Names
Superman X. That's all he ever was before The Legion. Then, The Legion gave him a name, Kell-El. While it was still technically Superman's name, Superman never used it, so it was really all his. All he used to be was one in a line of failed experiments, clones of the original, but never as good.
Now he wasn't, he was more than another experiment, he was more than a mission. He was a part of something. Something big, something that would save the universe and he had no doubts about that. Not any more.
The thing that really got him though, was that although he was a part of something that big, he was never one of many. He was a separate entity, he was valued as more than just something to be replaced should he fail, he actually meant something to them. They valued his opinion, relied on him, trusted him. They didn't just give him orders and expect him to obey. And, by doing all of this, they gave him his own identity. He was no longer just Superman X, no he was Kell-El (or just 'Kell' to those who considered him a friend).
'Friends' he thought suddenly, 'That's what they are to me, friends. Maybe even more than that. Maybe, this is what it means to have a family.'
This thought pleased him more than he could have imagined in the months before he met The Legion of Super Heroes. To think, all this madness started with them simply giving him a name.
That's all for Kell, not sure who I'll do next, but I promise to do it well! Same deal as last time, like it hate it, have any ideas? Just let me know! ~BBear
