Both can fly . . .

Also I'm not sure if this has come up but I would like to make a brief analysis of TANGENT and their Superman.

The most basic aspect of TANGENT is that it's technologically progressive but socially regressive. Both are meant to miss the 1990s by a great margin. How socially regressive are we talking? Jurgens himself noted that in the scripting for TANGENT they hadn't reached many of the social upheavals of the 1960s. So if society is about thirty years behind we can assume in 1973 they might still have been in something like the great depression.

Why is that important? Well there happens to be a famous, bald, telepathic, world conquering, depression era, DC superhero, that gained his powers from experimentation by a less than ethical scientist. That would be the original Superman from Reign of the Super-Man. Want more proof, in TANGET Superman Millar notes that pictures show Prof Chill was an old man in 1933 (the era of our great depression).

Anyway that's just my little, uh, tangent.

That's probably what's going to happen, I don't see Tangent killing Supes. But I like how he's like Superman taken to the next level. No longer is he just stopping bad guys he's actually something of a god, bringing a measure of peace and prosperity to all humans.

Harvey smacks Superman around a bit:

======

Pulls a "Neo," and stops a bunch of bullets/heavy artillery rounds being fired at him:

======

Destroys the White House, with a gesture:

that art sucks

I like how Tangent smacks Supes around and tells him how he is protecting just one nation while the US flags are there. Truth Justice and the American Way got smacked LoL.

The art does suck, but Tangent is still awesome.

Superman looks like an anime character in that top right-hand panel.

Harvey is the bad guy and lead character but if you take what super heroes like Supes do to the next logical step, you know they should have a stronger hand in world politics.

Tangent Supes is cool because his character is compelling, you want him to win more than most "villains" because he's decided to stop the bs there's a downside to his dictatorship but there was also a down side to free governments before he took over Earth 9. The lesser evil and all that.

Anybody see a little Tony Stark in this guy. Just a tinge?

Turns out Harvey didn't just get the White house. He got ALL the capitals around the globe.

Harvey has all the world leaders captive and gives them the ability to speak to each other.

SuperMAN (Harvey) blocks Superman's (Clark) telescopic vision. He also shows impressive skill using technopathy to independently operate a few fighter jets simultaneously.

After remotely detonating some kind of nuke with his power, Harvey actually contains the fallout with his powers while downing an entire naval fleet AND flying off with an AIRCRAFT CARRIER like it had wings.

Impressive.

Batman finds Lola... Harvey's ex wife who he granted the same powers as himself. Even SHE is afraid of Harvey.

She reluctantly agrees to join the fight against Harvey. Interesting tidbit is she claims the power to erase people from existence... kinda like Harvey did with the Joker.
