In the end, the #Cleric urges #Superman not to exile himself as he once did - he made the best choice he could to save lives, and must now champion life over death. He gives Superman the #Eradicator so #Krypton can live on, then passes away as a grateful Superman leaves him a final monument.

After seeing during an early adventure that #Superman is hurt by the idea of being an alien, when #Batman finds out the truth from #Cadmus he makes a deliberate decision to spare Superman's feelings.

After some space misadventures, #Superman is captured by #Mongul and forced into gladiator combat. There he meets the #Cleric, who through the #Eradicator shows his guilt - long ago he visited #Krypton and convinced thousands of #Kryptonians to leave their world, never knowing it would kill them.

#Superman is in a unique position. The guilt he feels won't go away. As the most powerful being on #Earth, if he loses control of his own mind he becomes a danger to the very people he swore to protect. And so, he must leave. #ClarkKent loses another home. "Goodbye, Earth."

A brutal impostor #Gangbuster is on the loose - but #Superman can’t catch him because it’s himself. Wracked with guilt over executing the Kryptonian killers, #ClarkKent suffered a mental breakdown. The #Guardian offers help, but Superman sees only one sad solution.

Before losing his powers, #Superman chose #ArVal of Kandor as his successor. But Ar-Val’s arrogance made him unworthy -until #ClarkKent nearly died saving him. Humbled, Ar-Val realizes he’s the wrong man for the job and makes a brave choice...

I've always really liked this scene from #Ultimate #SpiderMan - the original ultimate, that is! #GwenStacy recently died and a fight about it - that #MaryJane started - gets everyone put in detention, where #PeterParker has a monologue about #FlashThompson that is part bitterness, part nasty truth.

When #SpiderMan sees #Grizzly just wants his self-respect back, he throws the fight out of pity. #RobbieRobertson returns to prison but free of his fear of #Tombstone, after standing up to him. Later Grizzly realizes #Spidey held back - but also that only his own opinion of himself matters.

In #WhatIf V1 #7, others gain Spider-powers instead of #PeterParker: #FlashThompson dies, #BettyBrant quits, #JohnJameson sacrifices himself. In the end, it proves Peter was always the right one for the job of #SpiderMan - despite his self-esteem issues, the Marvel Universe is lucky to have him.

#MattMurdock #Daredevil makes it clear to #RachelCole that loss of loved ones is not necessary to have a real drive to help others. He then convinces her to turn over the #Omegadrive, pointing out she cannot access it and that that the pain of losing her husband isn't worth her life.
