Character Bio - Hank Henshaw was once an amazing astronaut who was the leader of a team of explorers in space. When that team was tragically mutated by an accident in space, they each gained super powers, but were also maimed, crippled and killed by the mutations. Superman attempted to save them but failed, and Hank watched in horror as his beloved wife and fellow astronauts started to fade away into nothing. So Hank utilized some equipment at LexCorp to save her before he dies and somehow manages to transfer his own consciousness into the computers at LexCorps. Hank later attempts to make contact with his wife by creating for himself a mechanical body, but the sight drives her mad and she kills herself. Hank then attaches his mind to the birthing matrix that brought Superman to earth when he was a child, and leaves Earth to explore the cosmos. At some point, he returns fueled by rage as he now believes that Superman was responsible for his mutation and his wife's death, only to find that Superman is dead from his fight with Doomsday. Utilizing the DNA from the birthing matrix that he stole, he engineered a new body that resembled Superman and even shared his DNA, then presented HIMSELF as Superman Reborn.

-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-

• Kryptonian figures have a number of specific counters to look out for: beware memories of their homeworld, as a Glyph of Green Kryptonite, a Kryptonite Blast Special Attack from Lex Luthor, or other Kryptonians, who ignore Kryptonian DNA. Current Kryptonians include: Cyborg Superman, Doomsday, Eradicator, General Zod, Kryptonian Soldier, Kryptonian Infiltrator, Non, Superboy (Kal-El), Superboy (Kon-El), Supergirl, Superman, Superman (II), and Ursa. (Note that Cyborg Superman is also effective against many of your opponents' Kryptonian figures.)
