“And we loved it, we were all having a great time, but then he saw my sister and I, and he just got this - this look in his eyes, and then-”

She hesitated, worrying the coarse material between her fingers. “Things got pretty bad after that,” she muttered. “I know it’s silly, but I try to keep - her - comfortable. We don’t know if she can still hear us, or see us, or if she’s even still in here, but I like to think she is. I talk to her when I can, I leave music on when I’m out of the house. I tried to convince my parents to bring her with us when we went to Disneyland, but they didn’t - didn’t really take that well.”

I am working on de-marveling these guys so they exist in their own universe now. Thats why the designs look a little funny. There is a certain change I made to the lore present here- Izzy is a trans guy. I’m particularly fond of this choice as it gives Gray more reason to view Izzy as his “second chance to save Holly”— and makes it all the worse when the two are ripped apart.

Stratt: "hmm what do you think dr grace?"

Grace: wow what a crazy plan that would take an absurd amount of power to accomplish and have far-reaching impacts "yeah it's feasible, i'd go with it"

Stratt: "alright, you heard him, do it"

My "wing vibe" is defined in two categories, not pictured in the line chart:

Category 1, Clear Wings (25 instances): two separate wing shapes coming out from each shoulder OR multiple wings surrounding Kal

OR

Category 2, Unclear Wings (3 instances): Fluffy/feathery in texture with a vaguely winglike shape, or cape-shaped, but wrapping around people like wings, such as:

78.5% of all Absolute Superman Wing Instances (WIs) in both categories are definitely Kal's influence; i.e. Sol is either dead, powered down, or we're in Kal's head.

If Sol's silence in Issue #10 means he is not fully present (Kal asked him to shut up around this time; he does not speak at all in this issue and Kal's emotions are so high they seem to have "overridden" Sol's influence over the cape) the percentage of WIs rise to 89.3%.

100% of Category 1 (Clear Wings) instances are Kal's, if we consider Sol as "overridden" when Kal tells him to shut up. If we believe Sol had any influence over his shape in Issue #10, 10.7% of WIs are Sol's.

Verdict: Kal-El likes looking like a little dragon bird thingy.

Alternative hypothesis: As the story goes on, the team was just like "yo Kal having wings looks sick as fuck" and that happened to coincide with Sol's death

When asked to pick one, My Adventures with Superman said "yes."
