Imagine if Superman came to Earth and wasn't a hero but very evil. This isn't Superman but it is based on the origin. Looks pretty cool

Yea, I heard about this. I'm not a big horror movie guy, but this a real interesting concept.

I'd check it out. I'm sure this has been done in the comics at one point or another.

I seem to remember someone (Kevin Smith maybe? Howard Stern?) riffing on this idea years ago.

They talked about Superman having this great upbringing with the Kent's being good, honest hard working people. But what if Superman was raised by dicks in an abusive household. Instead of being the big Boy Scout, he'd be the supreme dictator of the planet. It might have been shortly after that Will Smith 'Hancock' movie came out, which was sorta the same premise, "Superman, but a real wanker".

Yah, it's sort of been explored. It was after the character had actually been a hero for a while, and then fell from grace. It was a series called Irredeemable.

On topic, I like the look of this so far. Hopefully it isn't just a clever tag line (it's like Superman but EVIL!!!1!!!!1!!1!!!) and wasted potential.

Yeah, this looks like a neat twist on the "superhero" template.
