friend sometimes called world without
Superman and the reign of the Superman
one of the biggest story arcs in comic
book history the death of Superman made
headlines around the world after all it
really isn’t every day that a company
kills off their mascot and it be true
Superman will die November 18th at the
hands of villain named doomsday it all
started typically enough while Superman
was investigating a problem underground
a strange massive figure was crossing
the country causing destruction the
Justice League – Superman of course
fought the creature but they were no
match for his strength with Blue Beetle
taking the brunt of the punishment when
Superman finally joined them he was
caught off guard by Doomsday’s speed and
strength after tearing through the JLA
and more Superman did finally managed to
briefly incapacitate doomsday so that he
could help rescue those the monster and
victimized but doomsday quickly escaped

battle but the monster kept getting the
better of him everywhere he went
doomsday caused massive chaos and
senseless destruction when the battle
finally reached Metropolis it caused an
explosion which leveled an entire

Superman’s allies tried to help him but
this was clearly a battle that only the
Man of Steel could hope to win before
taking on doomsday one on one Superman
kissed Lois goodbye in case anything
happened to him during the battle
Superman and doomsday fought
unceasingly and with a force and power
never seen before in the end Superman
triumphed and defeated the monster but
at the cost of his own life

good that’s that’s all
manners Superman’s death had
repercussions felt through the DC
Universe the entire world witnessed an
outpouring of grief and intense morning
of course there were some namely the
criminals of Metropolis who celebrated
this unexpected turn of events and
without their superhero the citizens of
Metropolis found themselves falling prey
to emboldened crooks and gangsters
Supergirl and Batman were on hand to
help but they weren’t enough to replace
Superman Superman’s body was laid to
rest inside a huge monument created by
Lex Luthor who at this time had long
luscious hair and was thought to be
reformed although spoiler alert he was
still in fact the same evil genius he
had always been the secret of project
Cadmus stole the body with the help of
cloning it but the body was eventually
recovered and returned to the tomb
throughout all of this Lois Lane and MA
and pas Kent trying to deal with the
overpowering sense of loss they all felt
it’s so affected pot Kent that he had a
heart attack and nearly died while the
doctors were working to save him
paw experienced something a
hallucination or a vision in which he
saw Superman and brought him back with
him to the land of the living when paw
Kent recovered Superman had not in fact
returned but four new beings had
appeared each of whom seemed to be a
possible reincarnation of Superman one
of them called Man of Steel was
definitely not
he was John Henry irons an iron worker
and brilliant weapons designer who
donned a suit of Steel to fight
criminals and help those in need the
other three all laid claim to the name
of Superman one of them was a much
younger version a brash and impulsive
teenager who rapidly and incessantly
rebelled against being referred to as
Superboy
rather than Superman another called
himself the last Son of Krypton he had
many of Superman’s powers and memories
although he wore a visor because the
Rays of the Sun hurt his eyes
unfortunately he also seemed to lack
Superman’s compassion often killing
criminals rather than simply stopping
them the last was a cyborg the
mechanical portions of which were formed
from Kryptonian technology for months
the four replacement supermen worked to
fill the void that the original had left
before long readers learned that the
young Superboy was a clone that Cadmus
had created but which lacked some of
Superman’s abilities due to the
difficulty of manipulating Kryptonian
DNA the visoreds Superman was in fact a
recreated version of Superman’s former
enemy the Eradicator who lost his evil
ways and became more and more virtuous
and humane the longer he stayed as quote
Superman the cyborg superman turned out
to be hank henshaw a former NASA
astronaut who had become a sentient
machine and who nursed a grudge against
Superman it also turned out that Henshaw
had teamed up with another Superman
enemy Mongol with the goal of destroying
earth obviously by pretending that he
was Superman as he brought about the
world’s destruction Henshaw hoped to
darken the heroes memory through the
universe for all time fortunately the
real Superman did return in time to put
a stop to this plot yes Superman had
indeed been dead but the Eradicator had
stolen his body and placed it in a
regeneration matrix at the fortress of
solitude through a combination of
Kryptonian technology Superman’s
superpowers and sheer luck the big blue
schoolboy was brought back to life
albeit temporarily lacking his powers
but with an awesome black suit and
wildly 90s style hair nonetheless
Superman’s skill and experience enabled
him to work with Supergirl Superboy the
Eradicator and steel to defeat Henshaw
and save the earth once more elements
from the depth of Superman have already
appeared on screen many times and it’s
no surprise why you know metropolis is
doing just fine without you I’m not sure
I approve of your methods this has
become known as a turning point in the
history of comics and it completely
rejuvenated the character for a more
modern audience for better or for worse
I think he’s corny yeah do you agree
