7. The Plutonian

(Irredeemable/Incorruptible, Boom! Studios)

There are a lot of stories that ask the question, What if Superman was evil? Irredeemable is among the best of them.

The Plutonian was a hero with Superman’s powers and basic origin, who was raised by people not as pleasant as the Kents. His mother routinely tried to kill him as a child. As such, Plutonian grew up slightly broken, and becoming a superhero only broke him further. After all, imagine what it would do to you if you could hear every single thing anyone on earth ever said about you.

And when the Plutonian broke, he took over the world and became a horrific despot who ruled with an iron fist. In the ruins, his former friends frantically banded together to try to stop him through any means necessary. An all-out war for the world, with the world’s mightiest being as the crushing, overpowering evil force being fought against.

Heavy stuff.
