History of Cyborg Superman

[@francisharkins]

I definitely like the more recent versions of Hank Henshaw Cyborg Superman and his newer origin story. That he was hopeful Superman would save him and his wife, as he always saves the day. Only to be let down and feel abandoned by the man of steel. It makes a bit more sense than the man of steel helping him and then him randomly going mad because his wife rejected him and blaming Superman despite Superman fulfilling his request to save his wife.

[@MajinReptile.UltraMajin]

Why is Cyborg Superman one of the greatest things ever? Because he's a Reed Richards who becomes a Terminator Superman!

[@paulocuento9949]

i love the fantastic 4 reference... particularly when the guy cooked himself in the MRI machine like a rock put into microwave oven

[@zealcross9880]

And on top of that he is a villain, a cool one

Pretty sure Superman took Hank Henshaw out of the Phantom Zone at the end of Tomasi's run. He felt that the Phantom Zone was cruel, and imprisoned Cyborg Superman in the Fortress of Solitude, with Hank's mind in a virtual reality where he can be with his wife.

[@BrotherShaw]

Henshaw is my favorite comic book villain, as you might guess from my name. So it means a lot to finally see him on your channel. Thanks. My only other request is Circe at this point.

Same here. Cyborg Superman would make a worthy addition to DCEU!

[@dcmarvelcomicfans9458]

They can't they failed to do the death Supermen properly and after they did it sort of they didn't do reign of the Supermans storyline after that they just have Justice League but I guess if I do decide it again after you put it after Flashpoint then it is possible

I mean, he is, isn't he? He appeared in Supergirl and wasn't killed off, he just hasn't appeared in a while.

[@JoeEnglandShow]

I always wondered about his behavior towards Doomsday when he threw him into space. His inner monologue seemed genuinely indignant, referring to other heroes on a first name basis.

[@SouthpawSatch]

I’d love to see DC do something creative with Cyborg Superman where he becomes an antihero or something rather than a one note villain that they use every so often for the occasional storyline. Cyborg Supes is an interesting but underrated character. Also what is the music in the background?

[@LordSleepy99]

Question, why don’t they make Hank look exactly like Superman? I understand that they explain that away saying the robotic parts of him are the result of his fight with Doomsday, but I would’ve just made Hank look exactly like Superman without the robotic parts being revealed. I can see Superman coming back to life to fight the imposter Superman, and during the fight the imposter Superman’s skin slowly falls off after numerous punches from the real Superman, revealing that the imposter is an actual cyborg, cyborg Superman. I literally can see that in a movie.

[@dcmarvelcomicfans9458]

They already did that already watch the original Death of Superman from 2007 animated there you go

[@LordSleepy99]

[@tomstreet2859]

I think the way did that in the comics was to deepen the mystery...if he looked exactly like Supes we'd all think he was the man of steel right away. But as the Cyborg we all had to pick him or the Visor version. Steel and SuperBoy were never real contenders.

I remember when the Henshaw Superman was involved in a Superman Fantastic Four crossover, and got involved with Galactus. Given his so-similar origins, I thought it was wild seeing him beside the FF...

[@NeoTheatre]

Didn't Superman _technically_ not die in the comics? He just went into some super sleep (ie coma)? It's been a while since I've read The Return of Superman.

[@dcmarvelcomicfans9458]

That logic is Bullshit he definitely died they just retcon it same with Captain America after he died during post Civil War but came back because retcon his healing Factor saved him Bullshit it's just comic book logic and also kind of a plot convenience

[@anthonyrobles4127]

Yes, Superman was actually in a healing coma. His pulse was apparently so faint that human medical technology couldn't detect it.

[@vmorales225]

Arris you missed the recent story with Henshaw in the final vol of Green Lanterns rebirth

[@jonathanbionicle36]

That was a really great story. For those who didn't read it, Henshaw (while imprisoned) in the fortress of solitude used his Techno-telepathy to reach out across space to the planet Mogo (home base of the Green Lanterns at the time) and hack the central power battery (all while his powers were dampened). At the same time, recruited an army made up of a race of aliens known as the ravagers who hate the Green Lanterns and their super-powered champion Eon. His attack on the Green Lanterns started by disrupting their communications, causing the weather on Mogo to go crazy, fooling many of the Core members to believe there was a traitor among them, tricking Simon Baz into freeing him, and finally claiming the Phantom Lantern Ring (uber powerful Lantern ring prototype with near limitless power). The only reason the Greens won in the end was a mix of Hal Jordan wielding a ring forged of his own will (and just being Hal Jordan) and some of the other Lanterns having enough time/will/luck to break free, regroup, and win. Just know I only spelled out the story for the others in the chat. I imagine you already read it vmorales225.

I love comic book culture from DC / Marvel or anywhere. Heroes and Villians. But sadly for me I never had access to comic books themselves because I live outside the USA. All my geeky superhero knowledge comes from live action or animated movies (love the DC ones), or from videogames. The reason Im saying this is because thanks to this channel I can catch up to all the amazing stories I have been missing out on all these years, thanks to this guy Ive learned about all the Lantern Corps colors, the Dark Metal universe and the history of some of my favorite characters. So if you've read this so far I just wanted to say thank you.

[@rdyramos]

I Remember reading his reveal on Reign Of The Supermen #78 as a kid. To me he was the real Superman, torn apart by Doomsday but brough back to life as a Kryptonian Cyborg. A modern day Frankenstein monster trying to save the people that fear him. I think this was a big missed opportunity by the writers, he just ended up being a regular mustache twirling villain.

If Lex Luthor had created Cyborg Superman with the motherbox in BVS instead of wasting the Death Of Superman with Doomsday, you'd have your perfect Cyborg set up for Justice League as well as the Motherbox. And maybe Barry can be a CSI working with Lois Lane and he becomes the Flash in the Flash movie, replacing the Suicide Squad film. And they can change Aquaman's origin making him the son of Poseidon, nephew of Zeus and therefor the cousin of Wonder Woman. And Wonder Woman is an old friend of Bruce. There Snyder, I organically "rushed" the universe better than you did.

[@licentiousdreams]

Yeah but what about the mustache? We need an origin story and how it got the power to rearrange Superman's face? The power it must possess to mess up the man of steels face like that, I need to know if it's magic, science or just the rare power of shitty re-shoots.
