Superman 2020--Much Better Than Jayden Or Madison

As we bemoan the loss of Superman 2020, we come to the cruelest blow of all.

Some of you may have wondered--since Superman II had the secret identity of Jorel Kent, and his son, Superman III, had been Kalel Kent (before he faked his own death!!)--just how secret could these identities have been?

Very secret, it turns out. Because the fifth--and most important--reason the loss of Superman 2020 is a tragedy, is this:

Dude--Kryptonian names became common?!?!? That is so rad!!

Just think--we could have been living in a world where we're rubbing shoulders with Jorels and Karas and Laras and Kalels...but now, thanks to Flushpoint, we're stuck with a world where people fear and hate and resent heroes, so there's no way they'd give their kids Kryptonian names. No, the xenophobic nuDCU public is more likely to name their kids Newt or Snoop Dogg or Wo Fat than Zorel or Zod. Sigh...

Speaking of xenophobes, who is our narrator here, the guy making a big deal about "mixed blood?" Stay tuned...
