How would it go?

Inspired by the recent dad swap threads, how would things go if instead of Greg, Superman was Stevens father?

Superman is a bad dad that would make his kids sad.

Wut?

Steven wouldn’t be a fat retard living with other people.

C'mon there's no need for that

Kryptonians would unironically make the entire gemkind butthurt.

Eh, they're pretty isolated on one planet.

Wonder how much time Clark is gonna spend away from earth when finds out about the Gempire, and Roses importance, if he ever does find out about Pink Diamond.

That can really shake a guy

From a powerset perspective, he'd obviously be a lot different, and this depends entirely on how the story writes gems reacting to Kryptonian skin, we're going to assume for the sake of argument that its a 1-1 with humans. Now, from what we saw when Yellow stomped him, the shield itself wasn't able to tank a hit that Superman himself could easily shrug off in most, but not all, incarnations, so depending on how that goes it might be Superman with healing powers+some shields he could use for civilians but are useless for personal defense. Very helpful for Supes line of work, its a great fit.

From a personality perspective, Steven would be entirely different. Just ground up different. No way would Superman let the Gems do all the raising of the kid, and unlike Greg, Superman would have to be there from jump because his Kryptonian powers are going to be just as dangerous as his Gem ones would be. He'd toss Pearl over the horizon if she tried that shit grabbing his gem too, and he'd be able to hear/see that happening. He'd definitely instill Steven to be a more proactive person with his superpowers, something that would only grow when he learned Steven has healing abilities. I'd like to think he'd be open to Steven wanting to live a normal life, but its just as possible he'd fall into a very understandable mentality that someone like Steven can't just brush off all he could do. There would absolutely be huge pressure to live up to Superman, he's freaking Superman, not some washed up singer in a van. The Gems and Supes would no doubt clash a lot, which would probably add some strain on him, but ultimately he would still be the noble, nice, caring person who wants to make sure nobody gets hurt because that's as much a part of Superman as it is him. Oh, and he'd go to school. Actual school. Superman wouldn't take this 'let rocks with no social skills teach him' thing, he didn't with his kid in canon.

As far as dads go, Supes would be one of the best fits.

Thinking about it, Steven could still keep the Universe in his name. How?
It would be his superhero name, he first came up with it as a kid, and though he forgets, Superman doesn't, and reminds of it later on when he actually wants to begin heroing.

so gay.

Probably be curious about their similar crystal tech.

He probably wouldn’t want Steven being an outsider yeah

Superman tossing Pearls ass into the stratosphere for almost killing his kid is one of those things I need commissioned

Drawfags plz.

Rebecca mentioned Gems also get their power from light, wonder if that effects his Kryptonian side

>The Gems barely even getting a chance to take Steven as a baby before Clark rushes him back home faster than they can react.

That's one of the 'how the story interprets it' thing, because it could just as easily be his Kryptonian side drains the gem dry like a vampire and that causes drama as he's literally killing the last thing his mom gave him, and himself, or its just another powerup he can use if he gets Red Sun'd.

All I know is that the second Supes figures out about the atrocities the Diamonds have committed, he’s gonna cancel them harder than Cartoon Network cancelled Justice League Action.

>When Supes and Pearl first meet and Pearl gets jealous of Supes so they have this somewhat bitter relationship
>Get into an argument
>Pearl tries back talking Supes about how fragile human life is or how insignificant someone like Jonathan Kent was.
>He sends her into orbit
>Pearl stops being a bitch real fast.

If anything, his crystal and kryptonian abilities should work in perfect balance, with him gem abilities getting a bigger amp on account of his higher reserves of sunlight being stored inside, while his Gem can act as some sort of back up battery, when in presence of red sunlight or when he goes without a sun.
Of course this probably means his shield and bubble are vulnerable to kryptonite.

He totally could too, White's powers would do nothing on him, we know this thanks to Connie. He would literally just fly in there and beat her ass into the new moon he made out of their fistships.

>cancelled Justice league action
Shit bro why you gotta hurt me like this

Clark has more class than that.

You’re right.

He’d throw her into the Sun.

I don’t think Pearl would be mean enough to mock Clark’s parents. Seems a bit out of character for her.

>Pink Diamond inhabiting a kryptonian body

Kinda reminds me of this

>Superman with healing powers+some shields he could use for civilians but are useless for personal defense.
This is way more broken than initially thought. Superman's pure physical abilities augmented by sci-fi-magic powers would be extremely powerful, ridiculously so. He'd be able to protect everyone in a fight, heal anyone who managed to get injured, and he wouldn't need to wait a week before the dead raised this time! He could do it right away with some tears! Though I think Bruce would insist he not use that on him, since you know, Pink Knight doesn't have the same ring to it. He could even dreamwalk and control bodies.

Admittedly I don't know how good it would be against magic because the Gems are supposed to be some weird blend of tech and magic or just tech that works like magic, its never made clear because SU isn't a very detailed world. Stuff like Yellow's zaps and Whites powers seem to imply that its tech based and only work on the same tech, which is why organics aren't affected by them or Blue and they can't fuse with humans, but a tech-organic hybrid can, so any magic resistance is probably null. Still, even without that he'd be a top-tier powerful fighter in the DC universe, downright broken in some iterations.

She’s gone!

Personally I consider Gems to be similar to the Emotional Spectrum or the Power Cosmic, sort of like a middle ground between magic and science.

>Shatters planet in half.

>shatters the galaxy
Fixed.

Pearl was a massive bitch to Greg though, plus she is pretty dismissive of humans (or at least was)

>In this continuity, Krypton was destroyed by the Diamond Authority after a long and bloody war. Jor-el contacted the Crystal Gems, who he knew were hiding on Earth, to take care of him so that he may one day stop the Diamonds. However, there's an error and he lands in Smallville, Kansas.
>While he's travelling the world after college to find himself and save people in secret, he meets the Gems and almost immediately hits it off with Rose. The Gems quickly realize that he was the Kryptonian baby that was supposed to be sent to them over 20 years ago.
>Clark settles down in Beach City and eventually gets a job at the Daily Planet in Metropolis, which is in the same state in this timeline. It is here that he first takes the identity of Superman.
>Eventually, he meets Dru-Zod, a major general in the war against the Gems who was tried for war crimes and imprisoned in the Phantom Zone. He is enraged that the last son of his race not only considers himself a citizen of this world, he is in love with a member of the species that destroyed Krypton. He becomes one of his arch-enemies after that.
>Later on, in an attempt to kill both Superman and the Gems, Lex Luthor reverse engineers Kindergarten technology and creates Kryptonite, the first human-made Gem.
>About 4 or 5 years into his career as Superman, he gets a phone call while at the wedding of his coworker Lois Lane and famous rock star Greg Universe. It's from Bruce Wayne, and he tells him that Rose told him that she is pregnant. Clark eventually realizes that Rose and her child will not be able to exist at the same time. With the help of Kryptonian tech and some of the more technologically adept members of the Justice League, Clark finds a way to keep Rose alive by transferring her consciousness into a cloned human body just before she gives birth. The procedure is a success, and the baby is named Steven.

You lost me at the ending.

Not a bad start, I like it better if it’s just too unrelated aliens meeting each other.

Or something weird like Krypton being the ones who inadvertently created the gems with one of their colonies crystal tech becoming sentient and creating its own society over millions of years

How fucked would that be for the gems? To be literal mistakes made from leftovers that just happened to gain sentience.

Would they see Supes as a godlike figure? Maybe the explanation for their colonization is that’s it’s an extension of the Kryptonian programming to conquer and colonize planets.

Kinda like G1 Transformers.

>With both his mother and father around, Steven has a very different childhood then he does in the show. Because Rose is still alive and he gets to actually know her, he looks at her less as some great hero that he has to live up to and more as his mom and not much else.
>When Steven is about 5 or 6, Clark and Rose decides to have another baby, who they name Jon Kent. Unlike Steven, Jon doesn't have any Gem heritage
>Because she is now human, she retires from fighting with the gems to focus on raising Steven. The Gems don't really know how to handle not having Rose as their leader at first, but Garnet steps up to be the leader.
>At the insistence of Clark, Steven starts attending school unlike in the show. Because of his excitable personality, he's bullied quite a bit and people sort of think of him as weird. When Clark hears about this, he suits up as Superman and decides to talk to the bullies himself. The plan works and Steven, not knowing that his favorite superhero just happens to be his dad, is extremely happy that Superman came to help him.
>Once Steven's Kryptonian abilities starts to set in, Clark finally tells his son that he is Superman, his idol. The reason he didn't tell him until know was because he wanted his son to think of him as a normal guy. Steven is obviously excited, and ends up wanting to be Superman's sidekick rather than training with the Gems. Clark tells him that he isn't ready for some of the stuff he handles, and that he needs to train with the Gems. Steven agrees.
>Not only does Steven get training from the Gems, he is also trained in martial arts by Batman and in weaponry by Wonder Woman, along with training on how to use his Kryptonian abilities from Supergirl. Steven asks Batman if he could become the new Robin, to which Batman responds with a hard no.
>By the time of the movie, Steven has mastered all of his Kryptonian abilities, becoming even more powerful than his father was at his age.

>How would Rose and Savage work?
>Would she help him rule the world, if he acts benevolent?

Assume they share the same continuity and

Savage is already like 35 thousand when the Diamonds arrive.

And she becomes his ally for their common goal of defending Earth against Homeworld.

I'm really sorry for being this autistic

I like it. But listen. Rose and Darkseid.

Savage could work, but why Darkseid?
Is it because of Rose was an evil asshole trend?

Probably yes.

Try harder.

He wouldn't shatter them,there is a thing called Phantom Zone

I would actually read a miniseries of this.

Never said shatter. Just fuck em up

Eh, not sure how it’s superiror to bubbling

What are on about? No one compared Phantom Zone to bubbling.

Shit.
>What are you on about?

What would Earth-3 Super Steven be like?

>Gets a tan and then shatters the universe

He could but he wouldn't, most versions of Superman have a distaste of forcing his will upon governments and their leaders unless they are actively or directly trying to harm others. So he will probably not do anything to them unless they go back to their old ways, and try to colonize a planet with life.

Better yet
What if Bendis was a writter in SU?

Singing is replaced by talking.
What if Morrison was the writer?

True

I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemies

Like that little faggot needs even more powers...

Would love to see him fighting Zuke over coming up with most retarded ideas

I’m pretty sure this scenario is either just after Superman meets Rose or before Change Your Mind at most, so they would still be genocidal maniacs

And Supes would have no problem taking down Genocidal dickheads on their home turf.

They’re not maniacs, they just don’t really give a shit about non-Diamonds. Genocide is just a side effect.

>They’re not maniacs
>They’re just genocidal dictators
Sure Rebecca

They’re more sociopaths towards organics. Maniacs have chainsaws and whatnot.

>Lex Luthor reverse engineers Kindergarten technology and creates Kryptonite, the first human-made Gem.
Fuark, drawfags get on this

>Lex unveils his greatest creation to the world
>the Crystal Gems, Justice League, and Superman himself all step back in fear and awe

“Nah it’s ok, they’re not maniacs they’re sociopaths. Superman doesn’t fight Sociopaths.”

Oh I’m not saying he wouldn’t kick their asses, they’re just not maniacs.

I'm gonna be honest and say I don't think Gem and Kryptonian biology would play together well.

I mean, Maniac is described as “a person exhibiting extreme symptoms of wild behavior, especially when violent and dangerous.”

Yellow does for that definition, White has shades of that as well.

>Greg and Rose have Steven just as before, though Greg is irresponsible and the gems are well...themselves and dont understand human children, so Greg's friend Clark decides to help out being the stand up guy he is.
>Clark takes to being Steven's mentor after hearing about the gems and gem homeworld and decides to be a positive male role model to Steven.
>Clark tries to teach Steven about how to be a good person even with all his power.
"You know Steven, it's alright to cry, some times things happen that even Superman couldn't fix. When Pa passed away, I didn't know what to do. I had all these great gifts, and I couldn't save my own Pa. But then I remembered something he used to tell me when I was a boy, no matter how sad, or bleak things may seem, you have to keep going. Or else you'll never have another happy day in your life. Find your reason to smile Steven, then you might find that everyone around you will start to smile a whole lot more too."
Sorry for the sappy writing I don't even like SU that much but Superman just puts me in that kinda mood.

Why wouldn't they? They're ultimately both energy based beings, with Superman in some incarnations, like All Star, becoming pure energy upon further evolutions.
Reeves was a god sent.

Reeves is who I think of whenever I think of Superman, him and TAS/JL/JLU Superman for animated stuff.

It would be even more hopeful. And Damian would stop being a killer

I say that this version of Superman isn't heroing when he meets up with Rose. She probably meets him at a vulnerable point in his life, when he feels more alienated than ever. He probably sees Rose as someone who understands what he's going through, and they probably share their dream of living alongside humans and protecting them. They totally plan out what's going to happen as far as Steven is concerned. Supes drops his League responsibilities and devotes his time to raising Steven in Metropolis. He only sends him to live with the gems once he realizes that he can't step back from his role as Superman, and he wants Steven to learn about his gem side. He pops back in to visit Steven often. Instead of chatting in the town or on the beach they often talk while floating above the lighthouse, watching for gem monsters and alien threats.

I figured it would be before Clark officially became Superman or even appeared in Metropolis

Any situation where Steven isn't living with Supes is invalid. You think Clark 'ultimate family man' Kent would let a bunch of inexperienced Gems with no knowledge about Kryptonian or even human biology raise his son? You're pulling my leg.

Gems pull energy from the universe at large, they convert that into light I guess? I'd say his gem side helps prop up his Kryptonian half in red sun situations, but it probably isn't fun.

Honestly I'm not sure Pearl would treat Clark like Greg at all. At least not once she saw him fly. She'd be jealous as fuck, but she'd probably understand Rose being into him.

I Imagine Clark would call out Pearl for being rude, in a stern yet not aggressive manner.

A power ring would get along just groovy with gem physiology. A Pearl with enough will could even put the ring and lantern in her gem.

I imagine he’s gonna want to find a middle ground because they also loved Rose and Steven is all they have left of her.

>the Diamonds mess with Steven
>Basically the ending of Superman vs the Elite happens with the Diamonds instead.

They'd probably butt heads a lot because they're both incredibly stubborn, but Clark ends up winning Pearl over every single time by just being himself. He's the more extroverted median between Pearl and Garnet.

>Lex Luthor reverse engineers Kindergarten technology and creates Kryptonite, the first human-made Gem.
>due to kryptonite's unstable Crystalline structure and Lex attempting to speed up incubation, Kryptonite comes out like a cluster mutant.

No.

This is devoid of conflict.

I admire the amount of thought you've put into this, but it's too massive of a departure from the show for my taste. You're already changing Steven's character quite a lot by having Supes be his dad.

How about this other one?

Underrated

Kek. Its perfect.

imagine them when they learn about the new gods

superman already has regen tho, like deadpool/majin boo levels of regen

Really? I always figured it was more he was so durable he could never be hurt like they are. Got any scans?

the best example is in dark knight returns he regenerated back after being reduced to his skeleton by a nuclear blast

And then there is that time batman had to cut him open with a kryptonite scalpel because he kept regenerating the wound over a kryptonite bullet that was poisoning him to death

But shit's really inconsistent so feel free to put whatever

Well TDKR is non-canon to the main universe so I wouldn’t count it, and honestly he looks more emaciated than anything. Buu and Deadpool can be cut in half and just come regenerate, Superman doesn’t really do that because he can’t really be cut in half in the first placeZ

good point

There is also when Wonder Woman cut open his throat.

It actually makes perfect sense why they'd go after Earth in the DC Universe.

Seems to me the GLC could handle them though

I wonder though, if the Gems could in some way be related to the Emotional spectrum?
