begins with the most famous super murder, and the death of Kryptonian monsters also causes the iconic hero to bite the dust (although their respective deaths are not as certain as expected in the comics realm). After he fled from the catacombs, the apocalypse rages across the country, eventually attracting the attention of the Justice League.
After a brief and intense encounter with the behemoth, only Clark stood up to face a new powerful threat. The beastly anger and sheer power of the world forced the hero to use the power reserves he had previously reserved to keep up with his opponents, a power showcase that naturally proved dangerous to combatants and the various environments in which they clash.
Although Iron Man was able to calm the threat before it escalated further, it was at the cost of his own life. The subsequent encounter with the monster witnesses the hero's victory due to the terrifying regeneration/adaptation ability of the apocalypse.
9. Zod General, Quex-Ul and Zaora - Superman #22
Shortly after his origin, ability and nature were rebooted in " Infinite Earth Crisis ", Superman was put in an embarrassing situation where he had to kill people to save countless lives. Many fans know about Superman killing Zod in Iron Man, but few know that Krypton’s Last Son fatally failed this particular nickname for the first time.
Through the conspiracy of the time trap, mainstream Superman encounters a young version from a pocket universe similar to that of the pre-crisis pocket. This means that Super Boy and all Kryptonians of his time were much stronger than Clark, who gained first-hand experience when encountering General Zod, Quixuer and Zaora of that era.
The evil trio has carried out a destructive rampage throughout the alternating timeline, with Superman being forced to intervene after his opponent died earlier. Finally, the hero uses a combination of gold and green Kryptonite to dispel and kill the rogue aliens (kryptonite from the universe outside of himself has no effect on Superman).
Although the pocket universe survived, the execution put a heavy burden on the hero, and until this point he had not taken his life.
8. Flash - DCeased
What happens when an unstoppable force encounters an immovable object? While this thought experiment is contradictory by its nature, this question can be used to describe to some extent the incredible results of the head-on collision between Superman and the Flash. 2019's DCeased to answer this question, which was a devastating result for both heroes, especially the zombie-like Scarlet Speedster.
In this self-integrated story, the earth is infected by a technological organic virus that is caused by the interference of Darkside on the steel bone body. The virus quickly spreads on Earth and infects many civilians and heroes, including the Flash.
Then, a zombie-like Barry sped on the earth, infecting countless people in the process. Realizing that he was the only one who could keep up with the hero, Superman flew around the world, bumped into his former teammate, and killed him on the spot.
Unfortunately, some of the Flash's bodies were stuck with Superman's side, infecting him in the process. The zombie-like Kryptonian then embarked on a crazy path of his own, and eventually he absorbed the sun itself to destroy the entire solar system.
7. Wonder Woman - Superman/ Batman : Absolute Power
Although Fantastic Amazon is one of Superman's greatest ally and trustworthy friends, in some cases, the two giants have no agreement. In some cases, such as a one-off absolute power storyline, this turns into complete hatred, leading to the death of Diana .
In this timeline, Superman and Batman are trained as global dictators by the futurist legion of supervillains and adapted to territory, this new version of the beloved hero is the vicious murderer who does not back down when dealing with any objection they encounter.
When clashing with Wonder Woman, Uncle Sam (this character is exactly what you think it is) and Freedom Fighter, Diana kills this version of Bruce with a sword, an act that infuriates Clark, who viciously beats the heroine to succumb to her own truth lasso before strangling her.
Fortunately, after the titular hero jumped multiple times and died multiple times, the timeline was reset and the damage caused by the Super Villain Legion was undocumented, ensuring that the best in the world followed their expected path on the timeline.
6. Shazam - Injustice: The Gods among us
Injustice comics and games witnessed Superman committing numerous atrocities during his five years of reign over the planet. Starting with killing Arrow, Joker and countless innocent people, Carl Al has no bottom line that won't cross when pursuing his version of the Global Order.
As his dictatorship is coming to an end, the former hero begins to lose the trust of his allies, especially given the increasingly successful Batman-led insurgent group smearing and thwarting the influence of the Superman government. One such hero is Billy Batterson / Shazam , who is disappointed by his teammates/idol's decision to razor Gotham City and everything left over from the Metropolitan.
The young hero made a mistake in calling out the cruelty of Superman’s plan by citing the late Louis Lane. This angered the unstable Kryptonians. Before Shazan defends himself with his singular noun, Superman seals the former's mouth with his cold breath and burns Billy's head with his hot vision. This cruel execution of
is the last straw for Superman allies, especially the Flash, who finally sees his own mistake and turns to the Schizophrenic.
5. Mogo (and Ganthet) - Injustice: Gods among us 2nd year
In the comics world, you will surely find pleasant strange characters, and Mogo is one of them. A perceptual planet, Mogo joined Green Light Legion at some point, but is not known for being the most extroverted person there, as a living planet and so on. That is to say, he is one of the most powerful Green Lantern at present, and the reason is easy to understand.
This makes him even more shocking to die at the hands of the Yellow Lantern Superman in the Injustice comic series. Before meeting the now brutal Tomorrow Man, Mogo played a major role in eliminating a large number of members of the Sinestro Legion (who were then allied with Superman) and played a key role in fighting the fallen hero and his evil allies.
Unfortunately for them Superman has a yellow lantern ring, which strengthens his already quite powerful power and even poses a threat to Mogo himself. Kryptonian Tyrant uses his newly discovered power to push Mogo (and Gant, the guardian of the universe who happens to be in the former) toward the sun, killing both of them in the process.

Not long ago, the father and son embarked on an interstellar journey and witnessed the alien civilization Clark defeating the rogue Sun Eater. While the superhero did not use his power in battle (mainly due to the presence of red sun radiation), he helped defeat it by transporting a powerful explosive called an entropy bomb to the core of the entity.
Except for one of the same entries that the Sun Eater is not a living being, Superman’s parents do not participate in his adventures every day, especially otherworldly adventures.
3. Imperiex (and Brainiac 13) – Our World of War
Our World War Legend is one of DC’s most underrated crossover events as it brings new changes throughout the universe, such as the establishment of Superman Revenge Squad, as well as the death of heroes such as Hippolyta , Strange Visitors and Thousand Mile Horse, and as ally of villains like Darkseid and Mongul.
sees that the threat posed by these events is a god-like existence Imperiex (essentially DC's response to Galactus). As the embodiment of entropy, Imperex believes that the current universe is flawed and tries to transform it in the way he sees it fits. Using Mongol's World of War (a moon-sized spacecraft) as a conduit of his power, this cosmic entity begins his Milky Way rampage.
followed by a massive battle, in which the evil Brainiac 13 takes advantage of this situation and absorbs Imperiex's doomsday energy for itself. This unexpected collaboration forces Superman to increase his power by sneaking into the sun and pushing Warworld through Boom Tube created by other heroes (and Darkside), which leads to the moment before the Big Bang
Before the cosmic phenomenon eliminates Imperiex and Brainiac 13, the former discovers that the flaw in the universe he discovers is actually himself.
2. Mr. Mxyzptlk - What happened to the people tomorrow?
Usually, the fifth dimension of the devil is just a trouble in Superman's life, often interfering with the hero's daily activities. There wouldn't be any problem if it weren't for Mxy being a powerful reality distort who transcends the laws of three-dimensional realm. This is far from what happened in the groundbreaking What happened to the man of Tomorrow? story.
1986's comic is the ending of Superman before the crisis, which makes him fight against his enemies who become more dangerous and/or brutal than before. In addition, Superman's secret identity is exposed to the world, putting his relatives in danger. After several dangerous encounters that killed most of his friends and enemies, the titular hero realized that he had never encountered this omnipotent devil at any time.
This is where Mxy reveals himself as the inciteer behind Clark's current predicament. To prevent further destruction of the crazy influence of the Imp, Superman traps Mxyzptlk between his hometown dimension and the Phantom Zone, tearing the latter in half.
Supes was frustrated by his behavior, and he deprived him of his ability and hid in order to live a normal life with Loise and their son Jonathan.
1. Darkseid - The Final Crisis
The King of Apocalypse proves time and time again that he is one of DC's most powerful villains, and he seems to have no trouble over the entire super team and powerful forces like Wonder Woman and of course Superman. However, the ultimate crossover of the crisis highlights Darkside’s true power, whose nature corrodes the DC universe itself.
This event turns the earth into zero ground, because the villain destroys the final plan of the universe before he dies. Naturally, all kinds of heroes in the universe are trying to stop this plan, even if they are becoming victims of Darkside’s destructive sacrifice.
Before the villain's nature can destroy the entire DC, Superman notices that it runs at very specific frequencies, and he can fight back with his own powerful notes. The high-pitched voice of
can dissipate the new god's vitality and completely erase him. While the idea of Superman defeating Darkseid in a high profile may sound ridiculous and anti-climax to some, it demonstrates the hero’s ingenuity and his ability to overcome threats without resorting to simple blows and explosions.
