Date: 2013-06-03 04:14 pm (UTC)There are levels of comics expertise.
Anyone fannish qualifies as a comics geek, who can point out that the original Golden Age Superman started with abilities identical to those of Philip Wylie's Gladiator.
A manga geek, however, can tell you that Jerry Siegel's origin for the character is much closer to the original version in Hokusai's Sky Orphan Samurai Bastard.
(I told this to my partner Valerie, who goggled at me and said "Hokusai?" Her degree is in Art. You have to pick the right audience for some jokes. :D )
All that being said, it occurs to me I may have been spinning my wheels here; the Amazing Man story could have been JLI, so it don't count. Anyway John Stewart predates that by at least a decade, which in comics is like dog years.
