This week we'll look at an alternate Superman - the Blue version.

This is a design that would be a great costume for someone... but it just doesn't fit Superman's character.

Yeah... I agree with Ouflah. It's a solid design, well put together... it's just not a Superman design.

Didn't they turn this version of Supes into a female for a time? If so, it worked better on a female than it did on a male.

Ouflah pretty much hit the nail on the head.  It's a fine costume, but it's not Superman.  I'd give it a 4 in general, and a 2 as a Superman costume.

Everybody on the internet wants to debate: Who would win in a Superman vs. Goku fight?

But this is a good reminder that American comic book icons shouldn't feel the need to constantly "level up" their powers like a manga/anime saga. 

That said, I've only read parts of this arc, but would love to sit through the whole thing one day just to see how DC handled the experiment.

It's the first of a series of articles detailing the entire Superman Blue run.

Haha, that cover is great!  I love the crazy insanity of old Superman comics.

I think the first time I ever heard of "Superman Red" was in the old Superman arcade game that featured him as an unexplained Player 2.

Thanks for that!

I agree with others, this is a pretty solid alternate Superman. Not ideal for a traditional Superman, but cool for short term circumstances or some kind of alternate universe idea.

I believe the female version was Strange Visitor.

Does she get boosted resistance to energy attacks?
