Description:



Superman: Birthright is a twelve-issue comic book limited series

published by DC Comics in 2003 and 2004, written by Mark

Waid and drawn by Leinil Francis Yu.



Originally, this series was to be Superman's new origin story,

updating it for more modern readers. However, after the

events of Infinite Crisis, both this series and 1986's The Man

of Steel miniseries, by John Byrne, have been removed

from continuity in favor of a new origin story that has yet to

be told.



A portion of the new origin appeared in Action Comics #850,

which showed Kal-El being born mere hours before going into his ship

and being sent to Earth. The story mostly follows Superman's early years,

including meeting Lois Lane and his first confrontation with Lex Luthor in

Metropolis. In the series, Luthor combines kryptonite with advanced

technology to discover the history of Krypton, then uses that knowledge

to fake an alien invasion and cause the populace to fear Superman.
