Absolute Superman is a superhero comic book series published by DC Comics, based on the Absolute Universe character Superman. The series is written by Jason Aaron and illustrated by Rafa Sandoval. In this universe Superman does not grow up with the Kents, does not have a hopeful childhood, and does not become the hero easily. Kal-El’s ship crashes on Earth, but not into a loving farmhouse. He lands near an industrial city, controlled by mega-corporations, private armies, and corrupt politicians.
