No other choice. When the one and only S steps away all that extra time off many of them spend has to be taken care of. The man can litterly figurtivly and factually do 50 super heros job in one day and still get home for dinner. lol Thats what happens when you are the legacy and the blueprint.

But all of those heros cannot say with a shadow of doubt they single handly saved the world or humanity as many times as Superman has. Thats kinda the point and respect thats givin. If Superman steps away like Atlus was suggesting to him, what happens if and when Doomsday shows up? Or Darksied? Even Wonder Woman has a limit(extremely far but she has one) and it takes the combined effort of the league to be the heros for the world just like any group. Superman just embodies a different symbol and i think people dont see that as much as just some super strong character. another way to look at it from a joking point, Teen Titans Go episode played around like they have in the main comics with givin certain characters that have no powers, powers. Namly Robin. He basically was complainig that the Titans were lazy because they had powers and Raven the rest said they were a curse. But to him that would be a resource he had to work for his skills. So Raven gave him basically all of Supermans powers. Whats the first thing he does? Show them they arnt needed ljust like Batman would. He flies off, two secs comes back and says he already locked all criminals up, solved world hunger and figured out how to have world peace. LOL So the titans packed their bags and said no point in being titans anymore. lol Again not that the point is missed but on that end they basically made fun of characters like Superman or anyone with the ability and skill to solve everything in almost an instant and yet doesnt. Thats reality hitting the imagination.
And this kids is how you write superman. Dont make him a constant danger to everyone, just have him be a good guy who inspires people. I know crazy! Superhero’s dont have to dark and gritty all the time!
I think it's good to have both. This is my favorite Superman moment EVER, but I still like the dark versions as well. It's nice to have a good balance.
@@bethelnosike9089 it's really not that simple, he's not Jesus, he's just a kid from Kansas that wants to do the right thing. Because of his parents he holds himself to the standards that he knows no one else will. THAT'S why everyone will come to his defense when he's gone. He inspires hope in and out of the comics.
Just shows how far superman will go to help people. He'll hold up the heavens just for you to see your daughter's wedding. That's what makes Superman Superman.
That's exactly what he is, the creators vision of the best qualities of humans on steroids. He's a really REALLY nice sensible professional, empathetic guy in peak physical condition. On a million.
Alfred is the tiktok Anatoly dude that comes by to wipe the dirt underneath Atlus and just picks him up, moves him to the side with ease, then places him back. Meanwhile Atlus lowers his head in shame.
That's why I love Superman and more so Superman when he's written correctly. Not a moody powerhouse that's unsure of himself, but a hero that humanity aspires to be like. Not for the superpowers but for the righteousness. A superhero for sure but one that saves the people, friends enemies and strangers. Gods and peasants. A guy who would hold up the heavens for a father who wants to spend a day with his daughter or a guy who rescues kittens from trees. A person of integrity...who just happens to have superpowers.
It's because Supes works on the concept that absolute power does not have to corrupt absolutely or even at all. That the world needs to see a being that has absolute power and can do anything and chooses to always do the right thing. Not because he can, or because he should, but because it's just plain right.
One of Superman’s greatest powers, is that he makes people around him want to do and be better…often beyond what even they thought they were capable of.
Yeah it’s not physical strength is mental and willpower strength so technically someone like Batman or Hal Jordan with his willpower could pull the same feat
@@TheSuperboy_Prime you mean the guy who’s literal thing is having a strong mind can’t handle a hard mental task your literally saying this just cause you like Superman
“Supporting my siblings” is a weird way to describe Atlas standing by Kronos as he tried to keep his tyrannical regime going. There’s a reason the gods of Olympus wanted revenge and fought so hard.
@@authorofone I'm sure you must also hate how Kratos from God of War is nothing like his myth counter part... How Disney's Hercules is such a butchering of the myth. Yeah weird, but it was my retelling.
Which I believe is different from the myths. He tricked Hercules into holding the sky and was going to dip. Then Hercules tricked him by saying he just needed Atlas to take it so he could readjust to sit properly. And then he dipped.
Its both. The intial lift and burden of weight is the start within the will power to let go but also hold everything in place. Its also why others felt they could help. No one else is about to averagely hold that weight will or strength.
Everyone's hyping up Superman, but: 1. Atlas holds a weight that was that hard for Clark every single day which kinda makes him one of the greatest heros in DC since all the work everyone does wouldn't matter if he just let go. 2. This man WILLINGLY went back and took the weight off Supermans shoulders, not knowing when next he would be able to be free of his burden. Fiction often portrays Atlas as cruel and evil. It's nice to see the alternative cause it's really sweet that way. Edit: I'm all for discussion, but if one more person mentions the weight of the Heavens not being a physical thing I'm gonna hurt some feelings. I can see how you'd think that's what I am implying, but I am merely commenting on and complementing Atlas' mental fortitude. I'm not making a statement about him being physically stronger than Superman, so you can stop being butthurt.
Well, Atlas is a Titan punished to hold up the weight of the world and the heavens by Zeus. It is the reason why in the story, Zeus was pissed that Atlas was even there at the wedding. As no being, other than Atlas, should be able to carry the world and the heavens. Yet, Superman did it. Plus, if I re all the story. Atlas DID think about leaving Superman there. Yet, had second thoughts. As the world still needed Superman. And his place was to hold up the world and keep life going for all. Even his own daughter and son-in-law. So he reclaimed his place and bear the weight. All so others can bear their own weight and even lift them. In some weight. Atlas is never alone in this task. Even times get tough. There are always those people who rise up above it and carry it all to be a beacon of hope. As we all cannot be Superman. Yet, we can at least attempt to be better than him. Greatest heroes never wear capes. And never inspire to be heroes. They just live normal lives and have normal days. Yet, moment that norm is shattered. Something clicks and they rise up to bring order and safety to those in need. Never asking for anything in return. Those are the real heroes.
@Qardo I agree with what you're saying because it's a nice message, but. 1. I don't have a degree or anything, but I am still a 2000s child who was infatuated with the more fictional aspect of life. Which, as most would guess, lead me to good old Rick and his books, along with a terribly unhealthy obsession. I grew up loving the Mythos and researching it. Not to an extensive depth, obviously, but I know most of the bare-bones basics. 2. If Atlas didn't at least think about leaving Superman there, he wouldn't be nearly as impressive. It means he acknowledged that he could have been free and still went back, even if it wasn't something he wanted. Actually, especially since it wasn't something he wanted. Edit: I just noticed I accidentally wrote this with a tone that sounded upset and pretentious. That was not my intention. Apologies to @Quardo. I meant no offense. I have since fixed it so that it no longer seems so crude, or at least I have given it my best attempt. Apologies again to Quardo. That was ill mannered of me.
Well no atlas struggles just as much as superman plus it changes for everyone so they struggle just as much it's not really a strength feat but ye the fact that he came back is the better feat
Well not really. If, like Percy explains in Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods, Atlas is the one guy holding up the entire sky, but since it’s “everything you can bear and more”, he can’t exactly lift it up enough to get it off him and he can’t just decide to stop supporting it, as either way the sky will fall from that point and crush the world with himself first, so he has to hold it (or find someone else to do it) or he’ll be destroyed with it.
@@cosygoose1813well i think hes pointing out the series because the series tries to explain why atlas can't drop the sky as maybe the mythology itself doesn't explain
To be fair, Atlas is a Titan, a much different breed of power compared to the gods from what I've seen over most fiction and most variations of the Greek Pantheon.
If that short glimpse of the world is what Clark saw imagine what Atlas has seen in the milenia hes supported the world. Atlas probably knew the world was in safe hands for the day so he could enjoy his daughters wedding with no worries and he also knew that the world would step up and help lighten Clarks burden just that little bit.
Superman gave Atlas the only thing he'll ever need to serve out the rest of eternity lifting the heavens: a priceless memory with his daughter. Lifting the heavens is something technically _anyone_ can do strength-wise, but it takes the strength of your heart to hold everything together. Only a select few will refuse to buckle under the pressure. Be like Clark and Atlas. Tackle the heavy weight of life with everything you have. Don't lift with all your *might,* lift with all your *spirit.*
Anyone can do it but how long can they last remember atlas hold the heaven for eternity and everyday but superman just hold for 1-5 hours and after that he got tired and need a nap.
Billy Batson did something similar. He took his place in a story where Atlas was killed. He barely held out for an hour, but it's a great feat of mental fortitude for a 10yr old boy.
This will always be the Superman I will cherish. A willingness to help anyone in need because he can and wants to. I'm glad he gave Atlas a chance to spend quality time with his daughter on her special day.
Remember He said Lift it With Your Heart so he did and the whole World 🌎 felt Supermans heart and hard work and how ppl would have a heart of gold and help others
I'm pretty sure the author has stated its both, but regardless it wouldn't be his greatest strength feat anyways. It is just something interesting that happened.
@@NathanTrubyI think the best way to put the feat into perspective would be to say that a newborn baby would be able to do it easily when a grown man would have difficulty depending on how good of a person he is.
@@samankucher5117in Hercules story atlas tricks herc to take his place and was planning on leaving but herc tricked atlas in return because hes an idiot to take it back real quick so he could toe his shoe and will immediatly take atlas's place once hes done then dips.
Due to other versions of Superman(e.g. Injustice, Zack Snyder, etc.), a lot of people who are not aware about the multiverse concept thinks classic Superman and Injustice Superman are one people.
I don’t hate superman. He’s actually one of my favorite heroes. It’s his fanbase that I despise. Because they dickride his power level saying he beats anyone and everyone.
@@IanLaurequez03 That is not it. People hate him cause he is a Gary Stu. He's been made perfect. Strenght, power, looks, morals, intelligence, etc. And that makes for a boring character. Added to that, it is harder to relate to a perfect character as none of us are perfect
Funfact: Even Lucifer and Dream both respect Superman especially Dream because Superman was able to give hopes and dreams to everyonebwho ever knew him so he kept Supwrman's entire existence and ever existence on a sheet of paper with him at all times. Lucifer does give Superman a high regard after meeting him once and said "of all the people who have the strongest will, you are the mortal with the strongest will" while subliminally saying it as a joke.
Actually….. he was cooking when he said you need endurance and immortality. Replace strength with heart and it would be correct. A baby could do what atlas does if it had the heart do to so
there should be more super hero stories like this. not about who would win. not about who’s right and who’s wrong. just about helping others in need. especially other heros. that’s what hero’s do.
The fact that Superman is strong enough to carry the heaven on his back just long enough for Atlas to return from his daughter's wedding is a feat so unique even for a Kryptonian. Makes you wonder if Kryptonians have a potential to become true gods in their own right.
I mean Superman isn't a regular kryptonian. He's a kryptonian demigod. The House of El (lit. House of Light) are descendants of the Kryptonian God of Sun, Rao
Things of the world cannot REACH Heaven. Toons/Manga/Comics/Anime are things of this world. Heaven is where THE KING OF kings and LORD OF lords sits. LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Yeah, more of a heart thing than a physical strength thing. Lord help Annebeth if it was physical strength, she was under there for like, what, 3-4 days?
*It annoyed Zeus coz he fought no one character has that strength until superman stepped in)* *Zeus you might be a god superman however is greatly something else not known to you or any one on your level or beyond*
Dumbest thing I’ve read on this video so far. The Gods use Magic. What’s Superman’s only weaknesses? Kryptonite and **Magic.** Superman can simply NEVER be on the same level as the Gods. He is a Demi-God at best. All Zeus needs to do is strike Superman with lightning and Superman will be instantly weakened. Why do you think Superman has such a difficult time against Shazam and Black Adam? They are Demi-Gods empowered by the magic of Greek Titans and Gods. A true Greek God would Smite Superman into a pile of ashes within 2 seconds.
Supes held up the skies so that Atlas could attend Calypso's wedding. Poor Calypso, fell in love with men who could never visit her island once they left. Now Leo Valdez knows not to make his lovely wife cry, because Superman is always just a holler away for Atlas to come down raining destruction onto Leo's head
You know what that symbol means on super man’s chest? Hope, that’s what keeps us from tearing each other apart. Don’t lose it. It’s why he’s able to share with god. This is actually an insanely amazing scene. Hope allows us to turn the other cheek and share. We don’t need promises or words or anything. Hope requires nothing but returns the infinite.
Idk what it is in the real greek myths but from what I have read in the Percy Jackson books (though they arent that accurate so dont take my word for it), their were 4 titans who held up 4 corners of the world before the Titans were overthrown by Gods and Atlas took their place as a punishment. I dont exactly remember their names but I'm pretty sure Iapetus (Bob, as we PJO fans know him) was one of them. I dont remember the others.

This story is one of the 12 Labors of Hercules
Imagine if Atlas was like....
"Aight f*ck it, I'm done"
_drops heavens, world ends_
Well not really. If, like Percy explains in Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods, Atlas is the one guy holding up the entire sky, but since it’s “everything you can bear and more”, he can’t exactly lift it up enough to get it off him and he can’t just decide to stop supporting it, as either way the sky will fall from that point and crush the world with himself first, so he has to hold it (or find someone else to do it) or he’ll be destroyed with it.
percy as in Percy Jackson? You do realise that Percy Jackson is its own series. Greek mythology is very different.
@@cosygoose1813well i think hes pointing out the series because the series tries to explain why atlas can't drop the sky as maybe the mythology itself doesn't explain
@@jenniferzhang9824 So it would take at least Atlas and another Titan or God to turn the Earth into a pancake?
There's a few demigods that can hold it for him for a while.
Whatta Legend. Has a literal God forever grateful to him. Atlas would bleed for the last son of Krypton.. Pretty big flex!
this is my kind of superman. just an all-round good guy
Zeus did not think anyone could bear the weight atlas holds. His son Hercules standing there in the background like dude what the fuck
To be fair, Atlas is a Titan, a much different breed of power compared to the gods from what I've seen over most fiction and most variations of the Greek Pantheon.
@@Fowlplay141but Heracles has done it already once before when atlas tricked him
Hercules: "Dude. Who also fell for it even after reading what I went through?"
@@Fowlplay141the Titans were just were not more powerful the Greek gods they just outnumbered them so they god help from there relatives.
TBF, I remember that he did have help from a goddess as well.
Superman is the biggest bro right here
Superman's real power is just being the best person ever. I smile thinking about him. So pure!
Exactly, he's the very best qualities of humans on SUPER HGH.
If that short glimpse of the world is what Clark saw imagine what Atlas has seen in the milenia hes supported the world. Atlas probably knew the world was in safe hands for the day so he could enjoy his daughters wedding with no worries and he also knew that the world would step up and help lighten Clarks burden just that little bit.
Bro took a break from holding the heavens like it’s was another day on the job💀💀
Ma and Pa Kent would be _proud_ of their little alien boy. They raised him well. ❤
They're the real heroes. They raised an extraterrestrial demigod into the embodiment of everything Americans want to aspire to.
@@Thoralmir American 😂
@@shahnoormaredia5269 No, Americans, plural.
Superman gave Atlas the only thing he'll ever need to serve out the rest of eternity lifting the heavens: a priceless memory with his daughter. Lifting the heavens is something technically _anyone_ can do strength-wise, but it takes the strength of your heart to hold everything together. Only a select few will refuse to buckle under the pressure. Be like Clark and Atlas. Tackle the heavy weight of life with everything you have. Don't lift with all your *might,* lift with all your *spirit.*
Bro... Shut up.
And like Percy Jackson ❤
Anyone can do it but how long can they last remember atlas hold the heaven for eternity and everyday but superman just hold for 1-5 hours and after that he got tired and need a nap.
Billy Batson did something similar. He took his place in a story where Atlas was killed. He barely held out for an hour, but it's a great feat of mental fortitude for a 10yr old boy.
Nice
Atlas: I'd like to shake your hand Superman but you might drop something.
Superman shifts the heavens to just his left shoulder, "put it right there bro "
Super man is the nicest person you could ever meet.😊
Atlas actually came back after tasting freedom. That’s good writing right there!
The fact that Zeus was annoyed is the best part.
This will always be the Superman I will cherish. A willingness to help anyone in need because he can and wants to. I'm glad he gave Atlas a chance to spend quality time with his daughter on her special day.
Much respect to Atlas for not leaving Superman to keep the heavens lifted.
I almost forget the Greek Gods exist in DC. It's so bizarre
Remember He said Lift it With Your Heart so he did and the whole World 🌎 felt Supermans heart and hard work and how ppl would have a heart of gold and help others
Love how people use this as a strength feat when it isn't.
Glad this video points that out.
Not like he hasn't done anything crazy
I'm pretty sure the author has stated its both, but regardless it wouldn't be his greatest strength feat anyways. It is just something interesting that happened.
Oh, it is a strength feat, just not a physical one like people keep claiming it is.
His mental strength is amazing all though physical this man still dies to a crystal so it’s definitely not a strength feat
@@NathanTrubyI think the best way to put the feat into perspective would be to say that a newborn baby would be able to do it easily when a grown man would have difficulty depending on how good of a person he is.
Superman is just so wholesome bro
Superman is the embodiment of good people that do good deeds and the "nice guys have limits when it snaps"
And there's dc always trying to f##k him up to turn him a bad guy
When someone says this character can beat superman with ease needs to remember superman held infinity
The bible says that Jesus upholds the world by the word of his power.
So he basically did what Heracles did
i don't remember the wedding part in the Greek story.
@@samankucher5117 Greek Myths Atlas is a less reasonable fellow
@@samankucher5117in Hercules story atlas tricks herc to take his place and was planning on leaving but herc tricked atlas in return because hes an idiot to take it back real quick so he could toe his shoe and will immediatly take atlas's place once hes done then dips.
@@samankucher5117 It wasn't wedding the reason to Heracles take Atlas place but, it's basically the same thing.
Cotocoyerakson Yeah pretty much ^^.
"Lift with your heart not your hands."
Such a simple but powerful quote. I wanna see a live action iteration of this scene now
🎶there's a starman waiting in the sky he'd like to come and meet us but he thinks hed blow our minds 🎶
''men don't cry''

I like wholesome stories like this.
Who disappeared on Supes better?
Atlas or Batman
How about his parents and planet?
@@addison_v_ertisement1678 NAH
@@addison_v_ertisement1678bro…that was so cold you make mr freeze seem like the hottest man on earth
Definitely Batman
@@xdrakon8196I mean Mr. Freeze is kinda hot 😏😉
This just made me love superman even more.
Hercules: HE STOLE MY WHOLE F***ING FLOW!! BEAT FOR BEAT, BAR FOR BAR!
And people still think Omni-man is stronger
"There's a staaaarman waiting in the sky, he'd like to come and meet us but he thinks he'll blow our mind" ahhh moment 🗿
Thank you Clark for sticking it to Zeus. An giving Atlas a perfect day. 🥰
This is why Superman is the greatest hero
Atlas is king OG in the Bible. That same rock crushed him after fighting Moses
That's a reachhhhh
@@MarkelBrown-f6f it ain't
Zeus creeping in the back with a lightning bolt 😂
I like how they use Greek mythology in the marvel universe
If the world had someone like superman maybe it would be worth living in even a fraction of the good in his heart would help this planet
No clue why people still hate on Superman. He’s just a good person and a true hero 💪🏽
he's stinky
Due to other versions of Superman(e.g. Injustice, Zack Snyder, etc.), a lot of people who are not aware about the multiverse concept thinks classic Superman and Injustice Superman are one people.
I don’t hate superman. He’s actually one of my favorite heroes. It’s his fanbase that I despise. Because they dickride his power level saying he beats anyone and everyone.
@@MattyGears1583I've been a Superman fan for almost 50 yrs. I can't stand those fans either. It's not about the Super it's about the Man.
@@IanLaurequez03 That is not it. People hate him cause he is a Gary Stu. He's been made perfect. Strenght, power, looks, morals, intelligence, etc. And that makes for a boring character.
Added to that, it is harder to relate to a perfect character as none of us are perfect
Most wholesome Greek + DC moment
Superman went Bro Mode for Atlas.
Praise be Kal-El 🤜🤛❤
Couldn’t you just stick a couple of power jacks underneath there? 😂😂😂
Funfact: Even Lucifer and Dream both respect Superman especially Dream because Superman was able to give hopes and dreams to everyonebwho ever knew him so he kept Supwrman's entire existence and ever existence on a sheet of paper with him at all times.
Lucifer does give Superman a high regard after meeting him once and said "of all the people who have the strongest will, you are the mortal with the strongest will" while subliminally saying it as a joke.
you need absolute strength & endurance and Immortality to do what atlas does.
Nah you just need heart
Actually….. he was cooking when he said you need endurance and immortality. Replace strength with heart and it would be correct. A baby could do what atlas does if it had the heart do to so
@@drculegit2849True ^^
there should be more super hero stories like this. not about who would win. not about who’s right and who’s wrong. just about helping others in need. especially other heros. that’s what hero’s do.
The fact that Superman is strong enough to carry the heaven on his back just long enough for Atlas to return from his daughter's wedding is a feat so unique even for a Kryptonian.
Makes you wonder if Kryptonians have a potential to become true gods in their own right.
It wasn't physical strength that carried the heavens it was Supermans spirit. Literally says in the vid
The writer said it was a metaphor for carrying his own burdens
I mean Superman isn't a regular kryptonian. He's a kryptonian demigod. The House of El (lit. House of Light) are descendants of the Kryptonian God of Sun, Rao
Don't be lame
I mean other versions of Supes has him bench pressing the world with one hand with relative ease so its not too surprising
Things of the world cannot REACH Heaven. Toons/Manga/Comics/Anime are things of this world. Heaven is where THE KING OF kings and LORD OF lords sits. LORD JESUS CHRIST.
If you think Atlas is a bad person, always remember he could have left superman there for eternity.
I like the idea that in order to hold up the very heavens, it doesn't take immeasurable physical strength, but an indomitable/unbreakable will.
“I bench press planets bro.”
"this needs willpower bro"
That was actually beautiful. A single tear is falling as I write this.
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
And THIS ladies and gentlemen, is why we love Supes.
Man, that superman, what a guy! 😆🥲👍🏻 looking out for atlas! That's so cool!
Atlas is the kind of guy who tells u your seat belt is not fastened at the last second of a roller coaster ride
Greatest hero of all time
Clarks struggling vs Hercules in marvel casually lifting it.... although for a short period of time....but , no struggling
Thor lift asgard and superman lift heaven both are greatest superheros
PERCY ALSO LIFT IT FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES
EDIT: YOHOO
Yeah, more of a heart thing than a physical strength thing. Lord help Annebeth if it was physical strength, she was under there for like, what, 3-4 days?
@@yourweirdplant YEAH YOUR ARE RIGHT
Now THIS is Superman! This is how you write a Superman story!
Classic superman 💪🏽😎
God bless y'all God loves y'all ❤
Verse of the day
Mark 8: 34 - 38
One more Time Superman did a good thing for somebody else. 👍🏻
Showing once again what a cool guy Superman is.
Superman, at his best, represents all of the immense potential that we have, as humans, to live life in the most humble and charitable way possible.
So Proud of Leo Valdez, Even Superman helped him Marry Calypso
Lol i was searching for this😂 But just imagine my boy Leo in the DC universe...
@@ARYAJONDHALE are you my soulmate? I thought no one would get this ☺️
I legit scrolled all the way through the comments section to find this comment
I like this story. A truly HEROIC thing to do and for such a heartfelt reason...
*It annoyed Zeus coz he fought no one character has that strength until superman stepped in)*
*Zeus you might be a god superman however is greatly something else not known to you or any one on your level or beyond*
Dumbest thing I’ve read on this video so far. The Gods use Magic. What’s Superman’s only weaknesses? Kryptonite and **Magic.** Superman can simply NEVER be on the same level as the Gods.
He is a Demi-God at best. All Zeus needs to do is strike Superman with lightning and Superman will be instantly weakened. Why do you think Superman has such a difficult time against Shazam and Black Adam?
They are Demi-Gods empowered by the magic of Greek Titans and Gods. A true Greek God would Smite Superman into a pile of ashes within 2 seconds.
Superman is GOAT
Supes held up the skies so that Atlas could attend Calypso's wedding. Poor Calypso, fell in love with men who could never visit her island once they left. Now Leo Valdez knows not to make his lovely wife cry, because Superman is always just a holler away for Atlas to come down raining destruction onto Leo's head
"But deep in my heart I feel love so alive..."
Superman may not necessarily be the strongest being in the multiverse of DC, but in matters of Heart? The man has boundless compassion.
Imagine if they incorporated this scene on live film .. Just wow
You know what that symbol means on super man’s chest? Hope, that’s what keeps us from tearing each other apart. Don’t lose it. It’s why he’s able to share with god. This is actually an insanely amazing scene. Hope allows us to turn the other cheek and share. We don’t need promises or words or anything. Hope requires nothing but returns the infinite.
You always gotta love to see Superman as the kind hearted individual he truly is
I’ve always wondered what held the world up before Altus I guess I’ll never know
I headcanon important pillars compromised in the Titanomarchy
Idk what it is in the real greek myths but from what I have read in the Percy Jackson books (though they arent that accurate so dont take my word for it), their were 4 titans who held up 4 corners of the world before the Titans were overthrown by Gods and Atlas took their place as a punishment. I dont exactly remember their names but I'm pretty sure Iapetus (Bob, as we PJO fans know him) was one of them. I dont remember the others.
