History FanFic / TheLastSon

''The Last Son'' by The Writer With No Name began as a Crossover Fic of Franchise/{{Superman}}[[note]]Composite of various sources, including ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' and the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse.[[/note]] and ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution''. It quickly expanded to include various [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Marvel]] characters like Comicbook/TheAvengers and later expanded again to include various [[Franchise/TheDCU DC]] characters like the [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League]]. Characters that possess multiple continuities are given AdaptationDistillation while others have their backstories altered to integrate the two universes together.

* ABoyAndHisX: Krypto in his debut in book 2's title dropped chapter "A Boy and his Dog".

* AGodAmI: Doctor Doom, [[spoiler: Darkseid]], Apocalypse, Selene, and [[spoiler: General Zod]] fancy themselves as gods.
* AGodIAmNot: By contrast, Superman makes it clear from day one that he doesn't want to be worshipped or deified by anyone.

* AProtagonistShallLeadThem: According to TheProphecy of Irene Adler, Superman will have a profound and destined role that will change Earth forever. Magneto and Doctor Doom misinterpret the prophecy with the belief that Superman was meant to lead mutantkind and rule over humankind. This becomes an important overarching plot point throughout the series.

* TheFederation: The Galactic Confederacy represented by Councillor [[ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}} Winema Wazzo]].

It contains over 1,506,103 words and the author has recently begun [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8462837/1/The-Last-Son-Book-Four-Destinies part]] ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8462837/1/The-Last-Son-Book-Four-Destinies 4]]''. The long read is worth it for the various awesome moments, though early books are criticised for the overpowered Superman and the love interest. Now it has a [[https://thelastson.fandom.com/wiki/The_Last_Son_Wiki wiki]]

* WouldHurtAChild: The Friends of Humanity are willing to go to any lengths to rid Earth of mutants, no matter that many of them are a bunch of underage kids.

* ThouShaltNotKill: This became problematic when Superman first dealt with vampires and ultimately allowed Deacon Frost to die under daylight, becoming the first living being to be (indirectly) killed by the Man of Steel. It goes from there that Superman is forced to dangerously dance around his no-kill policy that Sebastian Shaw mockingly points this out to him:

* ThreatBackfire: Doom threatens to release Superman's SecretIdentity to the world if he does not submit to him. Superman rapidly points out that, if he (who believes himself the smartest person in the world) did that, he would be admitting to having lost against "a Kansas country farmboy," hitting him right in his {{Pride}}.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Many villains keep trying to steal Kryptonian tech, something that possibly could have been avoided had Superman, instead of hiding behind a Kryptonian law, simply explained that his people's technology runs on a power source that doesn't exist on Earth, making it useless to them.

--> '''Wonder Woman''': Tell me, Anthony Stark, how old are you?
--> '''Iron Man''': Oh, going on thirty, but, hey, what's a few years, here and there?
--> '''Wonder Woman''': Indeed. I, Stark, am one thousand, five hundred twenty-three years old, this August.
--> '''Iron Man''': ''(his smile dropped)'' ''Damn!''
--> '''Wonder Woman''': Mm-hm. What's more, Stark, is that, though it is all but unheard of in my homeland, pedophilia is still considered morally ''reprehensible'' among Amazons. ''(eyes narrowed)'' So any suggestions that we indulge in such activities would be highly offensive.
--> '''Iron Man''': ''([[LoudGulp gulping and slamming his suit's visor back down]])'' [[LameExcuse Oh, wouldn't you know it – my schedule's full, this year]].
--> '''Wonder Woman''': As I thought.

* AdaptationalDyeJob: Julie Power is described having green eyes, rather than hazel like in the comics.

* AProtagonistShallLeadThem: Superman, it is according to TheProphecy of Irene Adler that Superman will have a profound and destined role that will change Earth forever. Magneto and Doctor Doom misinterpret the prophecy with the belief that Superman was meant to lead mutantkind and rule over humankind. This becomes an important overarching plot point throughout the series.

* AProtagonistShallLeadThem: Superman (see TheProphecy).

* LateArrivalSpoiler: The moment General Zod is freed, he is already the BiggerBad of Book Three if anyone haven't read the very first chapter of Book One.

* BiggerBad: [[spoiler:General Zod]] in Book Three.

** The Daxamites, as usual. They refused to join the Galactic Confederacy. Though a few Daximites expressed interest in joining the galactic community, as a result they were regarded as "traitors" by their own people.

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3228742/1/The-Last-Son-Book-One-Gatherings Part 1]] is the story of Superman beginning a new life at the Xavier Institute while covertly preventing disasters. Most of the story is Superman's effects on the X-Men and the plot loosely follows ''X-Men: Evolution''. The BigBad of this part is Magneto and he attempts to force Superman to lead the mutants to victory over normal humans.

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3310696/1/The-Last-Son-Book-Two-Reckonings Part 2]] expands the character roster considerably and sets up the formation of the Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}}. It also introduces Superman's {{Love Interest|s}} ('''NOT''' Lois Lane). The plot diverges considerably from ''X-Men: Evolution'' at the climax of this part. The primary villain here is Doctor Doom but other villains have an impact as well.

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4009890/1/The-Last-Son-Book-Three-Changes Part 3]] begins with the world adjusting to the existence of mutants, Superman, and his independent Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}}. Even more characters are brought in here and various factions attempt to bring down Superman. At this point the plot only vaguely resembles ''X-Men: Evolution'', with the basic events still happening but going OffTheRails in creative ways. Three-quarters through this part the story begins the invasion arc where Shi'ar, Kree, and Skrulls invade Earth simultaneously in a race to seize the Kryptonian technology Superman possesses.

** However, Krypto, Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}, [[spoiler: Alison Blaire]] (who is half-Kryptonian), and numerous criminals from the Phantom Zone mitigated this status.
** Also, J'onn is not alone anymore as he found out his wife and daughter are still alive on Mars. Unfortunately, J'onn's wife soon dies from natural causes. Only his daughter is his last kin and becomes Miss Martian.

** Teth-Adam, obsessed with regaining the believes it's rightfully his, wants to kill Shazam's current champion, regardless of the fact that he happens to be the pre-teen Billy Batson.

* HiddenDepths: He denies it, but beneath his malevolent and imperious demeanor, Darkseid is deeply haunted by the death of his first wife, [[TheLostLenore Suli]]. He tries to tell himself that her death was a NecessaryEvil to ensure his rise to power, but it's pretty clear (to Highfather, at least) that if he had to choose between universal domination or Suli being alive, he'd pick the latter without hesitation.

** [[spoiler:Then there's Excalibur, and the sword has the added benefit of being the only weapon yet known able to bypass Apocalypse's HealingFactor]].

* CoolSword: The Sword of El. The sword is [[AbsurdlySharpBlade sharp]] enough to wound even a yellow-sun-powered ''Kryptonian''.

** In the latest chapter, he manages to win over [[spoiler: Emma Frost of all people, after it was revealed that they had met before in their teenage years, but Selene manipulated her father into intercepting Clark's mail just to spite him.]]

* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:General Zod]] and Apocalypse.

** [[spoiler: Apocalypse tries to do this to a group of his followers that failed him]].

* TorchesAndPitchforks: The Fantastic Four and Alison Blaire encountered a angry Laterivan mob after they failed to [[spoiler: ally with Doctor Doom in the prelude to the alien invasion]]. Fortunately it is [[ShamingTheMob peacefully averted]] by [[spoiler: Siryn]].

* DeathByOriginStory: Amongst the usual figures like [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Thomas and Martha Wayne]] and [[SpiderMan Uncle Ben]], Superman gets stuck with this too: Jonathan 'Pa' Kent.
