History Fanfic / TheLastSon

In case you haven't figured it out yet, this fic is MASSIVE. It contains over 1,506,103 words and the author has recently begun [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8462837/1/The-Last-Son-Book-Four-Destinies part]] ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8462837/1/The-Last-Son-Book-Four-Destinies 4]]''. The long read is worth it for the various [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Crowning Moments of Awesome]], though early books are criticised for the overpowered Superman and [[TheScrappy the love interest]]. Now it has a [[http://thelastson.wikia.com/wiki/The_Last_Son_Wiki wiki]]

* [[ABoyandHisX A Boy and His X]]: Krypto in his debut in book 2's title dropped chapter "A Boy and his Dog".

* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Superman stops Wanda [[spoiler: from killing Magneto]] by invoking this.

* ContinuityNod: In the one-shot "A Day at the Mall with Superman", [[spoiler: Jen Masterson [[HeartwarmingMoments properly thanks Superman for saving her]] from General Zod]].

** Also Lex Luthor of all people, who was friends with Superman, Green Arrow, Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg in Smallville, and serves as sort of an analogue to the Justice League of America's mascot/collective sidekick Snapper Carr. [[spoiler: Sadly that might be coming to an end.]]

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: The Sword of El is a CoolSword from Krypton's ancient past, and is sharp enough to cut a yellow-sun powered ''Kryptonian''.

* DecompositeCharacter: [[spoiler: In the comics, the current Black Canary is the daughter of the Golden Age one. Here she's the ''grand''daughter of the previous one.]]

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Aquaman is the cousin of Namor and Namorita. There's also [[spoiler: Black Canary, Siryn, and Banshee who are all half-siblings.]]

* BigBadEnsemble: [[spoiler:Irene's prophecy revealed that the "Darkness" is not one individual, but ''four''. These are "The Warlord" (Apocalypse), "The Tyrant" (Darkseid), "The Machine" (Brainiac) and "The Beast" (who is unknown so far, but may be Trigon given his daughter Raven's existence in this universe).]]

* KangarooCourt: Occurs when Ronan the Accuser abducted the X-Men for their "crimes" for harboring Superman, up to and including deliberately not informing the X-Men of their rights as the accused, like their right to have the trial on Earth, which Superman calsl him out on (admittedly, this is partially to try and lure Superman into a trap). The trope is called out by Cyclops:

** 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" to their own people.

* RidingTheBomb

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: It's said that even the [[{{Satan}} Devil]] himself is wary of Darkseid.]]

* KryptoniteIsEverywhere: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. It seems that most of the Kryptonite that fell in Kansas with Superman's arrival was destroyed, but several of the villains still managed to get their hands in a fair amount of it to cause trouble. [[spoiler: S.H.I.E.L.D. confiscated enough of it to load a nuclear missile with it, which they planned to use to kill Zod (as well as Superman) during the climax of Book Three.]]
* KryptoniteProofSuit: In Book One, Superman creates a space suit composed of nanomachines to go on outerspace missions. Starting on Book Two, he repurposes it so it can protect him from Kryptonite radiation.

* RoswellThatEndsWell: J'onn J'onzz is responsible for the Roswell incident after his spaceship was shot down by the Chitauri when he attempts to [[TakingYouWithMe shoot down every Chitauri ship]] from landing on Earth.

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Superman and his girlfriend goes through one when his girlfriend leaves after finding out about her origins. They Get Better.]] Batman almost has one of these when he finds [[spoiler: Arcade's murdered parents]] and he begins flashing back to his own parents' death. Wonder Woman snaps him out of it, though.
