Cyborg Superman

Cyborg Superman

Hank Henshaw, exposed to cosmic radiation during a rocket test, decayed into an electronic ghost. He used Superman’s birthing matrix to create a body from Kryptonian science and Superman’s genetics. Seeking revenge, he allied with Mongul, destroyed Coast City after Superman’s death, and became a recurring villain to Superman and Hal Jordan, aiming to ruin Superman’s life and end his own immortality.
