After watching, Superman: The Animated Series, from 1996, just for nostalgia, I came up with this idea, I hope everyone enjoys it and that it inspires others as well.

Maelstrom: The Animated Series

Chapter 1

Pilot

Smallville, Kansas

It was just another simple day in the life of the Kent Family, while teenager, Clark Kent was demonstrating his abilities to his parents, such as his slowly growing super strength and heat vision, by bending a bar with his hands and staring at the piece of metal until it melted in the middle.

Where as standing by the pair was Clark's adopted brother, Naruto Uzumaki Kent, who happened to be adopted a few years ago when he appeared out of thin air in one of their fields, unconscious and hurt, all the while holding a strange hammer, which Naruto had quite the grip on in his unconscious state, so the family had no choice but to bring Naruto into their homes, where during his unconscious state, the hammer was "downloading" all of its original owner's memories into young Naruto's head, even the languages it knew thanks to said owner.

Which meant that when Naruto woke up he understood the Kents, though he had a British Accent, while speaking "ye olde English" making the young Clark to struggle not to laugh at such "fancy" talk, though the parents were quick enough to stop all of that, but once Naruto had explained his background, while trying to "force" himself to speak normally, though it would seem the British Accent stayed, the Kents have decided to welcome Naruto into the family, since they already had one "strange" boy, what's one more added to their family.

Naruto soon got into the flow of working on the farm, along with going to school, which caused the young man to grown and whine, which caused the males of the family to chuckle at his view on school, since they both understood the "horror" of school life, though Martha Kent soon put a stop to Naruto's negativity towards school and gave him "the look" which made the males shudder at the sight, even Clark, since no matter how strong or powerful a man can be, nothing can be as scary or frightening than a mother's anger.

Anyway, Naruto was actually at home when the car accident happened near the school, seeing as he had already completed his Mid-Term at the top of his classes, thanks to Clark and Martha helping him out with his studies, not to mention staying put for said studies due to Martha being over his shoulder to keep an eye on him, since it turned out his attention span was still a little bit of a problem.

But due to having to help their folks on the farm, Naruto was let out early, allowing him to sort a few things out on the farm, which is why he wasn't there to help Clark out, seeing as he's now 100% Asgardian, mostly due to the hammer's energy replacing Naruto's chakra over the years, which Naruto soon explained at the same time of his arrival to the Kent Farm, calling it Mjolnir, along with explaining the hammers own origin as well, about how it's original owner was Thor, The God Of Thunder, which took the Kent Family by surprise, but soon accepted such a story, seeing as Naruto appeared out of nowhere and Clark was an alien.

Speaking of which, Jonathan and Martha Kent soon began explaining Clark's origin, or at least the part where they found Clark as a baby in a rocketship, with Clark at first denying such a outlandish thing, but due to all the evidence of his extraordinary abilities, such denial was being swept away, along with Jonathan passing Clark a strange box that began showing Clark his true origins, such as the planet he was born on called Krypton, along with his Kryptonian name being, Kal-El.

But like any other teenager, Clark wanted to deny it and ran out of the barn, wanting to clear his head, with Naruto staying with their folks, "Just let him go, he'll calm down and come back when he's ready." Which Jonathan and Martha were reluctant, but they knew Naruto was right, since Naruto had explained to them how he needed some time by himself when he found out what was sealed inside himself when he was born.

Though it wasn't long before Clark had returned, only this time he had landed in front of his family, showing that he had actually flew in the air, having landed gently onto the ground, where the family soon had a group hug, which also meant that Clark had accepted his origin as well.

Years Later

In Metropolis, everyone was talking about a couple of people saving a few others, where one was mistaken as a "red and blue angel" the other was called a "flying gold guardian," though a certain Daily Planet Reporter didn't take too kindly about the rescues taking front page of the newspaper, where she then began complaining to the chief, Perry White about it.

Only for Perry to quickly change the subject, since he knew how to handle Lois at this point, by introducing a couple of new faces, these faces just happen to be Clark Kent, who was now an adult, wearing a pair of glasses, where next to him was his brother, Naruto Kent, who became a bit more buff due to his Asgardian physiology, while holding an umbrella in his hand.

Where Lois then shaked both of their hands, though noticed the item in Naruto's hand, "What's with the umbrella, expecting rain blondy(!)" She jokingly asked.

Hearing this causes Naruto to chuckle, while Clark just smirks in amusement, where Naruto replied, "As far as I can tell, it pays to be prepared, after all, better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it, right(!)" He joked back, which caused Lois to have a surprised look on her face, since no-one was ever brave enough to joke back at her.

It wasn't long before the group made their way to the elevator, though due to a runin with Jimmy Olsen, Lois had managed to give both Naruto and Clark the slip, hoping to beat them to the Lex Expo and get the scoop, but as it turned out, she was left in the dust by the two, since both Naruto and Clark were at the Expo before her, with both being mysterious about their appearance and what they've got from their interviews, since they've both come to realise the type of person Lois was.

Though after witnessing the exosuit demonstration, Naruto had a slight distasteful look on his face, "What's the matter with you whiskers, not a fan of the demonstration(?)" Lois couldn't help but snark out, still feeling somewhat jealous of the brothers getting some insight before her.

With Naruto replaying, "Just not a fan of weapons." Where Lois heard the serious tone in Naruto's voice, telling her that he didn't like such a means of "defence" against enemies, which she can somewhat agree to, but due to only being a reporter, she couldn't really do much but write and publish stories.

Only as Lex was making his speech, a group of people crashed through the building planning to steal the exosuit, yet while there was panic and pandemonium going on, Lex had calmly walked away, where as Clark and Naruto had managed to sneak away just before the thieves had made their appearance, where Naruto then slammed his umbrella down, causing a quick flash of light to cover him, along with something that sounded like thunder boomed, with Naruto being thankful that everyone was distracted by the comotion, with his outfit having a gold and blue viking-esq look, along with a cape, golden winged helmet and long golden blond hair and beard, with him being thankful that he didn't have to shave or get his haircut after when he "puts away" his superhero outfit, since his hair and facial hair returns to normal, while Clark had quickly changed into his own superhero outfit.

As the guns from the hover bikes were shooting, practically scaring the civilians, Naruto quickly jumped in front of a few stray bullets that were about to hit some civilians, using Mjolnir to protect his face and the others, "Hurry! Get to safety!" He soon exclaimed, which caused the group to quickly run away.

After the people were cleared, he stood up to his impressive height, his chest firm, though he quickly went back to getting the people out of the building, which the thieves used the destruction for a quick getaway with the exosuit, all the while Clark had saved Lois from a ceiling scaffolding that was about to crush her, which obviously took the woman's breath away.

Where Naruto walks up to Clark, pats him on the shoulder, pretty much stating that there's still work to be done, where Naruto starts spinning his hammer, while Clark simply pushes himself off the ground, with Naruto then holds the strap of his hammer and takes off in flight, along with Clark joining him.

Lois was shocked at the pair of flying men, though while her "reporter" half of her mind was thinking to itself, 'What a scoop!' The other half quietly whispers, 'What a hunk!' But it was far too quiet for her to even listen due to her reporter-mind focusing more on the exclusive instead, just proving what type of person she was.

Outside

During the chase, the hover bikes had tried to shoot the superheroes down, but their bullets were having no effect on them, with Clark simply pushing their hover bikes into one another, causing them to have to bail out, while their bikes explode, though luckily they had parachutes so the heroes didn't have to worry about that.

Though as the pair were flying towards the leader with the exosuit, he fired a rocket towards them, only for both to dodge it, though unfortunately it ended up hitting a plane's wing, with both seeing this having no choice but to try and save the plane before it crashes into any of the buildings.

Where at one point, Clark tried to grab the tail of the plane, but it broke off, with Naruto coming up from behind him, "Quickly brother, get in front of the plane to steer it away from the buildings, while I try and stabilize the missing wing!"

With that, both of them quickly rushed to do their jobs, managing to maneuver the plane into the park, though Clark was slightly buried he soon pulled himself out of the rubble, with Naruto walking towards him with a smile and patted his back for a job well done, at least for the plane part, where the pair soon took off again to parts unknown.

All the while someone was recording their take off.

Daily Planet

A few hours after the robbery, Perry, Jimmy, Lois, Clark and Naruto were in Perry's office trying to figure out who the pair were, while both Naruto and Clark were thankful that no-one was able to recognize them in their superhero outfits, though Lois remarked about the "S" on Clark's chest, where Lois soon explained what she thought of the guy in blue and red, while naming him Superman, hearing this, the brothers became slightly confused at the name, where Perry and Jimmy soon agreed that it sounded good.

"Yeah, but what about the other guy, I mean, with that hammer and long blond hair, he kinda reminds me of Thor, ya know, from the myth?" Jimmy soon pointed out, catching the others attention, with them nodding in agreement.

Though Perry wanted to use Thor's name, he decided against it, otherwise people will start thinking the Daily Planet wasn't doing "real" news anymore, but make believe, but figured that both heroes were working together, seeing how they interacted with each other, so any reporter worth their weight in the newsroom should be able to get such an exclusive interview with them, along with pointing out how because the two heroes were unknowns it may cause the city to panic.

Kent Farm

It wasn't long before the brothers went to their family farm to discuss their problems, where their folks were talking things out about how Clark and Naruto could give their own story on their backgrounds, though hearing this had pretty much gave Clark an answer, where he then looks towards his brother with his "casual" smirk, pretty much telling Naruto his idea without even having to speak, where Naruto blanked out for a second, thinking of the outcome.

"Oh~ She's going to love this(!)" Naruto couldn't help but state, where his old prankster nature was slowly resurfacing.

Metropolis Outskirts

Right now Naruto was waiting for "Superman" to do his thing of bringing Lois to this area, having figured it'd be the best place to talk to her without anyone gawking at them in their hero outfits, though while he waits Naruto was trying to come up with his own name, seeing as Lois had pretty much gave Clark his own.

"Hmm, what should I call myself, I can't just be called "Hammer Guy" or "Thunder Pants" or whatever, that would send the wrong message, but it's got to have "Thunder God" in it...~" It took him sometime to try and think of something.

Where it suddenly hit him like a flash, "Oh, I know, I'll use the English meaning of my name, since that would be perfect, seeing as my hero look has long hair and a long beard, hiding my whisker-marks, along with my helmet giving me even more coverage, yeah, Maelstrom The New God Of Thunder, has a nice ring to it!" Naruto, or the now self-named Maelstrom, was getting excited at the thought.

Though just in time, seeing as Superman was flying towards him, with Lois, and her car, with Maelstrom figuring Superman was "kinda" showing off for her, but moved on from it.

Where due to his relaxed form, seeing as this was pretty much an interview, Maelstrom had his arms bare of it's usual chainmail-type cover, showing his bulging arms and muscles, which was pretty perfect considering he had to carry around a heavy "looking" hammer everywhere.

Anyway, Lois quickly entered "reporter mode" and started her interview with the pair, starting off with Superman, seeing how he had saved her from the steal beam, with Superman soon giving his background of his origin, while leaving out his upbringing in Kansas and his adoption into the Kent family.

Then it was Maelstrom's turn, where he started with his hero name, though Lois made a remark about being called a "god," but Maelstrom had brushed it off, stating how he came from another dimension, along with pointing out that he was living proof that the Multiverse was real, along with stating how it was the hammer's fault for bringing him to this dimension, seeing as he was worthy to wield it, which Lois questioned about that, where Maelstrom explained the spell that was put on the hammer by Odin himself, 'that whosoever holds this hammer, if they be worthy, will possess the power of Thor,' which Lois was skeptical at first, though Maelstrom simply placed the hammer on the ground and offered either Superman or Lois herself to try and lift it, though Clark did try it before, but even with his strength the hammer wouldn't move, so Lois gave it a try, but nothing had happened, though Naruto's eyes did stare at something, but thought it was just some dirt moving, where Lois tried to come up with a logical reason, though Maelstrom had simply picked the hammer up with ease and simply stated that they're not worthy, causing Superman to chuckle, since Naruto had used the same line as before, though Lois had a slight pout on her face at being made fun of, but brushed it off since it was kinda funny.

Where he then did a normal background of how he and Superman had met up, leaving out the same stuff that Superman did about the Kents adopting him, where Maelstrom soon stated that he(Maelstrom) and Superman were "brothers in arms" in their fight against evil doers.

Though Lois found that line pretty cheesy, but considering she was talking to someone who only spoke "ye olde English" it was pretty understandable that Maelstrom was kinda putting on a show for her, though she had to pause every now and then just to try and understand what he was saying, after the interview, with Lois managing to ask both for a photo of them with her, just for proof, where she took a camera from her car, setting a timer for it, while both Maelstrom and Superman were standing next to her, where Maelstrom had his arms crossed over his chest, unintentionally allowing the camera to take a picture of his muscular arms, which more than likely will later regret for obvious reasons, while Superman had pretty much stood the sameway, only because his arms were covered by his outfit, it'd mean women would be more focused towards Maelstrom's arms than his own, with that out of the way, and Lois would no doubt get the photo dealt with, possibly by Jimmy, who'll no doubt be jealous that he didn't take the photo, both Superman and Maelstrom made their exit, flying through the air for whatever is gonna happen next.

After The Interview

Turns out, once the paper was published Naruto had regretted quite quickly at posing for the photo, since everywhere he looked, women were pretty much eyeing his image, while fanning their faces with either their hands or a piece of paper or something, making Naruto complain to CLark about women seeming to be just as perverted as men, causing Clark to chuckle at his slight slip up, but it was Naruto's own fault for wearing his "relaxed" outfit instead of his full armour one, with Naruto pretty much pouting for a few hours.

Metropolis

Also it seemed that a few women than Maelstrom will meet in the future were "enjoying" the picture, minus Lois since she's more focused on being a reporter, though seems to be drawn more towards Superman. (A.N. Not gonna say who the women are since that would be up to whoever adopts, but I'm sure there'll be quite a number. lol)

Gotham

Turns out having an alien and a god on earth was spreading around the globe like wildfire, even a few of Gotham's women were fanning themselves at Maelstrom's big strong arms that look "almost" like they were flexing on the picture, even a certain "crazy girl" was enjoying the sight, seeing as her boyfriend was more focused on trying to take out a certain Caped Crusader.

Where as a certain nature-lover was also enjoying the sight too, with her liking the fact that the so called "God Of Thunder" was also apart of nature, seeing as plants needed water to survive, so rain would obviously be apart of the "Thunder" aspect of Maelstrom, with her wondering if he'd be willing to water her plants now and again, pun intended.

Next Day

Turns out, their next adventure was interviewing Lex Luthor about his stolen exosuit, though it almost looks like Lex wasn't too bothered about the theft, though when Clark and Naruto began questioning him about the "windfall" of the pentagon more than likely asking for bigger, better exosuits, it would be easy to see Lex getting more money for such a thing, with Lex not really "enjoying" the accusation towards his character, where he then asks the group to leave.

Though as they were leaving, Naruto also noticed Lex's assistant, Mercy Graves, was also looking at a certain photo from the Daily Planet, making Naruto raise an eyebrow at such a sight, which Mercy quickly noticed someone looking at her, seeing Naruto was looking at the photo, she quickly hid it as fast as she could, while trying to hide her blush, making Naruto smirk a little awkwardly and walked away, not wanting to get on the bad side of the woman, though he did feel an embarrassed/angry glare at the back of his head, making him think to himself, 'Ye~ah, best not to say anything about that, otherwise I'll be targeted in a different way than when I'm dressed as Maelstrom.' With him catching up to the others, never knowing he might've just set himself up by being targeted by Mercy Graves.

Anyway, during the car ride, Lois pointed out that both Naruto and Clark were the second and third people to get under Lex's skin, with her being the first after she dumped the billionaire, which surprised them both at such a thing, since they figured no-one would be brave enough to do such a thing.

But as they were driving, Clark pointed out that it felt that Lex WANTED the exosuit stolen, where Clark and Lois did their own sleuthing and research, while Naruto did his own research in disguise asking different "unsavory" people that might know a few things.

Naruto soon returned, where it turns out a few loose ends were already tied up, making him wonder how his brother was doing, where it turns out nothing was catching his eye, all the while Jimmy was showing him photos that he took, while Clark gave Naruto the info on his theory as well.

Only for something to catch Clark's attention in one of the photos, where he might've found proof of the theft and where the exosuit might be, with Naruto following him somewhere, which allowed them to slip away from Jimmy and change into their hero outfits, though Naruto went to the roof for his change, considering his was a thunderous boom, making people think that it might rain at some point.

It wasn't long before Maelstrom and Clark were at the docks, along with heading out to sea to save Lois, where Maelstrom was using his hammer to bash people away, though one of them tried to punch him in the face, only for him to wince in pain at possibly fracturing his hand at such a boneheaded move, "I commend for your bravery, but tis was pretty foolish to think such a thing would affect me." Where he then just backhands to thug with ease, knocking the man down, though unfortunately, the leader was now in the exosuit, using it to attack both Superman and Maelstrom.

Having no other choice, both heroes quickly decided to vacate the ship, seeing as such a place wasn't built for such a battle, with Superman carrying Lois, they made it to the docks, where Superman quickly told Lois to call the police, though as the brothers were flying towards the exosuit, Maelstrom couldn't help but ask, "Do you really think she'd call the police first and not Perry?" After hearing this, Superman thought on that for a moment and just rolled his eyes, he should've known by now that Lois would call Perry first and the police second, but right now, they had other things to worry about.

With the exosuit hitting them both away, which had caused Maelstrom to drop his hammer, which the man in the exosuit saw and thought that it might give him a chance to end the hero, only for Maelstrom to hold his hand out, where the hammer quickly flew back into his grip, which caused the man in the suit to pause for a moment at such a sight, giving Naruto enough time to spin his hammer with its strap and used the momentum to bash the exosuit away from him, leaving a big dent in the body, "I hope Luthor has insurance for this giant metal suit, HAVE AT THEE!" Naruto soon called out, charging at the exosuit.

Though it wasn't long before Superman and Maelstrom had pretty much broken the exosuit apart and took the man to the police, though both had managed to catch Lois's talk with Perry about "stopping the presses" making both flying men to look at each other roll their eyes at the woman's stubborn, reporter mentality.

Next Night

It wasn't long before the newspaper was spreading about Maelstrom and Superman stopping the terrorists, though that had put Lex in a bad mood, considering the man was asking for a refund of the billion dollars that his country had paid for towards the exosuit, but Lex denied such a thing, seeing as he did follow through on his end, stating how it wasn't really his fault that the men that had the exosuit couldn't keep their hands on it due to Superman and Maelstrom's interference.

Only the man left once he saw who was outside Lex's window, where Superman and Maelstrom were hovering, while Maelstrom was spinning his hammer above his head like a helicopter.

Though, Lex, trying to be factious towards the pair, while denying any involvement in helping a terrorist group, but both didn't even bat an eye at the man, Lex even went to try and "showboat" his wealth and power, along with practically owning the whole city, he even tried to bargain with the pair into working for him, but still nothing, yet their silence only set Lex off, causing him to throw his exosuit figurine that was on his desk.

But Superman merely caught it then crushed it in his hands, while clapping the dust away from him, where Superman simply states, "We'll be watching you Luthor."

While Maelstrom's eyes glowed and had sparks of lightning dancing in them, while thunder boomed in the distance, this was his own warning towards the man as well, with that, both Maelstrom and Superman flew away, all the while Lex was yelling at them to come back wanting to have his own last word, but they were gone.

Yet on the streets, the citizens were cheering in excitement at the "brothers in arms" superheroes flying by, thus began the daily life of both Superman and Maelstrom, wondering what the future may hold for them.

Never knowing that a piece of Krypton's history and menace was soon to make its own appearance.

The End.

There you go, an Asgardian-Naruto/Superman: The Animated Series Crossover, as you can guess, I used a bit of my other Naruto/Superman Crossover, since I thought, who better to be apart of the 1996 cartoon Superman series than a Asgardian-Naruto with Mjolnir, considering all the enemies that Superman ended up facing by himself, so why not have someone with "godly powers" like Naruto. lol

As for the pairing(s), obviously Clark and Lois would end up together, but as for Naruto, I'm not too sure, considering how many women are on 1996 Superman: The Animated Series.

Though I think I'll do one more chapter at a later time, but it'll obviously be a switch from one of the other episodes, though I'll leave you to guess which one before I start writing and posting it. lol

I Do Not Own Naruto Or DC Universe.
