Plato told a story about a ring that makes you invisible and asked whether anyone would stay good if they could get away with anything. Superman is the man who puts the ring on and still behaves. Pop culture has spent ninety years trying to break him.
Each chapter changes one thing about him: a different upbringing, capitalism, trauma, resentment, politics, horror. Red Son, Irredeemable, Brightburn, The Boys, Injustice, Homelander and Omni-Man aren't treated as knock-offs, but as one long experiment on what power does to a person.
What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (207 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
