A New Inspiration For The Legion Of Super-Heroes? (Super-Spoilers)

A new inspiration for the new Legion Of Super-Heroes coming? (Super-Spoilers for the Superman Annual...)

The new Legion Of Super-Heroes comic book, out in September by Joshua Williamson and Hayden Sherman, begins with a look back to the past…

With the inspiration for the Legion Of Super-Heroes, classically, with Superboy, growing up on the Kent farm in Smallville, with his parents, a superdog and stopping a runaway train…

But, as in the Superman Annual Year One Thousand published by DC Comics today, Superman himself has restored all the potential versions of the Legion Of Super-Heroes, might there be a new figure who thinks they might be worthy of such inspiration themselves?

Of course he does. Cyborg Superman, he wants it all to be about him. Hank Henshaw, a former NASA astronaut, transferred his consciousness into a LexCorp mainframe and used Kryptonian technology from Superman's birthing matrix and Superman's genetic material to construct a new cyborg body, impersonating a resurrected Superman. Now, clearly after a greater legacy… welcome to the future. The Superman Annual Year One Thousand by Joshua Williamson, Eddy Barrows and Yasmine Putri is published by DC Comics today…
