Superman 2020--Suicide Is Painless

When last we left the never-to-exist world of Superman 2020, Kalel Kent, grandson of the original Superman, was about to smash his Vexor air-car into a cliff before taking on the role of Superman III!!

Well, guess what? He does!!

Why?

Well, the fourth--and most important--reason to miss the 1980 version of 2020, is this:

He's going to be a super-hero with multiple secret identities?!? Like a Kryptonian Moon Knight (not the insane one, though)?? The Unknown Soldier meets Superman?!?

OK, that could be pretty damn cool, with some interesting story possibilities (Not to mention, a pretty good way to juggle multiple women!).

But sadly, that world is now never-to-be, and we're stuck with plain old, boring one-identity emo Clark Kent. Sigh...

Hey...with a name like Kalel Kent, just how secret could his identity have been, anyway? Stay tuned...

From Superman #354 (1980).
