Alternate portrayal of popular DC Comics characters like Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (as Green Light), Lois Lane (as Lois Luthor), Lex Luthor, Brainiac, Bizarro, Parasite, Metallo and Doomsday are also attributed to the story. The reality of Red Son is marked as set on Earth-30 which is part of DC’s multiple Earths and also belongs to the reality of The New 52.
