-Clark Kemunto would be a blogger to supplement his journalist salary. Selling adspace on IG stories and suspiciously exclusive scoops on Superman's latest exploits...
-You'd rarely see Spiderman because he'd keep getting arrested for taking pics in CBD as Peter Mbugua. https://twitter.com/_GracieThomas/status/1301486606810075138
-Lois Laini would have to be in on that Superman scam btw. A 2 journalist income household?! With a super dog and Super kids???
She'd be in "danger" every 5 minutes so she'd be "rescued" by Superman.
Those selfies would come with a breakdown of products used for that day
-The Batcave would be based in Muthaiga. This way he can shikana na Thika Highway to just go beat the kids in Githu. By day, Bruce Wainaina would be in akina JFKs Boys Club but by night, is an asshole to poor people. So basically a politician/industrialist?
-Thor and Wonderwoman would have all the churches calling them demons because well, they are gods and that doesn't fly here so...
- The Hulk would need to live somewhere chill like Coast or Upcountry because Nairobi would keep pissing him off and he'd go into rampage mode
-Deadpool would be that funny anti-hero Odi who'd keep getting killed by the cops. And coming back. And killed again. and coming back. They'd be at their wits ends trying to angamiza him
-Storm would thrive in ushago as the resident weather witch. Maybe even Minister of Agriculture? She'd be on top of those rains like nobody else could. We'd always have food.
-Wakanda would hate us as neighbors. All of East Africa really. They'd be the diplomats at the EAC begging for order and sense.
They'd be super powerful. Everybody wants to have kids with them so you can get citizenship somehow
- Lex Lukoye is probably the president. He'd be voted in because a biLIOnaiRE wON't sTeAL fROm uS.
Running things with limited opposition really. Superman is mostly busy trying to provide for his family remember?
Son of Krypton is still too good a dude to do anything more than
... small small shortcuts here and there to get by.
- The Joker broke out of CLMC. Again. He's a small time crook here though. There is literally too much chaos for him to stand out.
- Harleen Wangui a.k.a. Harley Kui-in is his former doc...
... but they already broke up. Again, also a small time crook and now, socialite. She makes money off of her wild partying and influencing for clubs. Everybody wants to party with her even if there is always a small chance she'd stab you
(I'm having fun)
ORIGIN STORIES
The Wainainas.
A wealthy post-colonial family that made its fortunes by being pals with THAT family, made its home in Muthaiga, at the Wainaina Manor...
Thomas and Martha had only one son, Bruce. He spent his days reading, playing and being watched over by Freddie, their wise old house manager.
One day after a movie about Zoro at 20th Century CBD, the little family drove back home.
Carjackings and muggings had started to be a thing you see. With the recent wealth inequalities being created via corruption.
Thomas didn't drive much but that day was a special treat for himself and his family. He wasn't used to watching whether he was being followed.
They pulled up to their gate. Bruce was dozing off in the back, dreaming of adventures in a black costume. Martha got out first so she could carry him into their house.
3 thugs were on them in seconds! Martha screamed. Thomas quickly got out and tried to fight them off. Bruce woke up frightened and confused with all the commotion. Just as he looked out at the scene outside, the thugs panicked ans shot Thomas first
Martha screamed even louder, dogs in the neighborhood were starting to bark. The spaces between the homes were too large for anyone to get out in time. The thugs panicked even worse, grabbed at Martha's necklace then shot her too. The child saw everything.
Their car screeched away chaotically. By the time Freddie and the rest found little Bruce kneeling and sobbing over his parents bodies, it was too late...
