On today's lesson of Pro Teaches n00bs, @Hooded Justice joins me as we go over the classic elseworlds Superman: Red Son! What if Superman landed in Russia! The best part of what Mark Millar does with this story is that it's NOT black & White! It's VERY grey!

In Red Son, Superman's rocket ship lands on a Ukrainian collective farm rather than in Kansas. Instead of fighting for "truth, justice, and the American Way", Superman is described in Soviet radio broadcasts "as the Champion of the common worker who fights a never-ending battle for Stalin, socialism, and the international expansion of the Warsaw Pact". His civilian identity is a state secret.
