Naomi McDuffie (Earth-29)

"What is the question, Naomi? The question is... Who am I?"

- Dee and Naomi McDuffie

Naomi McDuffie is a student in Port Oswego and a blogger of the Superman Website. After a Superman-related stunt occurred in Port Oswego, Naomi became determined to investigate the story behind it and began passing out randomly.

Early Life
Naomi was born to a pair of unnamed parents, who were killed in a car crash far away from Port Oswego on the east coast. On March 14, 2004, Naomi was adopted by Greg and Jennifer McDuffie, who took care of her for 16 years and lived a peaceful life in Port Oswego.

Growing up in a small town, Naomi befriended Annabelle, Nathan, Anthony, Jacob and Lourdes. Naomi grew up obsessed with the DC Comics hero, Superman, and started a website that rose to become the number three fan site of the world. At some point, she was in a relationship with Nathan before breaking up with him after five dates.

In 2021, Naomi attended Nathan's party and greeted her friends except Anthony, who was given the wrong address to Nathan's house. Naomi returned to her house by midnight and woke up the next morning to her parents before skateboarding to school.

Best Stunt Ever
In 2020, Naomi attended the debate team meeting and was called by Annabelle about a Superman-related stunt happening in Town Square. While skateboarding to Main Street, she began hearing buzzing and felt disoriented, passing out on the ground before seeing Superman's blur flying over Port Oswego. When she woke up, she discovered the stunt was already over and interviewed the bystanders, who claimed that Superman fought a "blue guy" before knocking him out. Despite her persistence, Naomi was unable to hear any news from Lourdes and both were frustrated over their confusion.

For the entire day, Naomi was determined to investigate the backgrounds of the stunt and discovered that cameras across the street were all damaged. She then asked for Nathan's assistance in recreating a clear footage of the stunt. Naomi was then suspicious over Dee's presence, as he appeared to know "Superman". Naomi soon went to Dee's tattoo shop and asked him about the stunt. However, her suspicion grew stronger when Dee knew the exact date of her adoption. Dee dismissed her and told her that he was the one who orchestrated the whole stunt.

Although the background of the stunt was revealed, Naomi was still confused over the buzzing noises and continued to attend the debate. Greg and Jennifer also presented a new car as a gift to Naomi, before letting her drive to the venue. During the debate, Naomi initially performed well before passing out once more. The doctors at the venue claimed that she had a panic attack, but she discovered that it had something to do with her powers, as she was able to see a small note clearly from a great distance when she took off her glasses.

Afterwards, Naomi followed the location on the note and went to the Red River Forest. She uncovered a disc on the ground and was approached by Zumbado, who demanded to take the disc. The leaves next to Naomi began floating as she created a small breeze, eventually knocking herself on the ground with a strong force. The Disc was then taken by Zumbado while Naomi went to Annabelle's house to investigate the incident.

Crew Mission
Naomi and Annabelle soon realized that they needed to investigate more about Zumbado, and gathered the crew to Zumbado's shop. Lourdes was able to open the front door and they searched for suspicious objects. Naomi found a newspaper from March 14, 2004, with the headline saying that an unidentified flying object crashed in Port Oswego with Dee in the photo, seemingly looking exactly the same as his present appearance.

Who Am I?
Later that night, Naomi went to Dee's once more and asked more questions. Dee claimed that he cannot give her the right answers unless she asks the right questions. He then revealed his identity as a Thanagarian and opened his metallic wings. Shocked and confused, Naomi asked who he was. Dee continued to ask her to ask the right question, with Naomi asking him, "who am I?"
