ITT: we retcon origin stories

What if Superman's meteor (the one he came in on) killed the Waynes leaving Bruce as the sole survivor?

God elseworld idea, combine it with Wayne becoming the next lex type villian, and we have ourselves an elseworld.

So what Bruce looks up from the flaming wreckage of his home and swears a war of vengeance on outer space?

It would be even better if Bruce never found out until years later that the man in red underwear flying around Metropolis is the same alien that killed his parents
Add in the World's Finest bonding so the reveal hurts even more

no, he tries his best to accept the fact that it was out of his control, and that no one was to blame, but the meteor leaves the "S" shaped rock in Bruce's house and keeps it for years, then Superman resurfaces with the same symbol and his shit and Bruce goes full commando

What if William Hand isn't actually Black Hand, but it was really his son, Michael Hand?

I could swear this elseworld exist allready

Yeah.
And Lex should adopt Superman.
And groom him to be a weapon for his behest.
Meanwhile Batman trains to fight him
Then the first night Superman is let out, Batman shows up with Kryptonite bullets, shoots him, then kills himself.

>lex trapped in a room while Bats and Supes is outside
>"Hey batman, remember that meteorite that killed ur mum?"
>"yeah?"
>go press play on VLC on that computer
>"footage shows that the meteorite is of kryptonian origins with green shit flying"
>we then see the kents take the baby out of it
>Batman goes apeshit
>civil war

There's one where the Waynes find the rocket and raise him as Bruce

Superman's capsule lands in Lexcorp property, and he gets taken care of by Lex's father, to be made into Lex's personal weapon

What if Jor-El was wrong about Krypton's destruction and Superman was still sent to earth ?

An Elseworld story where Killer Moth managed to stay at Bruce's level of power and danger, never detering from being his ultimate arch-enemy.

>while taking their son out to see the Mark of Zorro, the Waynes are suddenly struck down by a meteorite
>While rescuing Bruce from the site of the incident, Alfred discovers that the meteorite isn't actually a meteorite, but some kind of ship containing a baby
>knowing that being an orphan in Gotham is hard, Alfred takes the child in and resolves to raise him as Bruce's brother, naming him Thomas
>buries the ship, never tells a soul what really happened that night
>Thomas grows up humble and kind, never once taking for granted the fact that Alfred very kindly took him in
>Bruce, however, grows bitter at having had his parents taken from him for no reason, and comes to resent having to share his fortune with Thomas
>When Thomas' powers begin to manifest, Alfred feels he has no choice but to tell the boy the truth, or at least what he knows of it- he still doesn't know where the ship came from, or anything of Thomas' true heritage
>Bruce overhears, and the resentment he's been feeling for years comes to a head
>He snaps and steals away from Wayne Manor with a sizable portion of the fortune, intending to use it to take his rage out on the city of Gotham itself
>The fact that his parents were stolen from him by the little brother he never wanted in the first place is ironic to him, and almost comical- this feeling informs the creation of his new, unhinged criminal identity.
>Thomas, realizing at once that the new criminal plaguing the streets of Gotham is none other than his older brother Bruce, resolves to use his powers to make an end to it
>He fashions a costume for himself, reasoning that the sight of Thomas might just make Bruce fight harder, but he might be more willing to give up at the sight of something he was afraid of... Like bats.

>Superman acts as a version of Bizarro to Lex
>He actually does do good
>Since Lex has no Superman to kill, he just does whatever he feels like doing, and eventually ends up making an army that kills Darkseid
>2040, Lex Luthor, King of Mankind, has ensured that humanity is the only source of power in the universe, yet still has Clark live

I found it my dude, it's a story called worlds apart
Synopsis: Superman's rocket kills Bruce Wayne's parents and scars him when it lands on Earth. Lex Luthor adopts the alien baby. The grown-up disfigured Wayne kills Superman in revenge for his parents' death then kills himself.

It's part of the Elseworlds 80-Page Giant.

It's shit

lmao

>Superman's meteor

Someone get this man a job a DC already.

ONCE I CALLED YOU BROTHER

She was born autistic and the lab is all in her head. Dexter is still a true genius in the real world but the stress of having to deal with an autistic sibling all the time has driven him insane.

>character has x and none of it was real the entire time
i hate you

The radioactive spider still bit Peter, but along with the superpowers came an aura of radiation. He doesn't realize this until Uncle Ben is diagnosed with cancer despite living life as healthy as possible before. Spider-Man creates drugs to suppress this aura of radiation, but not before Uncle Ben's condition is made terminal. Ben dies, and Aunt May shows signs of also picking up cancer. Spider-Man feels extremely guilty, and does everything he can to help get May the care she needs, even slipping a couple of dollars into his costume when catching bank robbers.

Yes. Genocide all aliens.

Instead of being a Titan, Thanos is instead a leading class of Skrull born once every few generations made to lead their kind to greatness. This gives him the insight to wish to gain infinity, to show he is the ultimate among all else.

>it was all a dream

no thanks

This is pretty cool.

Sounds good to me.

>Kakarot's ship lands in Metropolis on the same day Kal-El's ship lands in Smallville
>Kal is raised as Clark Kent by Thomas and Martha to be human
>Kakarot is raised as Subject 26 by LexCorp to one day serve as a living weapon
>Not long after Superman debuts and makes it clear that he's going to thwart LexCorp's ambitions, Luthor authorizes the deployment of Subject 26
>Superman and Subject 26 are evenly matched
>The fight ends when Kakarot's older brother and his two superior officers arrive to check up on his progress, having followed the signal of the Saiyan ship lurking in the depths of LexCorp.
>Subject 26, still under the effects of Luthor's years of brainwashing, attempts to fight the three Saiyans. He is killed by Raditz for insubordination while Nappa and Vegeta begin the process of razing the planet, as Kakarot was supposed to have done years ago.
>Earth is annexed and becomes Frieza Planet #00198-2
>It's lack of nearby civilizations and interesting weather patterns make it a popular locations for tourists looking to "rough it" for awhile. Frieza embraces this vision for the planet and eventually markets it as a campground.

What if Uncle Ben was killed in action by Stark weaponry

You really think Bruce would want revenge for a freak accident like that? It's like asking what would happen if a Drunk driver ran over his parents, would Bruce swear vengeance on violent street crime or dui?

The asteroid would be even more accidentally as no human error was involved.

Can't be as bad as Created Equal, Distant Fires, or Act of God.
