Description
Superman as he appears in the last book of Superman: Red Son as President of...well most the world. Thats Brainiac's head he's holding.Superman: Red Son is a comic book published by DC Comics that was released under their Elseworlds imprint in April, 2003. Author Mark Millar created the comic with the premise "what if Superman had been raised in the Soviet Union?" It received critical acclaim and was nominated for the 2004 Eisner Award for best limited series.
The series was told across three large prestige format comic books. It mixes alternate versions of DC super-heroes with alternate-reality versions of real political figures such as Joseph Stalin and John F. Kennedy.
In Red Son, Superman's rocket ship lands on a Ukrainian collective farm rather than in Kansas. Instead of fighting for "... truth, justice, and the American Way," Superman is described in Soviet propaganda broadcasts "... as the Champion of the common worker who fights a never-ending battle for Stalin, socialism, and the international expansion of the Warsaw Pact."
His "secret identity" (i.e. the name his adoptive parents gave him) is a state secret.
The series is split into three parts and spans roughly 1950-2000, save for a futuristic epilogue.
again, I got that from wikipedia.org

One of my favorite video games, "Injustice: Gods Among Us", which I have for Xbox 360, if you pre-ordered the game at GameStop (Which I did), you could unlock "Red Son" alternate costumes for Superman, Wonder Woman and Solomon Grundy.

From the color scheme, Brainiac is colored like Megabyte from "ReBoot". A little "Inspiration", perhaps?

Well, I'm a big fan of ReBoot and it just reminded me of Megabyte.
