Looks like I've got some measure of interest. If you'd like, feel free to send pitches my way. So far I have an interesting Booster Gold pitch which I'm imagining fits the following theme: "You know what else is faster than a speeding bullet? Booster Gold, that's who! You wanna replace Superman? I've got some shock and awe for you, right here. Bad guys won't even know what hit 'em!"*
*See Supernova.
Along the lines of The Reign of the Supermen not happening (yet), I could see a sort of patriotic idealist like Henshaw was pretending to be, someone just trying to do the right thing like Steel, and an heir of Krypton like the Eradicator also in the mix. That would make an interesting team of four. Of course, we need not confine ourselves solely to those tropes. This is just as much as how the rest of the DCU copes with the loss of Superman, not just Metropolis and the Superman mythos. How does Gotham fare, when the whole world knows heroes are just as mortal as the next guy? Does the GCPD try to coax Batman into retirement for fear of another dead hero?
Do the Guardians of the Universe find themselves in a lot more trouble and with need for more Green Lanterns? ETC

Alrighty... I guess I'll just send in what I made and let you yell at me I've said this a thousand times. The problem is not raw power, its relative power. Its not a problem that Superman has 23 Strength (which is roughly his appropriate number for the Byrne era) if Wonder Woman has 22 and GL has enough Telekinesis to emulate 20. Its a problem if Superman has a 23 Strength and Wonder Woman has a 12, because obviously WW is much closer to Superman than that 8) If you're going "off book" in MURPG, you almost have to make character building a collaborative effort, so that it feels like a cohesive universe.

Yesterday got away from me. Near-death experience on the motorcycle as another dick-punch on the list of dick-punches this month. Oi.
I've got some ideas in the works...
A Ted Kord to partner with WK's Booster. We've done it before in a game of DK's.
A Robin to partner with a WK Batman.
Batman pushed over the edge-- bringing out the PA to sub in
A Doctor Fate... Because I do so love me some Doctor Fate.
A penitent Zod. Because why not?
A Lex Luthor gone antihero.

Dionon's got a neat Starfire in the mix, which I could see as the doe-eyed, boundless hope aspect that I'm really digging, especially a la Melissa Benoist in the-show-that-will-not-be-named (or watched - I hope she does well, right actress, wrong role).

Definitely interested, Possible in Green Lantern, The Flash or ...well, there's just so many options.
**EDIT** I really want to try a Power Armored Lex Luthor. With Super Man out of the way this is his chance to finally reach the top of the mountain and gain the worlds love and affection. It's probably going to be a pretty expensive write up.
