Cyborg Superman (Hank Henshaw) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by writer-artist Dan Jurgens, the character appears as both a primary enemy of Superman and an adversary of the Green Lantern Corps. Hank Henshaw was originally an astronaut whose tragic exposure to radiation deteriorates his body and transformed him into a energy being and kills his wife, a fellow crew member. A former fan of Superman, he irrationally blames him for the incident and sought to defame him, creating a robotic body derived from Kryptonian technology and genetic material of Superman. Over time, the character evolved into an enemy of the Green Lantern Corps, primarily due to leading the Manhunters.
Cyborg Superman has been adapted in several forms of media since his publication. He first appeared in the 2015 series Supergirl, portrayed by David Harewood. He also appears in My Adventures with Superman, voiced by Max Mittelman.
