Superman is one of the most famous and recognizable heroes in all of the superhero world, and while we've gotten a few in Mcfarlane's DC line so far, the number definitely isn't as high as Batman who has so far dominated the line. Mcfarlane has promised though that we will be getting plenty of Superman figures next year though, starting with the Red Son Superman who was on my first list talking about what Superman figures I want made. With Mcfarlane basically telling us to expect several versions after Red Son, I've been thinking about what Superman figures I want made and while my first list hasn't been fulfilled too much I'm still going to write a second list with another set of Superman figures I'd like to see! There's so many awesome versions of the boy in blue from the history of DC comics, and these are another five Superman designs I'd like figures of!

5. The Darkseid War: God of Steel
The Darkseid War storyline was an epic conclusion to the New 52 Justice League run and featured several new looks for all the heroes, one of the coolest ones being Superman! Being rejuvenated in the pits of Apokalips not only gave him a really cool new look with an almost negative contrast to his colors, but a new attitude as well. It was a neat short arc for the character, and with Mcfarlane's focus on modern comics this seems like an obvious choice!

4. Flashpoint
Probably what would be the most unique Superman figure in terms of design and physicality, the Flashpoint Superman was picked up by the government after landing on earth and subsequently was raised in a facility without the chance to really thrive like he did in the main universe. Superman ended up an emancipated, skinny shell of his usual self in one of the saddest causalities of Flashpoint's reality warping. Flashpoint has already been touched upon by the upcoming Batman figure, so the door is open for more characters from it like Superman.

3. Superboy Prime
One of the most tragic versions of Superman in my opinion, the innocent and young Superboy from the Prime earth in the multiverse ended up one of the few survivors of the decimation of the multiverse in Crisis on Infinite Earths. He eventually returned in Infinite Crisis, spiraling into evil and madness in an attempt to bring his planet back. I've always really loved this version of Superman, and his Anti Monitor armor look absolutely prime for an action figure.

2. Ultraman
I've been on a high lately of reading Crime Syndicate stories and I would completely love to get the entire Crime Syndicate in plastic form from Mcfarlane. My focus here though is Ultraman as an alternate version of Superman, though I'm very undecided about what version I'd like them to do. JLA Earth 2 gave us a very fun version of the character, the original version with the huge collar would be fun to see in an updated figure, and the immensely serious and scary New 52 version is high up on my wishlist too!

1. Kingdom Come
Not only is Kingdom Come one of DC's best stories they've ever published in my opinion, but the Kingdom Come version of Superman is one of my absolute favorites and his entire arc from retiring, to returning to the superhero life, to trying to manage everything going on was so intriguing to read and made for one of the best interpretations of Kal El ever written. Mattel produced a figure for this version; however, I don't think it entirely best resembled the comic design aside from the chest shield and an older looking headsculpt. I think Mcfarlane could really capture the characters older physicality and nail the older headsculpt more spot on, and hopefully it would be just the start of a whole line of Kingdom Come based figures.
