6. Earth 23 €“ The Obamaman World

Look! Up in the sky! It€™s a bird; it€™s a plane; it€™s President Obama dressed like Superman! First appearing in Final Crisis #7 and then in Action Comics (vol. 2) #9, Earth 23 is comprised of predominantly African American superheroes. Wonder Woman€™s name is Nubia and is a character based off of Beyoncé Knowles. Superman€™s alter ego, Calvin Ellis, is the President of the United States €“ a character Morrison based on Barack Obama. This version of Superman took centre stage in The Multiversity; nevertheless, we€™d still like to see more of this Man of Steel and his cabinet of Justice League members. As representation and diversity become more important the current comic book industry, Earth 23 would be a prime setting to discuss these issues in a unique way. Plus Obamaman is just cool.
