Director Bones opens up his classified records to give us all new stories about the players in INFINITE FRONTIER. First up, President Superman from Earth 23, asking the question: can the hero who has time for everyone ever find time for himself?

Make Time follows alternate Superman, on this earth wearing the nane Calvin Ellis [Kal(vin) El(lis)] clever. He is not only Superman but the President of the United States.
"Superman doesn't need to always save the day – but he will"
As president he advocates against himself, wanting to make sure that humsns remain capable and ready to defend themselves if anything happens to him. In a Samaritan fashion we follow him throughout his day as he juggles superhero activity and presidential ones, and manages short moments with family, and at the end of his day we reveal his time he's been saving up is a time where he can relax. Almost four minutes
There are subtle differences throughout, like his parents being scientifists instead of farmers, him being Black, the Ellis family praying to Rao, not creating 'World War IV', Moon-3 being mentioned as why he's late to a press conference, the house of el logo slightly different. It all done very casually and I really, really like it.
Generally, ai really, really like it. Clark in general is growing on me but I like exploring his story in a different facet and continuity. I hope we get more of his story.
___ So this character debuted unnamed in 2009 as an homage to Barack Obama. Cool that's he's been in canon for twelve years, but I would love a focused story on him
I always love a good Calvin Ellis story and this one is exceptional. You need to read this. It’s really great and doesn’t get bogged down in the complexities of Clark Kent and his baggage. The art is gorgeous and the story progression is clear and logical. The panels are clean and emotive. This is really making me excited for the main summer event.
Es muy interesante conocer a Calvin Ellis, un personaje bastante importante de la historia de DC Cómics y del multiverso. Siendo líder de la Justice Incarnate, conocer su vida tanto de superhéroe como de Presidente en la Tierra 23, es vital.
