The Absolute DC Universe is the creation of Darkseid energy. For all the good that will come out of it, there is inherent destruction in its existence. You must create a world to balance the scales until Earth-1 can properly re-enter the multiverse.

Flying high, spinning webs!
Once, there was Nothing. And that Nothing groaned and stretched until it unleashed its power. A cataclysmic infinitude.
The Multiverse.
Infinite possibilities. Reflections of reflections of worlds upon worlds.
But now the scales have been tipped to destruction.
Darkseid, the New God of Tyranny, and Lord of Apokolips, has taken advantage of a void. Maddening schemes have separated Earth-1 from the multiverse, the home of the greatest heroes in existence.
Now Darkseid has used his power to create a new lynchpin in the multiverse. One where those same heroes will be tempted and pushed into his waiting embrace. This 'Absolute' universe could become an army that will drag Creation itself down into the depths of insanity and madness.
This cannot stand.
The Wonder Woman, she who tied the long-forgotten Truth of reality back into the minds of those who needed it, has given YOU a task.
Balance the scales against Darkseid as best as you can. Earth-1 shall return to its rightful place. She has foreseen it, but it may take too long and allow Darkseid's schemes to reach a critical point where another Crisis will occur.
YOU, Monitor, must ensure this new universe stands as a beacon of light against the Great Darkness. A lighthouse for Truth and Justice to fly towards.
... It would be far easier if you were not so newly formed. You may have the wisdom of your kind, but you are wary, unsure. The constantly repeating cycles of Crises instigated by Perpetua have left fissures and rifts in existence. Darkseid's gambit has not helped the matter.
YOU will start with the Beginning of it all, The Symbol of Hope and the First to be a Superhero. Superman.
You see it now, the rocket that would carry the Hero to Earth from Krypton. Infinite Timelines exist in the Past, Present, and Future. You wipe away the least stable and consider how to push the craft forward. The origin point will suffice for the beginning. Krypton.
The steadiest of options appears before you. Both the physical traits of the world:
[ ] Atompunk aesthetic, as Earth would call it (Pre-War Fallout)
[ ] Crystalline, as a particular world, has made iconic (Richard Donner)
[ ] Approaching the Fourth World (Jack Kirby)
[ ] Alien but Human (The Animated Series and Pre-Crisis)
[ ] Oddly fantastical (Magitech and fantasy elements)
[ ] A combination of two of these five might be stable as well (Write in, Pick 2)
And the social:
[ ] Isolationist (Classic)
[ ] Imperial (MAWS, Viltrumite, Saiyan)
[ ] Pax Kryptonia (Galaxy-spanning culture where all species are "Kryptonian")
[ ] Pious (Religious and magical)
[ ] Stagnated (The end is coming, and they do not resist)
[ ] A combination of two of these five might be stable as well (Write in, Pick 2)
As you push for Krypton's place in this universe, you return your vision to the rocket. The likely Last Survivor of Krypton. Its temporal fissures must also be stabilized. Who is within it?
[ ] An infant boy
[ ] An infant girl
[ ] A family of three
[ ] An entire community of Kryptonians
[ ] A man grown
[ ] A woman grown
Now that the Survivor has been stabilized, where shall the escape craft land?
[ ] The rural Heartland of America (Smallville)
[ ] A large metropolitan city (Metropolis. Note will greatly influence the timeline)
[ ] Earth's time under the direct rulership of Gods (Pre-Fall of Atlantis)
[ ] The age of chivalry (Camelot)
[ ] An authoritarian regime (Pick either Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany)
[ ] A silent tundra (Antarctica. Even solo survivors are an option, but best advised for a group)

Going for a classic but diverse Supe where being Kryptonian is more then a species as a means adding greater challenges to what makes Superman Superman
Good luck with the quest hope it turns out well

I like the idea of a Superman who comes from the most villainous origins possible and yet still is the blue boy scout beacon of hope that we know him as, plus I love the thought process Krypton would have with the culture vote.
"Everyone is Kryptonian, therefore it is our right to rule them"

I like the look of this one, though I'm wondering if it might help the themes of that even more to have the last survivors be a family of three. Still, I'm not sure, so I'm going with this. The Imperial/Pax Kryptonia combo is my favorite part.

Both of these are extremely good options that I want to pick. One feels like Invincible but with Kryptonians, which I love since it highlights Clark's humanity, but the other option is also so goddamn interesting!
I'm sorry, it's just got me too curious to see how this option affects Kal-El's personality and how he would grow to become a symbol of hope if he doesn't have the same human values Ma and Pa Kent instilled within him. Plus, I think with my vote things will reach a tie, so that's fun.
Since I intend to pick one of the two options above, these write-ins are just for fun and experimentation. Is that alright, @Xero Key?

I mean assuming this would mean that Kryptonians are less super powerful given that at least a community of them is about. This does give some more stuff to the initial inspirations of Superman which I am in favor of.

This one I like because it just seems to Pulp comic and just seems fun.
