Fun fact: One of the Tandy Comics showed that Alec and Shanna live in Coast City. The same Coast City that got destroyed shortly after Superman's death. Assuming they didn't move in the meantime, The Tandy Computer Wiz Kids are dead.

Given how comics like to pull old characters and do some rebooting and retcons, it wouldn't be impossible to do something like that. Have 'em be computer-class mates with some teenage heroes, make 'em your standard hackers or maybe one of them's a minor technopath or constantly fiddling with technology in their spare time and inventing things via computer bits. Have them first discover their capabilities through dismantling or working on a TSR-80 computer. Make 'em fans of Cyborg, or use them in a story involving Cyborg Superman, or something. All the bits are there, they just need to grab and do what comic writers do and think up something wild.

When you consider what goes into reproduction and the crapshoot of a specific sperm fertilzing the egg at the right time, it's actually far more likely he WOULDN'T exist in this timeline. All it takes is one thing to occur differently on the night he was conceived (e.g. Dr. Wayne had an emergency call) and he'd never be born. While it would be nice to see the night in Crime Alley with a Superboy instead of young Bruce present, it's possible that night didn't happen because young Kal El might not have been interested in Zorro or was already busy as Superboy so they just never went to the movies.

@roguishpaladin
@roguishpaladin 4 жыл бұрын
Being out of business doesn't remove the ownership of intellectual property. Such ownership becomes an asset that is sold off along with the rest of the company's assets when the company is liquidated. Plus, if you originated the intellectual property, it's not "licensed" - you own the rights until you transfer them. I just checked what has happened with Radio Shack since bankruptcy, and it appears that the company which purchased them in 2015, General wireless, has decided to relaunch Radio Shack as a mostly online marketplace, with some physical presence within Hobbytown USA locations. I have no idea how well they're doing monetarily, but it is likely that the rights for the Tandy Whiz Kids resides with General Wireless. The copyright doesn't expire for 95 years from first publication (because US copyright law is stupid because of lobbying by The Mouse), so expiration of the copyright isn't a possibility here.

You know what the crazy part is? In a roundabout way, this comic's plot is BASICALLY the core conflict in the plot of Evangelion. Two magic tree sticks housing the wills of different creator entities argue about how the earth's biosphere should function. Find and replace "giant, depression-powered robots" for "Superman."

Superman's solution to this kinda reminds me of Bionicle: Time Trap. Basically, while fighting Makuta, Toa Vakama holds a hammer over the Mask of Time, and threatens to smash it, an action that would make time go nuts all over the universe. He uses that threat as a way to bargain with Makuta, and thus manages to get away with the Mask, and with a year where Makuta won't bother the Matoran that he was protecting. Obviously, the Time Trap example is better.

There was another Kal-El raised by the Waynes story. I found it in a digest sized reprint book, with Superman Red/Superman Blue as the cover story. In this story, Kal-El's rocket passed near a piece of Gold K. Which must have altered his flight path slightly as well. Instead of landing near Smallville, it landed about 100 miles away on the estate of Stately Wayne Manor. Thomas and Martha adopt him, and name him Bruce. They die, and he grows up to be Batman. His best friend is a red headed genius from Smallville, who invents a formula that grants him powers, and goes by the name Superman. I forget whether Lois falls for Lex or 'Bruce'. Anyway, Kara arrives, and thinks Superman is her cousin Kal-El, since he has the same powers as her. Then something happens, and Lex sacrifices his powers to restore 'Bruce's' rightful powers. Not a lot of meat to the story, but it was nice.

Given the complete lack of any kind of follow-up or later references, it’s entirely possible that the story was just something that Clark made up to keep the kids calm. That way, he could make sure it would be interesting enough to hold their attention, but not too scary. I could see Superman doing that.
