The Cyborg Superman is back to menace Supergirl and friends.
Here’s what you should know about him.
This article contains majorSupergirlSeason 2 spoilers up through The Darkest Place.
Well, The Darkest Place was certainly an eventful episode, wasnt it?
One of the several holy moley!
moments came during Karas battle with a cybernetically enhanced, and supremely angry, original Hank Henshaw.
So, why wouldSupergirlgo through all the trouble of making sure Hank Henshaw identifies himself as Cyborg Superman?
Well, because thats a catchy code name that once made comic book history.
Once upon a time, Hank Henshaw was a throwaway character in a throwaway Superman comic.
Actually, I shouldnt dismiss it like that.
Cmon, Hank Henshaw/Reed Richards, you get the idea.
So, this is whats cool about this.
Nobody, and I meannobody, ever expected to see this character again in any form.

Fast forward to 1993.
That seems pretty drastic, right?
Just like the version in the Zack Snyder movies!
Needless to say, the Cyborg Superman wasnt really the Man of Steel.
In fact,noneof the fourReign of the Red Herringswere, but thats fine.
DC wasnt screwing around in the early 90s.
Dont worry, the real Supes came back and kicked his ass.
They may have just solved it with this one.
