Hank Henshaw
Hank Henshaw
First as Lex Enterprises ( A genius scientist appears from the crew of Excalibur, a LexCorp space shuttle that is about to be destroyed. Hank and the other three members of the ship (including his wife "Terri" Terri) were exposed to abnormal radiation from the sun, causing the ship to crash just as Superman dropped an enemy from Krypton into the sun. The bodies of the two crew members were destroyed by the radiation, but their minds survived, allowing them to reconstruct their bodies through exposure to radiation, ship debris, and terrestrial matter (a nod to the Human Torch and the Thing).
At first, Hank and his wife did not suffer from any disease caused by radiation. Later, they arrived in Metropolis with other crew members, hoping to use the facilities of Lex Enterprise to restore the two mutants. colleague. During a brief battle with Superman, the radiant energy crewman lost control and flew into the sun. At this time, Hank's body had begun to deteriorate rapidly, and his wife had begun to penetrate into another dimension. With the help of Superman, he used the facilities of Lex Enterprises to rescue his wife, but he also died on the spot. The remaining crew member committed suicide using an MRI machine.
However, he did not really die. Although his physical body was dead, he transferred his consciousness into the mainframe of Lex Enterprises. Hank, who was able to control the power of technology, appeared in a mechanical form in front of his wife; Terry gradually lost her mind due to the impact of the spacecraft accident, Hank's death and his strange resurrection, and eventually died. At this time, Hank's electronic consciousness began to affect the earth's communication network. Through NASA's communication equipment, Hank transmitted his consciousness to the "Birth Matrix" that brought the baby Superman to Earth. He used this matrix to build a small exploration spacecraft and left the Earth.
The Death of Superman
Hank spent some time traveling between planets; communicating with various local life forms in various worlds, and learning about the cultures and histories of other planets. As time passed, Hank became paranoid and suspicious, believing that Superman caused the death of himself and his wife, and then kicked himself off the earth. After arriving on a planet controlled by the alien monarch (one of Superman's mortal enemies) Mongul, Hank discovered the existence of the armed satellite "Warworld" and forced Mongul to join him in his plan of revenge against Superman. .
Cyborg Superman
After Superman fought and "died" in Doomsday, Hank could not directly seek revenge on the enemy he recognized in his heart, so he began to attack Superman reputation. For this purpose, Hank calls himself the reborn Superman; using the information he obtained in the "Matrix", Hank is able to use Kryptonian technology components to construct an electronic body with organic parts exactly like Superman. Cyborg destroyed Superman's memorial plaque in front of the Daily Planet building, drove Doomsday out of space, and prevented an assassination attempt on the President of the United States.
Because of his meritorious service in protecting the president, Robot Superman was recognized by the White House as the "real" Superman, and he also gave the president a communication device. When confronted by Lois Lane, Cyborg stated that his memory was "fuzzy" but that he could see a "spaceship on a farm and the name 'Kent,'" This can be inferred that Hank may have discovered Superman's true identity.
When he declared himself Superman, three other people also competed for this identity: John Irons (Steel), a man who called himself Kryptonian. The Last Son of Krypton (Eradicator), and the modern-day Superboy.
Zero Hour
When an alien spacecraft came over Coast City, Robot Superman revealed his true intentions, attacking the Annihilator and beating him to pieces. He was seriously injured, and Mongo also destroyed the entire city, killing millions of people.
Cyborg then convinced the White House and the public, falsely claiming that Annihilus was responsible for the destruction of Beach City, causing the public to begin to hate the Kryptonian. In direct confrontation, he nearly killed Annihilus. After deceiving and defeating Superboy, Hank prepares to launch a warhead into Metropolis to transform it into another Mongolian "Engine City". However, Superboy manages to escape and informs the resurrected real Superman, Colossus, and Supergirl of Cyborg's plans. The four of them arrived at the ruins of Coast City together. Superman, Supergirl, and Colossus fought fiercely with Mongo and Mechanical Super. During this period, Superboy successfully intercepted the missile that was about to destroy Metropolis. After Green Lantern (Green
Hal Jordan "Hal Jordan") defeated Mongo, Cyborg lured Superman and Annihilus to the main reactor of Engine City and attempted to use krypton as the engine's energy source. Stone comes to kill Superman.
Hank attempted to kill Superman with a concentrated blast of kryptonite radiation, but Annihilus sacrificed himself to block the energy cannon. At the same time, the radiation of kryptonite energy mutated as it passed through Annihilus' body, restoring Superman's abilities. Superman then easily defeated Mechanical Superman (partly because the kryptonite weakened the organic parts of Mechanical Superman), vibrating his body into pieces.
Before expelling Doomsday into space, Cyborg Superman implanted a device in his body to monitor whether Doomsday had escaped. After the body of "Cyborg Superman" was destroyed, he transferred his consciousness into the device because Doomsday was the "safest place in the galaxy" to hide. Doomsday was eventually taken aboard a spaceship and escaped, landing on Apokolips. Mechanical Superman reappeared,
Using the armor of Apokolips soldiers to transform a new body, his image turned into red armor and long hair, and then he and Doomsday besieged Apokolips (although Hank There is Superman's Kryptonian DNA in his body, but Doomsday doesn't think he is a threat). The mechanical super successfully captured most of Apokolips, but was destroyed by Uncle Dax's Omega Beam in a melee with Superman and Darkseid.
Not only did Uncle Da's attack fail to kill the mechanical super, but Hank's consciousness was preserved in a small ball due to the Omega effect. Darkseid planned to use the mechanical super to fight Superman in the future. After Uncle Da learned that Hank would leave Apokolips forever, he finally decided to let him go. Cyborg later formed an alliance with an intergalactic tribunal that sought to judge Superman for the sins of his ancestors. Hank helped the court capture Superboy, Supergirl, Colossus and Alpha Centurion (Alpha
Centurion, a Roman superhero) who wanted to help Superman. . However, the Cyborgs betrayed the Tribunal and wished to conquer their planet and turn it into a new "war realm". Superman and reinforcements stopped the plan of the mechanical super, and after the court found that HH participated in the destruction of Coast City, he was found guilty of genocide and sentenced to death. Hank, whose body is electronic consciousness, cannot be killed by conventional methods, so he is taken to the event horizon of a black hole, where even energy cannot escape its gravity.
(This paragraph involves the DC/Marvel time-travel event) The mechanical super was not destroyed, but was transported to the Marvel Universe (at the beginning of the Green Lantern/Silver Surfer "Silver Surfer" linkage story line, The green light at this time is Kyle Rayner. The mechanical super destroyed another planet in order to rebuild the war world, attracting the attention of the Silver Surfer. Their brief fight is interrupted by the arrival of Parallax (possessed by Hal), who has been seeking revenge on the mechanical super because of the destruction of Beach City. In the chaos, Hank successfully escapes and returns to the DC Universe at the end of the story.
The Mechanical Super will later meet Hal Jordan (Parallax Possession) again, on the edge of the Godwave (the cosmic energy generated after the war between gods tens of billions of years ago) (this The edge is made up of a string of statues, and the energy flowing through them is important to maintaining the existence of the Fourth World. 'Note: The Fourth World is the New God. Gods", but for various reasons, this concept never had a complete framework and definition, and this concept was abandoned soon after the emergence of the New Gods'). Parallax used his powers to take the forms of Coast City's victims, who tore the Cyborg's bodies into pieces. Jordan then dispersed his consciousness into the God Wave, and Cyborg was once again nearly wiped out.
During a crisis related to the God Wave, Superman (shown in his "blue energy suit" at the time) visited the Genesis star (New
Genesis) and met Han again. Gram, who has become part of the God Wave, created a small world that holds all his memories. After he was seemingly defeated by Superman, he used this small world to provoke Superman. But what Superman didn't know was that the mechanical Superman had transferred his consciousness into Superman's technological protective suit. After Superman returned to Earth, Hank escaped and built a new body, posing as a substitute high school teacher with the intention of becoming human again (he even convinced Ashbury Armstrong to "Ashbury" Armstrong, some civilian soy sauce", making her believe that she still has good intentions).
Then, after an outburst of rage, Hank's identity was revealed and his body was destroyed by Superman in a brief fight. To prevent discovery, he stored his consciousness in a toy. The toy was later stolen by Toyman (the first generation), and the two villains decided to work together to kill Superman. To achieve this goal, Cyborg designed a machine that could disperse Superman's energy form into small parts and transmit them throughout the galaxy, preventing Superman from being reborn. A glitch in the machine split Superman into Red/Blue Superman, with the former eventually defeating and capturing the mechanical Super.
Hank later tried to rob the city of Kandor, but was defeated by Superman and sent to the Phantom Zone. Not long after, the millennium bug crisis occurred (2000 AD). Hank escaped from the Phantom Zone and attacked Superman, who was poisoned by kryptonite at the time. With the help of Kandor, he was defeated and sent back to the Phantom Zone, vowing revenge. Then, during a later visit to the Phantom Zone, he had disappeared.
Hank finally found a way to reach Biot in sector 3601, the main star of the Manhunters. He brings together many of the people who have died before Green Lantern (including Arisia, Kreon, Ke'Haan, Boodikka, Laira and Chesron) "Chaselon") and use them as energy sources to supply their new mechanical hunter army, the "Highmasters". However, Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner discovered his actions. Jordan and Alyssa concentrated the power of their rings and the energy of a Lord, destroying the organic parts of Hank's body and most of the land of Bio.
The Guardians of the Universe believe that during Hank's time in Sector 3601, he may have discovered one of the Guardians' best-kept secrets: the secrets of the Multiverse. exist.
Sinestro Corps
Hank had been imprisoned on Oa, but he was freed by members of the Sinestro Corps commando team. Also released was Superboy-Prime. He was taken to Qward, where he, along with Superboy-Prime and Kyle Rayner, who was possessed by Parallax and became Parallax, were transformed into emissaries of the Anti-Monitor. .
Hank only joined the Legion for one reason. In exchange for helping the Anti-Monitor, the latter promised to kill him himself.
The mechanical Superman hopes to get a final destination that even Superman cannot give him. [1]?
He and his mechanical hunters traveled to Earth to aid the Yellow Lantern Corps' attack. Along the way, he stopped leading the Mechanical Hunters, but they continued toward the target they had set. As Hank watches them leave, he remembers everything that has happened to him; from the horrific spaceship accident to his wife's suicide after witnessing his mechanical form. He ends his spiritual journey by finding his wife's grave. He exhumed his wife's body and tore it in half, shouting that he didn't want to be with her, but just wanted the memories to go away.
At the same time, mechanical hunters began to attack the Justice League of America (JLA) satellite. Hawkgirl, Black Lightning, and Red Arrow fought back; however, when Hank came to his aid, all three were defeated, and Cyborg successfully invaded the machinery at the satellite's core. After the satellite was taken out of its orbit,
Superman suddenly appeared and fought with Hank. Their battle continues on Earth, and Sinestro is teleporting his ship and crew from the antimatter universe. At first, Superman seemed to have the upper hand, but after a few punches, Hank became furious and punched Superman away, penetrating the Statue of Liberty. In the end, Hank restrained Superman in a lasso, thinking that victory was coming.
Superman is not alone, however. Power Girl (Power Girl) and Supergirl came to the rescue and found a way to defeat the mechanical Superman and threw him to Superboy-Prime. He later commented that the two men almost beat him to death.
When the Green Lantern Corps decided to detonate the New War Realm and the Yellow Lantern Corps' Kovad Central Power Cell to destroy the Counter-Surveillance, HH was trapped in a shield, facing The direct impact of a huge explosion. But before he died, he thanked the Green Lantern Corps for mercifully killing him.
A small part of Hank's body was recovered after the explosion. The mechanical hunter confirmed that he was dead, but he was also leaderless for a while. In order to be "operated" by their master's leader, these mechanical hunters transferred a large amount of energy into the mechanical superman, who was resurrected again. He couldn't help but shed tears after discovering that he was reborn, and shut down all the mechanical hunters and wandered the universe alone. .
Darkest Night
During the Blackest Night, Hank returned to Earth and found that the dead had been resurrected to devour the living, but he was ignored by them. Even the Black Death Emperor could not see this abnormal living being, and even death itself ignored the existence of Hank Henshaw. Hank was devastated and left the Earth until he met the fallen Guardian of the Universe Kalona.
Brightest Day
During the Brightest Day (Brightest
Day), he was discovered and the Supreme Green Lantern (Alpha)
Corps), trying to integrate every Lantern, including Ganthet, into the Supreme Green Lantern. In action, Hank declares himself the commander-in-chief of the Supreme Green Lantern. Hank later explained in detail the reason why he acted with the Supreme Green Lantern: to transform himself so that he could truly die. He began experimenting on the Green Lantern Supreme, trying to reverse engineer their mechanical properties into mortal beings.
Despite the unfortunate deaths of several Green Lantern Supremes, Hank ultimately succeeded in devising a method of reverse engineering. When Hank forced Gunther to operate on himself, the Green Lantern Corps disrupted his plans and destroyed his body. Hank then tried to shift consciousness into Boudicca. During this transfer process, Boudica's willpower defeated Hank's willpower, cutting his soul in half and destroying Hank.
However, even this method still failed to kill Hank. While investigating the wreckage of New Krypton (where Kandor was relocated), Boudicca was suddenly attacked by Doomsday. However, when Supergirl and Batman took Boudica to the Justice League Watchtower, Doomsday immediately caught up and explained the intention of the attack-Hank was still alive (existing as a nanobot in Boudica body, and then transformed into a complete physical body again).
After occupying the watchtower, Hank's desire for death was overshadowed by the appearance of Doomsday. He vowed to deal with this monster once and for all, even if Supergirl and Batman were involved. With an extremely powerful blow, he penetrated the Doomsday and destroyed its body. However, Doomsday actually repaired itself, and to the horror of Cyborg, it turned into "Cyborg" (Cyborg
Doomsday). Then it captured the watchtower, defeated Hank, and turned him into a "Cyborg". Kidnapped with Super Girl who arrived.
Cyborg Superman and Supergirl, along with the remaining "Supermen" (Colossus, Superboy and Annihilus), were imprisoned in a spaceship in space. Superman helped them escape from the spacecraft, and Doomsday's army also came to attack. Cyborg tells Superman that several Doomsdays are coming to capture them. Superman was fed up with Cyborg's rhetoric, and after beating him a few times, he tore out Cyborg's metal heart and shut down his body. After banishing Doomslayer (an enhanced clone of Doomslayer), Doomsday, and his clones to another dimension, Cyborg was imprisoned in S.T.A.R. Labs ).
