The Maximortal by Rick Veitch7/7/2023 Related: The Boys: Why Black Noir Actor Is Happy About His Character's Kryptonite So far, it sounds vaguely familiar, doesn't it? The metallic womb crashes back to Earth decades later and is retrieved by an elderly couple who raise the child as their own. The series begins in 1908 when an alien impregnates herself and tosses the growing baby into space. At the end of the day, Maximortal is the story of the rise to global dominance by a stranger from another world who becomes omnipresent on Earth. Maximortal uses the universally known origin of Superman in creates a cynical, violent series that explores both behind the myth and the unlucky people who come in contact with such a being. In 1992, Veitch followed this up with the seven-issue Maximortal which, again, dove into the darker side of superheroes.
