Plus comment down below with what scares you the most about Superman.
Now while you ponder that, lets jump into todays list of the Top 10 Scariest Alternate
Versions Of Superman
#10 Ultraman
Ultraman is essentially the evil twin of Superman and hails from the parallel universe called
Earth 3.
As a member of the Crime Syndicate his mission is to absolutely terrify everyone on his home
planet.
He first appeared in Justice League of American number 29 back in 1964 and reaps all of the
same benefits of Supermans powers without the strong distaste for kryptonite.
In fact he actually gains strength from exposure to Kryptonite and acquires new powers with
each exposure making him one scary alternate version of Superman.
#9 The Dark Side
The origin story of this Dark Side version of Superman really helps you understand just
why he is feared so much.
Instead of the classic landing on Earth story, this Superman landed on the hell-like planet
of Apokolips.
While there he was raised by the god of evil himself, Darkseid.
Darkside made the last son of Krypton his enforcer stripping him of all and any heroic
traits along the way.
As his enforcer he was equipped with this scary looking armor that enables his powers
further.
#8 Overman
Of all the alternate versions of Superman on this list, Overman has to be one of the
darkest.
He made his first appearance in Animal Man number 23 back in 1990 where the psycho actually
released characters from out of continuity.
He was created as a government experiment and after contracting an STD he went so crazy
that he killed everyone in his world via a doomsday bomb.
Come 2015 that story was changed around just a bit with his storyline in Mastermen.
It showed a world where Adolf Hitler had taken Overman under his wing to help the Nazis achieve
victory.
#7 Herr Superman
If that last alternate superman wasnt German enough for you, I present Herr Superman.
Except it has nothing to do with World War 2, just a German guy who is also Superman.
Although hes not one of the most evil Supermen around, hes still a really bad dude.
Hailing from Earth 8 Herr Superman is one of the Monarchs transdimensional recruits.
While alive he used his powers to bring about sheer destruction until Havok impaled him
while his powers were drained.
#6 Thought Robot
No Germans in this origin story just a race of cosmic vampires who created the thought
robot.
These creatures relied on stories of other cultures to help them survive, the first of
which was the original Superman.
So it was only fitting that when the cosmic vampires created a gigantic doomsday machine
they created it to look like the last son of Krypton.
Not only is it a doomsday machine, not only is it a set of armor made to look like Superman,
but it also contains the ultimate power in the multiverse.
Yeah this scary alternate version of Superman exists in four dimensions which means that
hes stronger that the multiverse itself.
We cant even comprehend what exactly that means.
#5 Cyborg
1992 was a dark time, it marked the death of superman arc and following his death four
men stepped forward claiming they were Superman reborn.
One of which looked just like Superman except he was composed of Kryptonian robotic parts
and as such became known as Cyborg Superman.
Except he was entirely cybernetic parts, he was actually once a human astronaut known
as Hank Henshaw.
When Hank was exposed to a solar flare in space it transformed him into pure consciousness
although being separated from your meat vehicle for that long would drive anyone insane.
Hank used his brilliant mind to utilize Supermans birthing matrix and created this clone of
Superman to inhabit.
When he returned he was only back to ruin the reputation that Superman had built on
Earth and even tried to destroy Metropolis with a nuclear bomb.
#4 Superdoom
If this alternate version of Superman needs a referral to just how terrifying he is youll
have to look no further than a quote by Lex Luthor from Earth 23.
Where he said and I quote - Youre the raw essence, the beast in Superman!
The smug fascist bully boy I saw in there all along!- Superdoom was actually created
in a different reality and then sold to the evil corporation Overcorp.
This version of Superman was so incredibly dark and brutal that it took over the world.
After it was done with that it then took off to seek out and kill other alternate versions
of Superman.Why?
Well Superdoom was so commercially popular that the need to increase this meant eliminating
the competition.
#3 Bizarro
There has been many many versions of these Bizarro Superman so for the sake of it, lets
just merge them all into one singular point.
You can argue with me in the comments down below.
Bizarro is the opposite of Superman, hes gone through many character changes in the past
from a supervillain to antihero and back and forth like that several times.
Besides all that though, his appearance is downright terrifying.
He looks like a zombified Hulk in a Superman outfit.
He isnt the sharpest tool in the shed and is often used as more of a pawn then an evil
mastermind, but he has had his fair share of destruction.
#2 Superboy-Prime
This terrifying alternate version of Superman comes to us from the Earth-Prime Universe.
In this universe there was no superheroes, yet when Halleys comet blazed above it released
the kryptonian powers in Clark Kent.
Not too long after becoming Superboy his home universe was destroyed and as you can imagine
he wasnt too happy about that.
Superboy then went on an unprecedented rampage through the main DC Universe.
He even went after and eliminated various members of the Teen Titans, Doom Patrol, the
Justice Society of America and the Green Lantern Corps.
His obsession with revenge wont stop until he is by far the DC Universes most bloodthirsty
supervillain.
#1 Injustice
Yes the Superman from the video game Injustice Gods Among Us is by far the most hair-raising,
spine-chilling and just downright frightening superman thats ever existed.
To get a better idea of just how scary this Superman is, youll have to look no further
than how he delt with the Joker.
Usually Batman just locks up the Joker for his psychotic outbursts, but when he blew
up Metropolis, Supes said NOT IN MY HOUSE.
He then proceeded to punch his arms through the Jokers chest ending the clowning around
for good.
Yeah that moral code of his has been thrown out the window, he then goes on to become
the tyrannical leader of a world government.
And that has been the Top 10 Scariest Alternate Versions Of Superman.
