. . . and that's why he's so distant to Superboy. He knows Superman can be replaced because he's already replaced him.

My brain just exploded.

This sounds incredible. As much as it will probably break my heart, especially if *no one else knows* that this Superman's a clone. (Because if they do, then, WTH Supes? To not accept Superboy when your...predecessor's friends/family all accept you?)

Thirded!

But what if...like Jor-El(/the Fortress of Solitude) cloned Superman for some reason (because the other one was dying, or something?

Re: Superman is a Clone fishiemishie October 19 2011, 01:04:42 UTC

Or Dr. Leo Quintus (All-Star Superman)? Intriguing idea either way!

Re: Superman is a Clone anonymous October 19 2011, 01:34:38 UTC

...Quintum is so hot. *shift eyes* WHAT? I dig the...everything.

Whoops, I meant Quintum! XD (And all the L***** intellect without the megalomania...what's not to love?)

Stupid character count. I was 68 characters over! 68!

I’m not sure if this is what you meant, OP, as I don’t know if you meant that “Superman’s a clone, and everyone knows” or “Superman’s a clone, and no one knows but him.” I went with the latter option, I hope that’s okay.

Super!clone is ‘he’ or ‘him’. Original!Superman is ‘he’ or ‘him’.

Superman-

No.

Clark Kent-

No.

Who?

Who is he?

It wasn’t fair. He was the first clone, wasn’t he good enough? Didn’t Cadmus believe in their creation enough?

That was the worst part about it all, the he knew that he wasn’t really Superman. He had all his powers, all his memories, everything- including the knowledge that he has been created, he was a fake. It was like being in an endless nightmare, looking in the mirror, and taking off the mask you see only for there to be another mask and another.

And the knowledge that below the masks was something hollow.

He couldn’t stand it sometimes. Talking with his friends, doing his jobs, saying hello to his mother…

Genetically speaking, she was his mother as well as his, but other than that…? He had his memories, when he had fallen over, and hadn’t been hurt (the first clue), and his mother had kissed the spot where an injury should be anyway, the day his father trusted that he had enough control that he could learn how to milk a cow without hurting her, his first day of school, first kiss, first steps… All of it his and in his own ( ... )

I love this!

Yeah, whether people knew or didn't know didn't occur to me until after others started discussing it. I didn't want to say something to step on someone's imagination if they'd been bit by the prompt . . .

tl;dr I AM SO HAPPY. IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME.

I love how you employed italics for Clark!Superman. And I know there's been a Christopher in canon, but with Christopher and Brandon mentioned as possible names I was totally thinking Reeve and Routh.

The contrast between the happiness of the childhood memories and the knowledge they're not real . . . you gutted me, writer anon.

Er, much love, sorry I'm rambling.

Re: i see myself in you and me (fic) - OP anonymous October 19 2011, 15:39:20 UTC

Yay~ I'm glad you do! ♥

I'm so glad the italics made sense, and weren't just a big pile of WTF? I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, so... ^^;

Actually, tbh, the Christopher and Brandon thing was a total conicidence... I couldn't think of any other 'C' boy's names, or any 'B' boy names besides 'Bartholemew', which I think the Flash family has dibs on. ^_~

I'm just really glad you liked it. ♥

Oh, I like this. Yay identity crisis. Good and angst-y times.

Re: i see myself in you and me (fic) anonymous October 19 2011, 19:56:01 UTC

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. ♥
