It's funny how expanded lore can give you answers to questions you never even considered.

In regards to the Back to the Future franchise, how exactly did Dr. Brown get the money for a hover conversion?

Bob Gale wrote an expanded story that chronicled Dr. Brown's first visit to 2015.

Doc is introduced to flying vehicles and wants a hover conversion, but the price is too steep and the silver he brought with him barely puts a dent in the price.

So what to do?

Dr. Brown goes back to 1938 and buys up all the Action Comics #1 on the rack, returns to 2015 and goes around town to different comic collectors and gets a fortune from the collectors market from the most valuable super hero comic of all time.

Being a big fan of Superman and Back to the Future, it was a treat seeing these IPs intersect.

In a weird way, it was like Superman was helping Doc Brown get his wings.

We know that a red sun makes them normal as us, a yellow sun gives them powers, a green sun slowly kills them but what about a black sun?

What Lex did not account for at all is human empathy, people in his own circle being brave enough to leak info, journalists and Superman having friends who'd help him.

Eve leaked info to Jimmy, who told Lois, who published a story about the pocket universe which we don't see but likely will get the government to start asking Lex questions and then Lois goes to the Justice Gang to get them to go save Superman. Terrific goes and takes out Lex's raptors and staff and guards his portal and his staff doesn't stop him so they're like going "Okay Lex is gonna get arrested, will cooperate and maybe we'll get plea deals".

Lex is freaking out because his plan is falling apart. When the government finds his pocket universe prison he's screwed. So he goes forward with opening the rift which nearly destroys everything. And guess what he ends up going to prison.

And Eve giving all those selfies to Jimmy they uncover his plot with Boravia which ruins his reputation.

He's got that deal with Flag Sr but he's still in prison and his reputation is in the toilet.

All thanks to Eve.

I made a very rough proof of concept for a Superman Intro in the style of Ben 10: Omniverse

Hi all. My name is Ed Gross and I'm the author of the oral history Voices from Krypton and co-author of Superman: The Definitive History. My day job is as Senior Entertainment Editor at Woman's World, and this look at George Reeves is an excerpt from a profile piece I had done on him. I hope you enjoy and welcome your feedback. Thanks.

Okay so I get there’s multiple different forms of kryptonite but like seriously why are their sooo many versions of it and what about the suns do kryptonians just absorb whatever solar radiation their body has access to and what does it mean for planets with more than one sun or planets that for example have separate suns but are lets say closer together if a kryptonian is stuck on one can they go to the different planet with another kind of sun and have different affects?
