Summary
When it comes to powerful characters in comic books, it’s pretty hard to name anyone stronger thanSuperman. Clark Kent’s powers already put him near god-level, and it turns out the one thing he needs to push him over the edge to a true god is fusing with fellow Justice League memberCyborg.
The bizarre and terrifyinglypowerful fusion of Supermanand Cyborg debuts in the story “Catfish Crisis” by Stuart Moore and Cully Hamner fromDCCybernetic Summer#1. After Superman and Cyborg are attacked at the beach by Cyborg Superman, their fight is interrupted bythe sudden appearance of Super Cyborg Cyborg Superman. It’s a shock for everyone involved.
This appearance is so surprising and distressing that Superman is able to bring Cyborg Superman down while he’s distracted. It’s then revealed that Super Cyborg Cyborg Superman is none other than Batman in disguise. This strange costume is a bizarre outfit he came up with to distract Cyborg Superman long enough to be beaten, but the real twist is when Henry Victor Kentshaw Clarkstone reveals himself to be real.

The shocking twist of the story is that Clarkstone, whose full name is Henry Victor Kentshaw Clarkstone, is completely real. Not only is he real, buthe’s hanging out with the Anti-Monitor and HarbingerfromCrisis on Infinite Earthsby Marv Wolfman and George Pérez. The group seems to be playing poker with entire planets as their chips. While this is written off as a joke, it’s honestly no surprise that Clarkstone would be keeping such company. ACyborg Superman like Clarkstonewould be utterly unbeatable. Separate, these three characters are each capable of destroying planets, but together they’d become a universal-level threat.
Everyone knows what the Man of Steel is capable of, but he’d become so much stronger with the combined might of Hank Henshaw and Victor Stone.
There’s not much point in going overSuperman’s powers.Everyone knows what the Man of Steel is capable of, but he’d become so much stronger with the combined might of Hank Henshaw and Victor Stone. Victor alone is a technopath, capable of controlling any technology he wants with ease. He has regularly hacked the United States Military without any problems, and he’s capable of opening Boom Tubes on command thanks to his Mother Box. Hank Henshaw has all the powers of Superman and more, including the ability to corrupt and take over any technology he comes across.
Superman, Cyborg, and Cyborg Superman Merge Into 1 God-Tier Character
This Trio Makes For An Incredibly Deadly Combination
Cyborg Superman once nearly took over Apokolips, with Darkseid helpless to stop him without Superman’s help. Cyborg has regularly shown how powerful he is by disabling or turning any system on Earth into his own plaything, and Superman is one of the most physically powerful beings in the Multiverse. Any one of these characters could be a major threat, but when all three are fused together, the new being becomes a crisis-level problem. Thankfully, it seems thatSupermanandCyborgwill never have to deal with Clarkstone, as he’s too busy playing poker for the fate of entire worlds.
