Reign of the Supermen #184: Project Green Man

Source: Batman: Holy Terror GN (1991)
Type: ElseworldsIn a world where Oliver Cromwell lived an extra decade, the U.S. is a commonwealth of a Britain ruled by a corrupt theocracy. The Kal-El of that world was given over to the Church/State by Jonathan and Martha Kent and experimented on until his powers grew too powerful. In the end, the cruel Dr. Saul Erdel had to kill the alien with a piece of poisonous green rock. When the Batman of that world sees the corpse, he is overcome with despair, as if hope itself had died. Such is the power of Superman.

In the end, Erdel is struck down by divine justice when one of his own bullets bounces off the Green Man's skin and kills him dead, instilling a new feeling of hope in the soon ordained Bruce Wayne.

Have a good Good Friday, everyone. Remember: Eating lobster today doesn't count as fish for the "no meat" clause. You know who you cheaters are.

But puffins do count as fish, apparently.
This Elseworlds is the reason I was so relieved when I discovered the Fate of Kal El in Flashpoint
