Previous Post Thank you for taking the time to read and answer your questions Mr Busiek.. Just had some more to address to you! Do you see Lex Luthor as still being THE villian/foil to Superman, just as Dr Doom is to the FF4, and Magneto to the X-Men? Or do you feel that other. more powerful/dangerous beings like Darkseid/Brainiac fit the bill? In your understanding of how Supes operates.. IF a situation happened to Lois, as in Kingdom Come, where she was killed off for good.. Would you portray Supes as leaving the Earth, going in seclusion, or else would he still stay "in the game", and continue to be a superhero? IF Superman was for some strange reason, currently part of the Marvel Universe, how would you tend to see him acting in that situation? Would you tend to see him essentially acting/fulfilling the role you had Thor for in the Advengers? Finally... IF kal-L does make a return back to the living in the Future... Would you find it easier/harder to have both Supermen running around at the same time on the same Earth? Thanks!

As with Doom and Magneto, I think Lex is #1 villain. Plenty of room for others, though.

Depends on the story.

No, Superman and Thor aren't that similar. But I'm not going to figure out how he'd fit into the Marvel Universe -- I've got real stories to work on, instead.

> Finally... IF kal-L does make a return back to the living in the Future... Would you find it easier/harder to have both Supermen running around at the same time on the same Earth?

This is another imaginary scenario. If it should become real, I'll deal with it, but I don't see a need to figure it out ahead of time.
