Why the frick would no one thirst over Superman? Extroverted GigaChads like him slay irl. Even just having women express interest in him with politely rejecting would be enough to make him no longer boring. That being said he definitely smashed Lana, Lois, all of them
You have sex on the brain. And women do want to frick classic Superman, the big blue boyscout's just unattainable.
>And women do want to frick classic Superman, the big blue boyscout's just unattainable.
Ok Clark, keep saying this while Bruce is busy railing Lois
The core of Superman is that he is a nice guy, but either the public or the writers don't know how a nice guy acts or feel unconfortable around an all around nice person as Clark and then transform him into someone naive or square almost going for totalitarian to make him interesting.
Main problem is that people mistake being nice for being a doormat. You don't need to take every punch people throw at you not to hurt their fee-fees.
A good example is any time writers have a scene of Batman owning him in a conversation trying to make Bruce look like a badass. There's so many obvious comebacks and easy ways to point out how he is full of shit but then they write Superman just standing there, like if Bruce had told him some incredible, impossible to disagree with truth.
You can be nice and understanding while still have a clear line of respect that others shouldn't cross. I don't want to start shit about it, but take a look at Tanjirou from Demon Slayer. He is an extremely nice person, impossibly so, but even he puts limits on others and actually enforces those limits when they cross a certain line.
That's what they should do with Superman. He is a nice person, a kind man at heart, but being kind does not mean you have to let people walk all over you.
The best way to write Superman is to focus on other characters around him. Supes will always be boring with his nigh invincibility, but his ability to inspire those around him is when Supes really shines.
Here kid I make this out of thin air with kryptonian super science, have a freebie
The perfect human being

KINO
Why is Superman standing on power lines?
Superman Smashes The Klan is based on 1930s Superman before he could fly or use heat vision.
You can't make Supes relatable because that defeats the point. He represents an ideal to strive towards, not the everyman. Despite this you can still make him cool but it's much harder compared to street level characters or anti heroes
Superman is unpopular, simple as that.
Then enjoy flopping, nobody likes a fictional character pretending he is better than them
>Spams thread
>Posts on story time days because board traffic is higher
>Combative
OP is a perpetual dickhead
I wouldn't do a fricking thing.
He doesn't need to be cool. He is relatable. Superman is friendly, but Clark can often feel lonely or uncomfortable. You fixate on his powers so that makes him unrelatable to you, but if that is the standard, no superhumans are relatable by that logic. With his powers, he could do damn near anything, but in most cases he just uses them to help people. Whether he is in costume or out of it, he does he makes the choice to do what he can to enrich the lives of those around him, and not be a dick. If that isn't relatable, that isn't a Superman problem. That's a you problem.
The problem is that nobody in hollywood can believe that someone born and raised in Kansas, a state that voted for Donald Trump, wouldn't be a bigot. Much less use his powers to help and inspire all people regardless of political affiliation.
Superman stands for truth and justice, that makes him a bigot by leftist standards regardless of where he was raised.
Also, he's a straight white male with traditional sensibilities, that alone makes most modern writers hate him
>Superman stands for truth and justice, that makes him a bigot by leftist standards regardless of where he was raised.
>bigot: One who is narrow-mindedly devoted to their own ideas and groups, and intolerant of differing ideas, races, genders, religions, politics, etc
>One who is narrow-mindedly devoted to their own ideas and groups
By simply believing in the idea of truth (objective observable reality and objective moral standards for behavior) you're being narrow minded because you don't accept other peoples definition of truth. Superman by his very nature demands both.
Superman's pretty mid now, but what if he was bussin on god fr fr no cap senpai?
OP is a fricking bot.
worse, a bat-tard
> the pro superman comic is superman literally coping with the fact that he is not popular
Lol Superman fans really like to humilliate themselves
Hi.
Who should Superman’s harem be?
Lois, Maxima, Lori, Lana, Lena, Livewire and more
Have Val Zod take Lois from him.
Have Clark quit being a reporter and go on a book writing expose journey.
Have him hook up with Live Wire and later with Grail. With Grail acknowledging that sex with Superman was so great, that she’s turning against her father Darkseid.
Have him kill Titano in a brutal fight so it wouldn’t destroy Earth.
Have evil scientist women want to harvest his cum so they can be impregnated with super Kryptonian hybrids.
These are exciting plots that people want to see. My name’s Chuck Austen by the way.
>Have him hook up with Live Wire and later with Grail. With Grail acknowledging that sex with Superman was so great, that she’s turning against her father Darkseid.

This unironically would help a lot.
nerf every one of his powers so that he is just an all rounder. like, you need a speedster, but the flash is busy so supes will do in a pinch. if wonderwoman isnt around to lift the heavy thing, supes might be able to do it.
focus much more on street level crimes. him saving the world and jesus posing is tired now. have him focus more on making the world a better place by showing people a better way. have him be naive, because that would lend credibility to him being a genuinely nice person.
the big problem with him is that there's been 50 billion stories told, he's just done now. most of the big characters are. just put him out to pasture and for gods sake can we stop having this thread
>How would you transform him to make him cool and relatable?
make him anime
Been covered
We went through this shit in the 90s already. You frickers never learn.
Superman isn't boring at all for the format he exists in. He's for weekly, zany comic books where weird nonsense happens.
He's only "boring" when you try to put him in a more serious environment with stakes...and even then, a good writer can very easily make many good stories out of that character. Villains exist to test him, side characters exist to contrast him, you can have him remember his childhood problems, you can make him a father and discuss the pressures of having something not invulnerable to worry about. He still has to worry about losing his friends, his home, his mortality, the constant struggle of abiding by "weaker" people especially when it comes to laws or ideas he can't agree with, his identity, the way others rely on him. The knowledge he'll never see his parents or homeworld. He's really not invincible at all - when you look at him fully, you don't even need Kryptonite.
Mob Psycho is a manga that has the character be essentially unbeatable, but the stakes and tensions relate to the protagonist and whether he can achieve his very simple ambitions.
Just don't be a shit writer and you can make great Superman stories.
Superman was never boring
Adult Swim ahead of you.
