There are an infinite number of universes in the multiverse, some similar but different from the one where the Justice League protects the Earth.
There is one where Kal El of Krypton landed on Apokolips and was raised by the world's cruel tyrant Darkseid to be his son and ultimate weapon.
One where Bruce Wayne was chosen to be the Green Lantern of Sector 2814.
This is one universe where it is similar to the main universe, except a certain young hero from another universe existed here...
Queens, New York and a young man of fifteen years of age called Peter Parker was in the living room in the apartment where he lived with his Aunt May. He was laughing watching an ad on TV of an upcoming movie called Wacky Raceland, "...A movie studio gets the movie rights to a Hanna Barbera cartoon and they decide to go Mad Max on it..." Peter thought looking at the movie advertisement.
He then changed the channel so it was now showing a TV news report of a battle in the middle of Manhattan, New York. It showed a small figure shooting out webs in a red and blue stitched together costume with goggles and a black spider logo on it, using web like fluid from silver devices on his wrists (that he called web-shooters) to attack and travel by swinging from building to building. The figure called Spider-Man was fighting some masked men with rifles as they were attempting to robbed an armoured car filled with bank money. The news reporter said over the video clip:
"...this was the scene yesterday when the masked super powered vigilante known as 'Spider-Man' was seen foiling a bank heist, apprehending the masked robbers for the police but leaving a considerable amount of collateral damage to the nearby area..."
"Oh come on I did the best I could..." Peter moaned looking frustrated.
"This is the latest of such damage in incidents involving the vigilante ever since he started appearing in New York six months ago..."
Peter then angrily turned the TV off and went to his room. He then opened up a secret compartment in his room showing the Spider-Man suit, goggles and Web-Shooters.
"Six months since I got these powers, I try to do the best I can at helping the public but people get angry if things get banged up when I save people or catch the bad guy, still I have got to keep going as Uncle Ben has shown me that bad things happen if I don't try."
He then looked to his wall were there were posters of the world's superheroes including the world famous Justice League, Supergirl the cousin of Justice League leader Superman (with most boys at his school Midtown High having a crush on her) and Captain Marvel who was the Superman of Fawcett City. He then sighed...
"Still, some are luckier than me, if only there was a way I could be as respect as they are..."
*S&S:RTU*
All the way in Smallville, Kansas a blonde haired sixteen year old girl with a red cape, a dark blue shirt that showed her stomach, a red and yellow S shield emblem on it, red skirt with yellow trim and red boots with a yellow trim was in the middle of a fight herself. Floating in the air she was fighting a man in a black powered armor with a black faceplate. She was holding her by his collar and was pounding him until she ripped the nuclear power source in his chest plate out and threw him to the ground.
She was Kara Zor-El or Supergirl the cousin of the world famous hero Superman, brought to Earth like her cousin but due to being frozen in her pod and it going off course she only landed on Earth about a year ago while Kal her baby cousin had grown up to be Superman. She was now following in his footsteps as a hero while her cover was living in Kansas with her cousin's foster parents as Kara Kent. The man she was fighting was Ben Krull her arch enemy the supervillain Reactron.
"It's over Krull, you had best surrender." Kara told Krull sternly as police officers came to take Krull into custody. After his broken faceplate fell to the ground in pieces he then spat in her direction.
"Enjoy your popularity while you can Supergirl, you know that deep down that these power fear aliens with power like you and your cousin. They will need people like me to put people like you down." Krull spat as he was being taken into custody. Kara sighed as she looked around showing that while most people were applauding her there were some that looked scared at the sight of her. Kal told her that some people are good at hiding the fear they had of them but she was not really convinced when he would tell them that they just need to do the best they can to do good and show they don't have to be afraid.
She then flew off to think to herself over the fact that while she is popular especially with teenagers and children, she felt that she would not be able to live up to the standard that her cousin had started with his over a decade long career as Superman (even before officially being public as the Man of Steel when he was performing rescues in Metropolis as the figure that the media had dubbed 'the Blur'). She was thinking this over while Kal (or Clark Kent as he was known as on this world) was off to another galaxy to visit his friend Vartox the alien protector of the planet Valeron.
She did not know if there was someone she could go over this to be honest, there was her older sister figure and Clark's fellow founding member of the Justice League Diana or Wonder Woman (who had been helping to fight evil as Themyscira's ambassador to the outside world) who helped train her to fight on her island home of Themyscira when she first came here but she was not sure she would be of help. Perhaps she could try her luck at talking to the Super-Man of China.
Well she was sure it would come to her sometime so she decided to fly off to clear her head...
This is basically a rewrite of Young Justice: A Spider-Man and Supergirl Story which was a rewrite itself. Yeah as someone who grew up on Hanna Barbera shows and movies, I am weirded out with the comics based on them DC has been putting out like Wacky Raceland though I might check it out when the trade comes out. Here is what you can visualise for the costumes:
Spider-Man: a prototype costume from Captain America: Civil War (he will be going to the normal one later in the story and yeah his home life here is based on what is seen there)
Supergirl: Justice League Unlimited look
Reactron: Supergirl show
Also yeah I have bought and read the first issue of the New Super-Man series (digitally on the DC app on my ipad just like my Marvel app that I use to buy and read the latest Marvel books that I follow) that they released as part of DC Universe Rebirth, not sure so far since this new Superman Kong Kenan is introduced as a bully (on the other hand Kamala Khan the current Ms Marvel in Marvel comics won be over instantly when she was first seen as a fanfic writer) but I will keep reading and give it a chance.
