This Absolute universe is giving me Krakoa Era vibes from Marvel. And I am here for it. Gonna be a shame when we go back to status quo, because this run is 🔥
Thanks for touching on the difference between ACTUAL AI and generative AI. Generative AI is just your old school Yahoo Chatbot, just suped-up primarily by the increased data speeds and storage capacities recent innovations have brought. It doesn't think, its just a slightly more advanced algorithm. If ANYTHING I'm annoyed that we're essentially destroying the world and it's NOT an actual AI! This isn't some Matrix or Skynet situation, just bad math and finance bros...
I think you’re on the right track with Brainiac being a version of Lex. But I think, considering the themes of this absolute Superman run so far I think they’re going to play it straight and just have Lex be the face of this AI brainiac that runs Lazarus as an allegory for corporations and how they are incentivized to use things like algorithms to best predict the masses Movements, whether financially or otherwise and keep” them in a proverbial “bottled city. There’s definitely other things at play for sure but that’s just my guess.
The suit is nanotech. Dust means nanobots. Sunstone is Kryptonian equivalent of vibranium. He has most of the usual powers we expect, or some form of them, but needs the suit to recharge efficiently and can’t recharge as fast as extreme exertion depletes his energy levels.
DC comics has given the ammunition for the nerds who want to say that Superman won’t be characters like the silver surfer. Or any Harold of Galactus, since they all have the same power. They would suck out all of his “solar energy“ in an instant .
I think Kal's suit actually is serving as a battery but the drain to serve in that function maybe eclipsed by the need to protect him/everyone from his recently acquired powers. I think the suit maybe dampening his powers because Kal-El doesnt fully know what he can do right noe.
Absolute DC is 3 for 3.
These ABSOLUTE books all been really good. The Darkseidverse is a W for DC
Hes a great story teller
Absolutely a good start for the Absolute Universe.

There were bottled cities around Brainiac.
I picked up my copy last Thursday. Great stuff! I'm not a big fan of mainstream Superman, but I really dig this!

Thanks for the video I am not a Superman fan but these might be my first comicbook title of his I will get.
I'm not a big fan of mainstream Superman. However, this take on the character is great!
I thought Brainiac knew of Krypton and helped destroy it, but wasn't From it. Did I miss something?
Bet we find out the suit is holding him back.
Maybe. If it turns out this version can absorb yellow solar energy himself.

So his super nano-suit cant store solar energy during the day to help him at night?

They need to focus on the absolute universe for all of 2025 if they can keep this quality up
All Absolute books are ongoing titles and will not end any time soon
Soooo Brainiac is seeming like the Wizard from Oz. Lol.
The suit WILL BECOME BRAINIAC AT SOME POINT
