About Cyborg Superman[]
Henry “Hank” Henshaw, along with his wife, Terri and 2 others, were crew members aboard a space shuttle known as “Excalibur”, which was bombarded by cosmic rays from an unusual solar flare, which resulted in the crash of the shuttle. The radiation, rather than killing the crew, turned them into monsters, which came into contact with Superman. Ultimately, Henshaw’s body withered away, though his consciousness lived on. He discovered that he could inhabit technology using his consciousness. Distraught, Terri committed suicide, widowing Henshaw, and further cementing his seething hatred of Superman. When Superman died at the hands of Doomsday, prior to the former’s revival, Henshaw seized the opportunity to take his revenge. He built a new body in the likeness of Superman and became Cyborg Superman, who has threatened humanity on numerous occasions.
Biography[]
Originally a member of the doomed Excalibur shuttle mission, Hank Henshaw returned under the guise of Cyborg Superman following the death of Superman at the hands of Doomsday. His villainous acts are many, including the destruction of Coast City.
Role in Injustice[]

Powers and Abilities[]
- See: here. In addition to possessing Superman's powers, he can also control all machinery he comes into contact with.
Appearance[]
The Cyborg Superman wears a red and black variant of Superman's classic costume, with the entire right side of his chest and right arm exposed as a mechanical prosthesis. His entire jaw and the upper left portion of his face are also mechanical, with what little of Superman's actual face that is visible being identical (except Cyborg Superman has brown eyes instead of blue eyes like Superman), down to the spit-curl in his hair.
Trivia[]
- Cyborg Superman came as a free skin for the Zatanna compatibility pack.
- While still voiced by George Newbern, his voice is filtered to sound mechanical.
- Cyborg Superman uses a unique mix of the standard Superman costume quotes and Regime Superman costume quotes.
- Cyborg Superman is the only skin for Superman to have the Regime Superman outro but not the Regime Superman intro.
- Cyborg Superman wears several Qwardian Rings on his right hand, a reference to when he was one of the Heralds of Fear for Sinestro's Corps.
