The answer to the betrayal suffered by the Justice League within the Watchtower is closer than we think
A villain born of hate
The story of Hank Henshaw, better known as Cyborg Superman, is tragic and twisted. First introduced in The Adventures of Superman #500 (1993) as part of the “First Sighting – The Man of Tomorrow” story arc, Henshaw was a LexCorp astronaut. During a space mission, he and his team were exposed to dangerous cosmic radiation, which led to the death of his physical body. However, his consciousness managed to survive, merging with LexCorp’s technology, transforming him into a completely cybernetic and deranged being.
This traumatic event of his team’s death and the belief that Superman is responsible for everything that happened, pushed Henshaw into a spiral of madness. From there, he built himself a cybernetic body with Superman-level powers and called himself Cyborg Superman. His obsession with revenge against the Man of Steel has led him to become one of the most dangerous villains in the DC Universe, and his return promises to devastate the new Justice League.
