Can an "Evil" or "Failed" Superman be redeemable?
We've seen many versions of a corrupted Clark Kent. I'm not talking about any of them, though. Do you think there could be an "evil" version of Superman who can, in the end, redeem himself and become the hero and symbol of hope that he was always meant to be?
Maybe something happened to Ma & Pa Kent when he was younger? Maybe he's trying to rid the world of all Meta-humans so he's the only "Super?" Maybe he's just a recluse and only leaves the Fortress of Solitude when absolutely necessary (perhaps after an irreversible failure)?
The magnitude of atrocities committed by him (if any) during this "evil" period would, of course, affect any possibilities of redemption. Personally, I feel like the only version that has a shot at redemption is a "Failed" Superman who finds hope again- something that most of us can relate to. I'd still like to hear your thoughts, though!
