One of the most, if not the most heartbreaking thing I can think of throughout the different Death of Superman stories out there is that 90% of them are being broadcasted through television nationwide.
Which means the Kents are watching their son get bludgeoned to death by a monster, and they can't do anything to stop it.
Imagine watching your child get beaten to death and being able to do nothing but watch.
It is the Kents watching this miracle that fell into their lives get violently ripped away from them.
It is the agony of watching their child grow steadily weaker, of hearing him scream out in pain (they've never heard him scream due to physical agony like this before, they are frozen, the instinct that drives a parent to protect their child rendered useless by the situation), of seeing him covered in his own blood when they've never seen him bleed and knowing they can't do a thing.
It is seeing his body and knowing they have no real way of retrieving him, of giving him a proper burial, knowing people more powerful than them could steal his body and desecrate it, with them being able to do nothing about it.
I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade but I feel MAWS’ final villain is going to end up being Doomsday (with an show original backstory), and we all know what Doomsday does.
(It would Also be a nice parallel to S2 E8 name being “The Death of Clark Kent”)
if MAWS Clark dies I would cry a river.
