Superman: Red SonSeries

This alternate history imagines a world where the Kryptonian refugee crash-landed not in Smallville, but in the Soviet Union. Instead of championing truth and justice as we know it, he is raised within a collectivist state, becoming a powerful instrument of Soviet propaganda. The series poses unsettling questions about the nature of power, freedom, and ideology. It's a dark and thought-provoking reimagining of an iconic figure.
