  • Superman: Birthright
rdfs:comment
  • Originally, this series was meant to be a non-canon version of Superman, showcasing his origin and updating him for the 21st century. Soon after, it was decided to make the series canon, and thus it replaced John Byrne's The Man of Steel series as Superman's canonical origin story. This editorial position lasted until the 2005–2006 Infinite Crisis crossover event, and the release of the new origin story; Superman: Secret Origin in 2009.
  • Superman: Birthright is a 2004 12-part maxi-series of comics which retells Superman's origin, and retcons many elements of his backstory as presented in modern-age continuity; especially the miniseries Man of Steel.
