The Last Son: Difference between revisions

''[[The Last Son]]'' by The Writer With No Name began as a Crossover Fic of [[Superman]] and [[X -Men: Evolution]]. It quickly expanded to include various [[Marvel Universe|Marvel]] characters like [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]] and later expanded again to include various [[The DCU|DC]] characters like the [[Justice League of America|Justice League]]. Characters that possess multiple continuities are given [[Adaptation Distillation]] while others have their backstories altered to integrate the two universes together.

[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3228742/1/The Part 1] is the story of Superman beginning a new life at the Xavier Institute while covertly preventing disasters. Most of the story is Superman's effects on the X-Men and the plot loosely follows [[X -Men: Evolution]]. The [[Big Bad]] of this part is Magneto and he attempts to force Superman to lead the mutants to victory over normal humans.

[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3310696/1/The_Last_Son_Book_Two_Reckonings Part 2] expands the character roster considerably and sets up the formation of the [[Justice League]]. It also introduces Superman's [[Love Interest]] ('''NOT''' Lois Lane). The plot diverges considerably from [[X -Men: Evolution]] at the climax of this part. The primary villain here is Doctor Doom but other villains have an impact as well.

[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4009890/1/The_Last_Son_Book_Three_Changes Part 3] begins with the world adjusting to the existence of mutants, Superman, and his independent [[Justice League]]. Even more characters are brought in here and various factions attempt to bring down Superman. At this point the plot only vaguely resembles [[X -Men: Evolution]], with the basic events still happening but going [[Off the Rails]] in creative ways. Three-quarters through this part the story begins the invasion arc where Shi'ar, Kree, and Skrulls invade Earth simultaneously in a race to seize the Kryptonian technology Superman possesses.

* [[Badass Normal]]: Batman, who takes on the Juggernaut, the Executioner, a Sentinel, the Rhino, '''and''' the [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Kingpin]], and even manages to stall {{spoiler|General Zod}} in hand-to-hand combat. Also the Punisher, who manages to escape from Superman (with a gambit that involves grenades, a rocket launcher, and a runaway van) and almost kills the Joker, as well as killing several unnamed inmates of Arkham Asylum.

* [[Composite Character]]: Dazzler + {{spoiler|[[Power Girl]]}} = Alison Blaire.

* [[DaddysDaddy's Little Villain]]: Siryn {{spoiler|until her [[Heel Face Turn]]}}

* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: Part 1 Chapter 7.

* [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall]]: Deadpool when he appears, obviously.

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Subverted/played straight - Superman goes through this about once every five chapters for doing what legitimately needed to be done, and needs to be snapped out of his depression by his teammates.

* [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]]: {{spoiler|General Zod}} gives one to practically every hero in the Last Son 'verse, including, but not limited to: The X-Men, the Avengers, the Justice League, the Fantastic Four, the Brotherhood, Doctor Doom, the Hulk, and Magneto. He beats Spider-Man almost to the point of killing him, tries to strangle Power Girl, and almost incinerates Pyro.

* [[NoWon't SellWork On Me]]: Superman is explicitly referred to as immune to X-Gene powers.

* [[Overshadowed Byby Awesome]]: Pietro is not happy about being ''slower'' than Superman.

* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Averted. Evan's bus ticket gets revoked here. Superman convinces him to stay when he's supposed to join the Morlocks.

* [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies]]: {{spoiler|The climax of book 1 has Superman averting this.}}

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Superman asks Zod this a '''LOT'''.
