DC Comics Confirms One Of Our Absolute Superman #1 Spoilers

We also reported "The S shield is not the House Of El in Absolute Superman. It is the caste symbol of the lowest of the low. The labourers, the workers, the people of steel. So no wonder that their son, the Absolute Superman, is keen for the same not to occur on Earth. Meanwhile, the Lazarus Corporation makes a practical workers' class of its own."
