Description
As the Metropolis Celebrations are underway, several of the cities greatest friends and champions gather to witness the fireworks and ensure no trouble occurs to spoil the day.

Starting from the back row they are;

Eradicator - A sentient ancient Kryptonian device created as a weapon with a power level roughly equal to Supermans, he has been both foe and ally to the Man of Steel. It took years for DC to hit on a strong design, then swept him into obscurity.

Steel/John Henry Irons - A genius engineer who turned his back on creating weapons to follow Supermans example. His powered suit enhances his strength and durability, allowing flight and various other abilities and functions.

Harley Quinn ? - A former Batman villain turned anti-hero and adventurer. I would be more than happy for the joyfully erratic Harley Quinn to resume her job as the Daily Planets agony aunt on an occasional basis and torment Jimmy Olsen as she once did in one of her jaunts to the city.

Guardian - A member of Cadmus, and one of the non powered heroes of Metropolis. A clone of the original street level hero and former policeman Jim Harper, Guardian is within Batmans physical class and a capable hero.

Natasha Irons - The niece of John Henry Irons/Steel and wears a powered suit to help protect Metropolis

Thorn/Rhosyn Forrest - A non powered vigilante with dual personalities, her main personality 'Rose' and her vigilante personality Thorn. A formidable combatant and impressively agile.

The middle row includes;

Superboy/Connor Kent - A human/kryptonian clone created by Cadmus with Lex Luthor and Supermans genetic code. While not as durable or as physically powerful as a full kryptonian, his hybrid abilities mean he is able to consciously manipulate his telekinetic field in a manner Superman and other Kryptonians cannot.

Maggie Sawyer - A former police Captain for Metropolis Special Crimes Unit, was a longtime supporting Superman character notable for being a near fearless leader ( she led her team against Doomsday, so she isn't lacking courage ) a single mother ( divorced from her husband ) and being an openly gay character long before it became important to have in a fictional universe.
The character was moved to being a supporting character in Gotham, which always bothered me since given the bulletproof creatures she faced in Metropolis, i felt she should have wiped the floor with most of Gotham's colourful but generally powerless villains, or at least would have shot a few. Anyhow i'd like her to go back to Metropolis.

Captain Atom/Nathaniel Adam - A powerful DC character with little to do in recent years, but years ago he saved Metropolis and almost every hero active from the villain Monarch. Additionally his daughter did work at the Daily Planet ( many years ago now ), so there is no reason he couldn't make more appearances in the Superman comics. At the very least he could provide a contrast to the Man of Steel, making for an interesting friend and rival.

Maxima - The imperious and powerful alien royal who was at her best when trying to temper herself into the mold of Earths champions rather than as a Superman villain, even if her mission for a consort to further her line and ambitions within her homeworlds empire still drives her activities.

Power Girl/Karen Starr - Supermans other cousin ( easiest explanation ) who prefers to follow her own path and refused to wear the 'S' shield on point of principle. More physically inclined than Superman or Supergirl in combat and tempestuous in character. A longtime member of both the Justice League International and the Justice Society.

Atlee - Isn't a character with a connection to Superman, but she has one with Power Girl, so the inquisitive but now more mature minded geo-kinetic heroine could make appearances.

And of course at the front is Superman/Clark Kent and his cousin Supergirl/Kara Zor-El
