Seems odd to me. What do you all think of someone new being The Man of Steel?

Why?? Why do they always do this :/

Like, instead, how about they introduce a Chinese character as a NEW character rather than a copycat.

I also don't like Marvel's move to turn Amadeus Cho into the new hulk.

1. Introducing a new character takes time and effort
2. Using a old character and just changing his ethnicity is easier

If they wanted to add more diversity, they could have made a new superhero, but I guess, they dont want to take that much of a risk.

Interesting, why they named him King Kenan Kong is my main question.
And does he replace Clark? I haven't been following Superman all that actively.

But I don't get why they have to change existing characters when they can make a brand new one? I guess name reckognition is one thing, but eh. If they wanted to make fans aware of a new hero they totally could.

I have mixed feelings on the matter, but not being very interested in Superman I won't pick it up. A bit weird changing up one of the most iconic superheroes in the history of ever.

Easier to market Superman in China lol.


I do agree with your bottom statement, Not sure what is "Superman" about him, is it just the abilities? Guess we will find out, when issue one hits
