The superman mystery.Closely related to I have to think about the shape of a moon crater before the b/w photos make sense and don`t look like blowup dome things rather than craters
Grew up with DC comics from very young, learned to read at 3, read whole words as patterns. learned to write whole words as items to get round letter blindness. That chest emblem was a red and yellow rune in some alien script.
My best mate Glen read superman and batman comics too. I was 8 or 9 when I casually made the mistake of saying I couldn`t work out what that thing was " it`s an S you dinkle" suddenly I saw it for the first time. DOH!

Except it's not an S...anymoreIt once was a simple S but it's ben revisioned since then.
Starting with Superman: The Movie in which it represents the House of El. The real family name of Superman being Kal-El, his father being Jor-El, etc.
It's also been reimagined as something that his adoptive father, Jonathon Kent, designed after seeing an ancient american native rune :)

It's still an "S".All the convoluted backstories and retcons in the world, won't change that.

Moon CratersA top tip when faced with dome-like moon craters just turn the picture upside down and the outies will become innies as the shadows align with the unconscious expectations of your visual cortex. Don't try it with pictures of boobs though, no-one wants to look at inverted boobies.
