It's been a minute, due mostly to the craziness of the world. However, I've been at work, mostly listening to @LarryTye's book on Superman on audible. So even though this #SupermanAnalogue wasn't brought up, it's a bit of trivia that I've always meant to bring up: Power Man! Image
Power Man appeared in a story where Superman was threatened by Kryptonite, but he didn't want to risk Batman and Robin's lives. Instead, he deployed a robot to act as his surrogate, disguised as a new hero. While he couldn't fly, he was plenty strong and able to handle shit. Image
Since this predates the Superman Robots... I should discuss them... It can be seen as a prototype. He wouldn't be seen again save for as references like in Kingdom Come. Image
As a literal stand in for Superman during his more dangerous adventures, Power Man is a memorable figure from a period when there weren't that many Superheroes. This was the 50s in the stretch between the Golden and Silver Age. Now, he is notable for his design and as trivia. Image
