5 Strongest Versions Of Superman (In The Comics)

UPDATED SEP 10, 2022
Superman has gone through a lot of iterations and changes over the years, from the character’s powers and origins. But which version is the strongest?
Kingdom Come Superman and Ultraman split image
The Man of Steel has more than earned the moniker. While many elements of Superman have changed over time, a few core details have always remained consistent: his strength, his passion, and his ability to instill hope in those who need it the most.

Sometimes writers like to push the boundaries of a character and go in a completely different direction. The multiverse is full of variations on the Kryptonian, but some of them hold far more strength than others — physical strength, strength in terms of power, and of course the inner strength that Superman always manages to find within himself.

Updated on April 23, 2022 by Scoot Allan: DC’s multiverse continues to grow with exciting new alternate realities. Series like DCeased explored a superhero zombie outbreak whileJustice League Incarnate introduced a new multiversal team of heroes led by Superman from Earth-23. He’s just one of many powerful versions of Superman in the comics who’ve appeared over the years to challenge the original for his title as DC’s strongest hero.

Cyborg Superman (Hank Henshaw)
The Adventures of Superman #500. Written by Jerry Ordway. Penciler: Tom Grummett. Inker: Doug Hazlewood. Colorist: Glenn Whitmore. Letterer: Albert DeGuzman. Editors: Jennifer Frank, and Mike Carlin.
Cyborg Superman from Reign of the Supermen
After the Death of Superman event, four new characters appeared to fill the void left by the Man of Steel. One of those replacements was a man who claimed to be the original Superman, only rebuilt with Kryptonian technology. He became known as Cyborg Superman before his true origins, and evil plot were eventually revealed.
Cyborg Superman was actually Hank Henshaw, a scientist whose crew was devastated by cosmic radiation. His body died from the exposure, but he gained the ability to psionically control and manipulate machinery, giving him a new life in a powerful Kryptonian body when he possessed Superman’s birthing matrix/rocket.

Electric Superman
Superman (Vol. 2) #123. Written by Dan Jurgens. Penciler: Ron Frenz. Inker: Joe Rubinstein. Colorists: Glenn Whitmore, and Digital Chameleon. Letterer: John Costanza. Editors: Joe Cavalieri, and Mike McAvennie.
Superman in his electric energy form
Superman underwent a huge power shift in the ’90s, resulting in new energy-based abilities that caused his body to disincorporate. He used a new containment suit which helped him regulate his abilities, although turning back into his civilian identity caused him to completely lose his powers.
While he didn’t have super-strength anymore, Superman was able to use his new powers to manipulate energy fields and lift heavy objects along with other powerful new abilities. His energy form had many advantages, but he was eventually split into competing selves known as Superman Red and Superman Blue before he returned to his normal body.
13
Injustice Superman
Injustice: Gods Among Us #1. Writer: Tom Taylor. Pencilers: Axel Giménez, Mike S. Miller, and Jheremy Raapack. Diana Egea, Mike S. Miller, and Jheremy Raapack. Colorist: Andrew Elder. Letterer: Wes Abbott. Editors: Jim Chadwick, and Sarah Litt.
Superman from Injustice
Earth-22 is more commonly known to fans as the Injustice Earth, thanks to the popular video game series and its successful comic book spin-offs. After Joker pushed Superman past his breaking point and tricked him into killing Lois Lane and his unborn child, Superman kills The Joker — marking the first time Superman went too far.

Superman sets up a fascist society where he believes his own version of peace through corrupt rule is far safer than the chaos Earth-22 faced before. He exhibits great personal and physical strength in his mission to preserve his new Empire. No longer holding back, this Superman was completely terrifying.
12
Ultraman
Justice League of America #29. Created by Gardner Fox, and Mike Sekowsky.
Ultraman with the Crime Syndicate
There’s a vast array of evil alternate versions of Superman from the multiverse. Earth-3 is home to an evil version of the Justice League known as the Crime Society, headed up by the Superman equivalent, Ultraman.
The character may be similar in design and even portray an identical power set as the original Man of Steel, but this life of crime means he doesn’t have to hold back in terms of his strength. Kryptonite actually fuels Ultraman, a factor making him even more of an unbeatable foe.
11
The Red Son
Superman: The Red Son (2003). Writer: Mark Millar Pencillers: Dave Johnson, Andrew Robinson, Walden Wong, and Killian Plunkett. Letterer: Ken Lopez Colorist: Paul Mounts. Editors: Anton Kawasaki, Mike McAvennie, Maureen McTigue, and Tom Palmer Jr.
Cover to Superman: Red Son
Some superheroes are more interesting as villains. Superman is the absolute role model for what a superhero should be. Corrupting that idea gives some incredibly compelling results, such as the Superman of Earth-30, from Mark Millar and Dave Johnson’s Superman: Red Son.
Having landed in Soviet Russia rather than the United States, this reality’s Superman is a supporter of the Communist regime and a great warrior to have on the side of any government. With this version of the Man of Steel brought up on complete lies, his severe training has given him far greater strength, alongside his sense of duty.

Brutaal
Earth 2, Vol.1 #14 (2013) Writer: James Robinson. Penciler: Nicola Scott Inker: Trevor Scott Colorist: Pete Pantazis. Letterer: Dezi Sienty. Editors: Anthony Marques, Mike Cotton, and Eddie Berganza.
An evil clone of Superman named Brutaal
After the death of Superman in the New 52’s rebooted continuity of Earth-2, Darkseid and the armies of Apokolips launched a new attack on the planet. The heroes of Earth-2 were quickly defeated by what appeared to be a returned Superman, more brutal and powerful than the hero who died during Darkseid’s first attack.

Earth-2’s Wonders soon learned the Apokoliptian Superman was really a clone created by Darkseid known as Brutaal. While this dark Superman was capable of taking on Earth’s mightiest, he was ultimately defeated by Val-Zod, Earth-2’s new Superman.

Bizarro
Superboy #68 (1958). Created by writer Otto Binder, and artist George Papp.
Bizarro Superman from DC Comics
Despite being a frequent enemy of the Man of Steel, Bizarro is actually one of Superman’s most likable villains. Created with very little intelligence and often manipulated, Bizarro is sometimes portrayed as simply wanting a quiet life.
The sympathetic reverse version of Superman has a number of powers the Man of Steel could never replicate like Freeze-Vision and Heat-Breath. One thing which isn’t paralleled, however, is his strength. Bizarro is actually much stronger than Superman, who restricts himself in order to protect others, something Bizarro usually doesn’t concern himself with.

Armored Superman
Superman: The Dark Side (1998) Writer: John Francis Moore. Penciler: Kieron Dwyer. Inker: Hilary Barta.
Superman: The Dark Side’s alternate Man of Steel
Earth-1198 saw a very different reality unfold, as Superman landed in the hands of Darkseid in Kieron Dwyer and Hilary Barta’s Superman: The Dark Side. Thanks to the war with Apokolips that completely shifted this version of Earth’s history, Superman is trained in the most brutal of ways by Darkseid’s forces.
The result is one of the darkest versions of Superman who not only seeks to cause chaos and destruction but is more powerful and deadly than most other Supermen in history. Even his costume is far more armored than anything previously seen. He is ready for war and helps lead Darkseid’s armies against Earth and its heroes.
7
Val-Zod
Earth 2, Vol.1 #19. Writer: Tom Taylor. Pencilers: Nicola Scott, and Robson Rocha. Inkers: Trevor Scott, and Oclair Albert. Colorist: Pete Pantazis. Letterer: Dezi Sienty. Editors: Anthony Marques, Mike Cotton, and Eddie Berganza.
Val-Zod as Earth-2’s Superman
Earth-2 has its own unique version of Superman, a young man by the name of Val-Zod. In a rare twist of fate, this is one of the few scenarios in the multiverse where Clark Kent wasn’t the only one who managed to survive the destruction of Krypton.
RELATED:

In this reality, Kal-El is actually killed early in his career and Val-Zod becomes a far more impressive iteration of Superman. His strength is, in part, actually a conscious use of the energy fields (powered by the yellow sun) meaning he can move items of great weight and is just as dangerous in battle.

Jon Kent
Convergence: Superman #2 (2015) Writer: Dan Jurgens. Art: Norm Rapmund, and Dan Jurgens. Cover: Lee Weeks. Variant Cover: Chip Kidd.
Jon Kent, the Son of Superman, waves and smiles in DC Comics
The return of the Pre-Flashpoint Superman in the Rebirth era introduced a new family dynamic to the DCU as classic versions of Clark Kent and Lois Lane returned with a new addition named Jonathan Samuel Kent. He began fighting crime as Superboy alongside his father and best friend, Damian Wayne/Robin.
Jon spent years traveling across time with his grandfather Jor-El and returned to the present as a young adult. He shares similar powers as his father, although he has already started to use them in brilliant and powerful new ways. In some areas, Jon Kent is a better Superman than his father, and he will only continue to grow more powerful.

Calvin Ellis
Final Crisis #7 (2009) Created by Grant Morrison, and Doug Mahnk.
Calvin Ellis fighting Darkseid
The Superman of Earth-23 is named Calvin Ellis, which is just one of the many differences in this multiversal world. Ellis was a Black Kryptonian from Vathlo Island, and was sent to Earth to escape his planet’s destruction. He became Superman when he was older and his powers fully developed, but he also gained a powerful role in his civilian identity as well.
Calvin Ellis is also the President of the United States, allowing him to better protect his world both politically and in his role as Superman. He became a hero of the multiverse during Final Crisis when he joined with other Supermen to help, and he leads a multiversal team of heroes known as Justice Incarnate in the Infinite Frontier era.

Kingdom Come Superman
Kingdom Come (1996). Writer: Mark Waid. Art: Alex Ross.
Superman from Kingdom Come flying towards the reader
Superman is very familiar with loss, but different writers have varying interpretations of how he deals with it. In contrast to that of the Injustice Universe, Superman of Earth-22 who first appeared in Mark Waid and Alex Ross’s Kingdom Come is perhaps an even greater symbol of hope.

All-Star Superman
All-Star Superman (2005). Writer: Grant Morrison. Penciler: Frank Quitely. Inker: Jamie Grant. Letterers: Phil Balsman, and Travis Lanham. Colorist: Jamie Grant. Editors: Brandon Montclare, and Bob Schreck.
All-Star Superman by Frank Quitely
There are many fans who consider All-Star Superman to be the Man of Steel’s best story. The colorful art style of Frank Quitely and the inspirational story by Grant Morrison serves to convey Superman’s many great strengths: his strength of character, the strength of commitment to his ideology, and of course his strength in battle. What’s more, this version of Superman overdoses on solar radiation which further increased his powerful abilities.

Cosmic Armor Superman
Final Crisis: Superman Beyond #2 (2009). Writer: Grant Morrison. Colorists: David Baron, J.H. Williams, III, Christian Alamy, Doug Mahnke. Cover Color by: David Baron, and J.H. Williams, III. Inkers: Derek Fridolfs, Tom Nguyen, Drew Geraci, and Christian Alamy. Letterer: Ken Lopez, DC Lettering. Penciler: Doug Mahnke.
Cosmic armor Superman
The Thought Robot that has become known as Cosmic Armor Superman is an incredibly strange creation. Not quite human and not quite synthetic, this creature was made to battle something far more powerful than Superman could ever face. Created by the Monitors, the Thought Robot was able to draw on the narrative of the comic world to alter reality.
After his battle was complete, the Thought Robot became part of the consciousness of the universe. He was so extremely powerful he was practically a god, with his strength far exceeding nearly every other version of the Man of Steel.

Superman Prime
DC One Million Vol.1 #4. Writer: Grant Morrison Penciler: Val Semeiks. Inkers: Prentis Rollins. Colorists: Pat Garrahy, and Heroic Age. Letterers: Ken Lopez. Editors: Dan Raspler, and Tony Bedard.
Superman Prime from DC One Million
Some of Superman’s powers were gained over time (such as his flight), but his greatest power-up came during the DC One Million event. After spending 15,000 years inside the sun itself, the DC One Million Superman Prime became one of the most powerful beings in all existence.
He was boosted in every single way possible, becoming faster, stronger, and more inspiring than any other version of Superman. A god in his own right, this version of Clark Kent demonstrates the full capabilities of Superman
