''The Nail'' (or ''JLA: The Nail'') is a three-issue comic book mini-series published by [[DC Comics]]. It is a self-contained story by Alan Davis which [[Elseworld|stands outside of the mainstream continuity of the DC Universe]].
In this universe, Martha and Jonathan Kent's truck has a tire puncture caused by a nail. This prevents them from discovering the spaceship containing the baby Kal-El, and so, there's no [[Superman]].
The story was later followed up by a sequel in ''JLA: [[Another Nail]]'' which ties into the original story and wrapped up several loose ends
See also "''[[Bullet Points]]''" for this series' [[Marvel Universe]] counterpart.

* [[A God Am I]]: {{spoiler|Jimmy Olsen when beating the crap out of Batman specifically calls himself one and demands that Batman do the same.}} [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|He tells him to go to hell instead]]
* [[A House Divided]]: The Justice League suffers from this a little bit since Superman was never there to be the even head that guided them.
