10 Insane Alternate Versions Of Superman You Won't Believe Exist

6. Centaur Superman

In terms of insanity the Superman from Elseworlds miniseries Whom Gods Destroy should probably be at the top of this list, but he's almost too ridiculous to celebrate in anyway. You don't wanna give DC ideas when it comes to a follow-up. The bright idea of celebrated X-Men writer Chris Claremont, the story indulges in both Greek mythology and alternate history as the classical pantheon of gods meddle in human affairs to the degree that the Nazis win World War II and rule the world. Thanks a lot, Zeus. You big beardy jerk. That means you get the Third Reich version of Wonder Woman, which is insane enough as it is, but it's the version of Superman in this dystopian alternate reality which really takes the biscuit. Or oats. Because he is a centaur. Well, at the end he's a blonde woman, after crossing a bunch of literal trolls and harpies, but then he gets cursed by a witch and becomes half-Superman, half-horse, and lives amongst a harem of centaur ladies. And he's evil. It's only after Lana Lang whips out a bridle and rides him like a pony that he returns to normal, just in time for the Nazis to be defeated and for him, Lana and Wonder Woman to live happily ever after on the moon.
