Alexander Luthor ???

Alex Luthor, Pariah and Lady Quark were all late additions to the team. Ditto Dr. Light.

Firebrand was one of the original crew.

Obsidian?

--wyld

Hush hush, eye to eye.

Yup, Obsidian was the last missing member. It's all yours, wyld.

CuCr, what kind of gibberish Kajagoogoo nonsense are you speaking now?

But no one likes a hermit. We're your friends, JTR. You can come out and talk to us. We're here for you. And by "we," I mean CuCr. I'm not your therapist.

Since I got one answer and Mr JTR got thirteen, I'm going to defer to him on this one.

Your thread, JTR.

--wyld

Well, I'm not able to think up anything too grand.

This should be easy;

Chris Clarmont unused ending for COIE has which Superman ending up dead and which Superman taking his place ???

I never heard of this; I'll say Superman of Earth-One ended up dead and Superman of Earth-Prime took his place.

Now now, leave CuCr alone. Can't you see he's still upset at missing out on the Bangles reunion tour?

What do you mean, "no one likes a hermit" ? But then, what do I know? All I can tell you is I'm Henry VIII, I Am. I guess one could say I'm Into Something Good, but, I have to tell you, Mrs Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter.

It must be high Noone.

OK, well, it doesn't make any sense, but I'll say Superman of Earth-One died and Superman of Earth-Two took his place.

"Despero is attacking! Into action, Justice Leaguers!"
"Um, wait a minute, my laxative just started working...."

Here's how the storyline and it's history goes/went;

Chris Claremont suggested that Superman of Earth-One dies in the final battle with the Anti-Monitor in issue 12. After the Anti-Monitor was destroyed for good, Kal-L from Earth-Two realizes that he is now alone, without his Earth, without his Lois, and now the new single Earth is without a Superman. Then he remarks "Don't need this anymore," and brushes the white dye off his hair and other make-up that he apparently used to make himself look aged. The other heroes are surprised by this and Kal-L simply explains that he'd stopped aging when he reached the peak of his powers. He returns with the other heroes to the new Post-Crisis Earth, taking the place of the Earth-One Superman.
If this idea had been used, the Man of Steel would have proclaimed the return of the "Original Super-Hero" as Kal-L (now switched to Kal-El) began his life on the Post-Crisis Earth that is similar to his old life, but was completely different, such as how different this version of Lois is and how differently this version of Batman behaves towards him. Despite this "culture shock", Kal-L endured and was given a new lease on life by being deposited back to the early days of the modern heroic age of the Post-Crisis Earth. However, this was discarded when the John Byrne version of Man of Steel was planned.

And there you have it. That was all mentioned some years back in Wizard magazine.

And the thread is yours, CuCr.

Just take "Fish", from Barney Miller, and put him in a Superman costume and there you go.
