This is a Superman Elseworld i created for a fanfic. In the story Kal El arrives to Mexico instead of the US. The idea came after reading Red Son, where Supes becomes a dictator, and something similar happends here. Mexican history has something with charismatic heroes becoming political leaders, and then becoming national villains, so i tried to play a little with that (sad) side of our history.
This is the cover of the first comic (which is more of an origin tale.) A friend of mine (Lalo Diaz) created it, and I'm very very pleased with it, he really made a terrific job. He took the Superman Birthright cover, and change the uniform. Oh by the way, his name is changed to Santiago Villa, and when he wears the cape he's called Tonatiuh (the solar god for the Aztecs,) i thought it was quite convenient...
Me cae que con los pinches pol?ticos y gobernadores tranzas y corruptos que tenemos en M?xico, un Superman as? nos vendr?a como "vaso de agua en el desierto". L?stima que s?lo sea ficci?n.
yes, actually when i was starting the story i was thinking of many JLA members in a mexican style, but its hard to make a decent story with so many characters, so i went one at a time. Perhaps for the next chapter i add another DC character
Very interesting concept. You could really play around with this, maybe a Batman depicted as a Zappatist (sic) rebel or inspired by PIQUETE-ZINA, the bat god, which I think translates as Batman.
