The Deadliest Superman Is Trying To Kill Every Clark Kent In The Multiverse

Ultraman is one of the most powerful villains in the DC Universe. The Superman of Earth-3 is basically the worst-case scenario version of Superman, as he has a much darker origin than his Prime-Earth heroic counterpart. In his backstory, his father manages to save him from Krypton’s destruction after killing those who are also trying to escape. Ultraman crash-lands in Kansas but murders his adopted parents and eventually becomes the leader of the Crime Syndicate — the evil version of the Justice League. The villain group goes on to take on the Justice League and have shown up as foes for DC’s mightiest heroes on numerous occasions.

Jon Kent’s Superman has a very personal history with Ultraman, as he is responsible for taking years off the hero’s life. After a young Jon Kent ended up on Earth-3, he was imprisoned by Ultraman, as the villain trapped him inside a volcano for years. However, when Kent broke free and returned to his timeline, he discovered he had only been gone for weeks but had been rapidly aged through the ordeal from a child to a near-adult. In “Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent” #1, Jon alludes to being taken, sharing his frustration regarding how Ultraman stole his childhood away, robbing him of years that he should have had with his parents.
