I for one think he would be more interesting as a character. And not because he would be attractive to men as a woman. But for the reasons stated below:

1. Imagine superman as female character, but with his same personality, along traits that fit a feminine perspective instead of a males. Basically you would have a dignified woman character like the original superman. The big difference would be how she would handle things. If written properly she wouldn't handle things like Superman would, if anything she would be prone to probably think over things and be anything but brash. She wouldn't be like Supergirl to say the least. She might even second guess even being a superhero.

2. Since she would be like a female superman, she would have black or really dark brown hair of course. No biggie. So long she is NOT supergirl.

3. This would seriously change ALL of supermans history on Earth. Who knows what would happen. But I think it would be interesting. Because as any guy should know, women have a perspective of things that men don't, which would seriously change things, given the power she would have. It would be funny to see her relationship with Lois, which would no longer be romantic but would likely begin to annoy her, given how many times she would have to save her.

So your thoughts ladies and gents. What do you think? I really think the fact that Superman being a woman instead would seriously change how other DC characters treated him, Earth too. Even his villains for that matter.

How would the doomsday fight go if Supes was a woman?

How would her relationship with Luthor go?

And how would her relationship with Earth go? Lois included?

@martyyy15:

Ha! Your saying that a woman would not be nearly as forgiving as a man would of Lex? Yeah... I have to agree with you on that. LOL. I mean Superman may have pity on Lex. But Superwoman would be turned off on so many levels, including the obvious one that Lex would probably want her for a girlfriend or wife (since he already considers himself a kind of superman).

I mean there must be a reason why there is a saying, "Hath no fury like a woman scorned." Uh, especially one with Superman's power level.

LOL. Your saying Superwoman would have a crush on him? LOL. I suppose it's possible given that they are BFF's in the standard universe.

Ya think Bats would accept her as his girlfriend/wife?

And finally Lex would have a legit reason for hating Supes OTHER than the fact of him being just jealous.

“I pitched this to DC for a laugh years back. The idea was that, like Death of Superman, we had Rape of Wonder Woman; a twenty-two page rape scene that opened up into a gatefold at the end just like Superman did.”

and that will happen with superwoman and doomsday

Batman would coat his Batcave with lead to keep Superwoman from spying on him. Even if they dated and married he would still carry a kryptonite ring on him.

They would have frequent arguments over that.

A typical argument would go like this:

Superwoman: "You don't trust ME? I have saved your butt so many times...

Batman: "It's because...

Superwoman: "Because of what?" (Superwoman's eyes are glowing red at this point, as this has been the upteenth argument)

Batman: "Because I'm BAT-MAN!

Maybe. Bats and Supes relationship is tenuous at best. I'll bet the only person Bats does not actively have an agenda to hurt if need be is Alfred.

@martyyy15:

Oooh that is hilarious. You can forget Superwoman being forgiving when it comes to villains.

Actually realistically. I think Superwoman's conscience would bother her after all the destruction she caused. She would hang up the cape until Bats decided to recruit her for some insane mission that he won't want to fight by himself. Since Bats is only human.

Someone needs to write this up as a elseworlds story.

Because really and truly, I don't think anyone has ever truly exploited what it means to be a woman with Superman power levels. Because Wonder Woman acts more like a tomboy than a woman anyway. Supergirl too. They never seem worry about that time of the month making them cranky.

@martyyy15: In that case Supewoman would be subdued somehow via comic PIS. Otherwise Earth is doomed.

Man. Funny how changing Superman's sex literally seals DC Earth's fate almost LOL.

Only perverts. Personally I don't find rape appealing. And yes I am a guy. Sex should be consensual, not forced upon anyone.

@v_scarlotte_rose: waste of pages actually, no need to make it canon but there are markets where people would be entertained. Try peeping at those sites, see what I mean.

But there are people who would be happy, or thrilled even.

Seriously why would her personality change? Maybe a little but not much. The only thing I see changing is :

  • Her relationship with her colleges especially Lois and Bruce. Lois will probably be more friendly with her, Jimmy will try to hit on her and I don't have any idea how Bruce will react but I don't think their relationship will change that much.
  • Lex will be more mad because he'll get owned by a girl every time.
  • She'll be the most powerful female hero replacing WW.
  • And she wouldn't be like WW and Supergirl. There personalities don't match.

I dunno... 22 pages is a bit much. I think it would be a PR disaster. But not nearly as much as it would have been 40 years ago.

Times have changed so much that shocking things don't sting as much as they once did to the public consciousness.

moore should not write it, or millar (he would be 'funny' about it)

it should be drawn by azarello or anka (since they don't sexualize things)

If they had ellis and gaiman as co-writers it can be groovy

Not a few. Plenty. It would be just like porn. With the sole disturbing element to the public being that it is rape and not consensual.

If it was consensual it would still make the public aware but it wouldn't be as big a deal.

With rape culture and desensitization it would be buffered, but if done right it can be amazing. Also it depends on the crowd, if written of vertigo it can be good. They can take cue from Hentai mangaka/doujinshi artists, which also cover mainstream american comics (DC/Marvel).

Personally I would find a Superwoman version of Superman FAR more interesting than Wonderwoman.

I mean both Supes and Wonderwoman are FAR too bland as characters. Making Superman a woman would definitely add spice to what is basically a dull predetermined character (don't attack me all at once fanboys).

A superwoman character would have restraint that wonderwoman does not have, and would not be so quick to engage in fist-a-cuffs with villains since woman are generally more compassionate than men anyway (wondy don't act all that feminine so she don't count). But if she got really mad all bets would be off.

Thus the saying, "Hell hath no fury... "

Like I said, the culture is VERY desensitized.

For example, men that rape and kill children that go to jail can expect a rude welcome by their inmates. Possibly even death. Because that is something that even many criminals have a conscience about.

You rape a woman. What happens to you? Nothing. I have my sources, and know, I have not been to prison. I just have second hand knowledge of real person accounts.

@lorbo: I have heard that people that abuse children get treated badly in prison, but I didn't know people who rape adults got treated O.K.

I can't understand why there'd be a difference, rape is still bad, no matter what age the victim is.

@martyyy15: there is a thread dedicated to it and I have a growing list of it

Rape is like the new 'dead parents', e.g. black cat having that injected into her backdrop to make her more deep as a character. I say they ought to castrate/emasculate male characters too once in a while since death has lost its value.

IRL it is a horrible crime which has drawn increasing media interest, in fiction it is debatable [some even use as outlets to prevent real crimes]

I know how you feel and I agree. It's just porn has desensitized the masses along with the general slide in morality over the years.

The days of andy griffith and black and white TV and I Love Lucy are gone.

It's a brave new world out there.
