To understand what you are about to read, you need to understand that the
following does NOT occur in the current timeline of the Superman comic book
series. Superman, as we know him, has changed quite a bit since this
particular storyline, taken and adapted from several years of online
roleplay, came into being. As such, try to think of where Superman was in
1997... just after the entire "Trial" ordeal. If you're not familiar with
that story arc, worry not... it really doesn't apply here.
The following story is my personal attempt to humanize Superman. My biggest complaint about the writers of the Superman line is their consistent attempts to make him into something alien... focusing more on his powers, and how much he is different from us... the normal humans who just try to be heroes with the limits that God gave us.
This first "story" will actually serve as an introduction to both my version of Superman (conflicts with current and accepted canon notwithstanding), and the world in which he has found himself -- the world of the Project Infinity MUX.
Note that all descriptions of the Project Infinity universe, although I use them for this text, are not my own creation. As such, I recognize that there might be a conflict of interest here; I recognize that the main arc of this story relies on someone else's thoughts and creations.
So... I do what I can to offer tribute and proper credit to those who inspired the story here, although I only ever knew him as "Alan" or "Earthquake." So... Alan, if you read this, and want me to remove it, I will. Otherwise, let the story continue.
