History

Batman and Robin have Superman feed his Fortress of Solitude computer the question, “What would Superman’s other life have been like if Krypton had not exploded?” The answer: he would have had a younger brother, Zal-El; he would have become a member of the Space Patrol; he would be the best pal of Futuro, a Kryptonian named Xan-Du turned into a super-hero by a ray bombardment; and, when Futuro left Krypton to marry Lois Lane and live on Earth, he would have been given super-powers by the same radiation and protect Krypton as Superman. Unfortunately, Jor-El, Lara, and Zal-El would die in an accident.

Superman observes what might have been.

Notes

• This version of Xan-Du (Earth-One), including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the Multiverse in the 1985-86 Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series and is now considered apocryphal.
