This the type of literature we're denied.

The Atomic Age of sci-fi was Superman's bread and butter. The looming anxiety of what will become of us as seen in far off fantastical worlds. Twilight Zone cautionary tales, a call to act - and Superman heeds the call from a phone box.

Even to this day, the Men of Steel upload the backed up consciousness of John Corben. They live by the manifesto he recorded as 'Superman'. And they sought to create a war brotherhood of steel in his honor.

They believed everything he said.
All of them did. Ironic, for he himself didn't.

Ultimately, what destroyed Corben was him ignoring Lois's warning that his magnetic-heart is broken. He died crushed by his own armor.

Lois gets her victory over her father.

But sadly, Metallo's memory lives on as a martyr aspiration for many insecure men. 'The Men of Steel'.

Televised at General Lane's facility, the working 'Super Force' project to push America into the space race, Superman clashes with Corben -

who gives up the ruse, allowing himself to morph fully into his Metallo design; Men of Steel at war

Catching Corben when he's at his most vulnerable, Lois has to essentially escape from his lair with only her wits and any prototype weapon she can find. Making her way into freeing Superman.

Naturally Superman taps on Corben's shoulder, "Excuse me sir, she said she's not interested".
July 23, 2025 at 2:42 AM
She is playing him. No one can outfox Lois Lane. So she makes him trip over himself. And feeling caught off guard perplexes him - a better man would be all about it, Corben however takes offense to it.

It agonizes him.

Lois uses him to get information on how to save Superman, the real deal.

His gospel catches on, but for the most part, he keeps running his mouth. Feeling like everything he does is now undermined by feeling like an imposter; the world only loves him for Superman, not himself, and he cracks under the pressure.
But Lois sticks around him, why?
July 23, 2025 at 2:42 AM
As Superman is locked inside General Lane's facility, Corben reaps the benefits of being a Superman a little too much - becomes embolden and starts going to press, spewing his manifesto about how the world tried to belittle him. "Emasculate" him.
Him against 'the machine'.

Settled on the idea that Metallo doesn't really need to be a mainstay villain in my SV setting.

Jon Corben is basically an investigator who takes jobs to get closer to Lois Lane; feels offended that she rejects him; he works with General Lane to become a Metallo to 'get rid of the competition'.

"Developed in the outlying cliff side of Binder Mountain, the newly developed district 'New Thanagar' has took Metropolis by storm as conspiratorial human focused advocates theorize that Superman is intent on replacing humans from human spaces..."

Alright, I'm game. Slott is good with big ideas and fun characterizations, so him evolving Superman's world is the right play.

I think they could've used the insanely cooler clone, if they were brave enough.
