7. Kal (Superman: Kal)
The Weaponeer
In times of yore, a rocket landed in England, and out popped a baby. He grew up to become a valiant knight with armor and a sword made from his rocket.
Kal, as he came to be known, found love with Loisse Layne and fought the evil Baron Luthor. Until Luthor murdered Loisse while trying to sexually assault her. Yeah, this wasn’t a good comic book. But its Superman was helpful to us.
Team Role: The Weaponeer.
Supermen didn’t need guns. They didn’t even necessarily NEED weapons. But having some melee weapons on hand wouldn’t be a bad idea. Superman with a super-mace? Badass. And Kal was uniquely equipped to make all that stuff. Out of pure alien metal. Kal made Excalibur for God’s sake. Give that thing to President Superman, and let him hit someone with it. Game on.
