Superman-Red Superman-Blue Totally Revamped, 1998
“Electric Superman-Red/Superman-Blue”
The second incarnation of Superman Red and Superman Blue began in a 1998 story line. While temporarily deprived of the solar energy required to give him powers, Superman had developed electricity-based abilities, which eventually forced him to adopt a blue and white containment suit to prevent the energy dispersing. While retaining most of his abilities, he could now also generate electric attacks rather than his original heat vision. He also gained the ability to turn his powers “off,” though this left him as vulnerable as a normal human. This version of Superman was referred to by some fans as “Electric Blue Superman”.
In the Superman Red/Superman Blue one-shot (February 1998), a trap created by the Cyborg Superman caused Superman to split into two beings who represented different aspects of his personality, though each believed himself to be the original. Superman Blue was the more cerebral entity, preferring to think his way out of situations and actually solve problems with his mind as well as his powers. Superman Red was more rash, but also more decisive, preferring action over taking the time to think. Over time, these two personalities grew more and more polarized and individual, to the point that neither entity wanted to become one Superman again.
