Line 36:
* ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'' opens with a homage to the [[Superman]] origin story. As a wall of antimatter sweeps across Earth-3, Earth-3's sole superhero, Alexander Luthor, and his wife, Lois Lane-Luthor, place their infant son Alexander, Jr., into an experimental device that will send him across the dimensional barriers to the relative safety of Earth-1.
** Lex Jr. is an interesting example, because within that story, he is an enormous help to the safety of the multiverse. However, {{spoiler|by the time of the [[Infinite Crisis|next crisis]], he has performed a [[Face Heel Turn]] and proves that [[Light Is Not Good]]}}.
* ''[[PS238]]'', being a bit of [[Genre Deconstruction]], has Argonaut — the blatant [[Expy]] of Superman. In his case, this origin turned out to be a lie concocted by his handlers so that he won't look back (or look forward) to his homeworld… and of course this story didn't survive the inevitable visit of actual and very much living Argonians.
** It's supposed to be the story of Prospero (though he speaks in [[Wingdinglish]] only his "girlfriend" understands). Except his people didn't fall to a disaster but to an enemy. And he was sent ahead to help the next target fight them off… {{spoiler|or [[Taking You with Me|destroy their mothership]] along with [[Earthshattering Kaboom|their next conquest]] if everything else fails}}.
