What if the Superman series was rebooted with Jon-Erik Hexum?


Let's say in an alternate reality, in which Jon-Erik Hexum lived, Christopher Reeve was absolutely done with the role once and for all, and the Superman series was able to continue much sooner, how he would've put his own spin on the role.

Looks wise, Hexum actually reminds me a great deal of Henry Cavill. And Hexum also had that smooth baritone speaking voice. Of course, Christopher Reeve would've been a tough act to follow no matter who was going to play Superman.

But I recently came across this comment:

The people who knew him when he was young must have been shocked to see him turn into a beefy male model, a real life evolution from Clark Kent to Superman.

He looks so geeky in every photo for the first three minutes of the video at R31 that he's unrecognizable

Billy Campbell would have been a good substitute for Reeve.
