Despite the fact that Superman's unparalleled power makes him a potential danger, one Marvel/DC crossover proves he's more dangerous dead than alive.
While it has been well established that Superman is not only the most powerful hero in history, but also a genuinely good person, he has been known to ‘break bad’ from time to time. Whether he’s pushed over the edge by the Joker, or somehow corrupted by Darkseid, Superman’s gone dark on more than one occasion. Everytime he does, the entire world is in unparalleled danger.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT When Kal-El was a baby, Krypton was on the verge of destruction. His parents decided to send him to Earth to give Kal a better chance of survival despite the fact that they would never get to see him grow up–or even know if he made it to Earth alive. Thankfully, Kal-El’s trip across the cosmos was a success, and he landed on Planet Earth safe and sound. Not only that, but he was taken in by the best possible people, the Kents.
Superman Died Before Reaching Earth, & His DNA was Harvested by Humanity In the Amalgam Universe’s Super Soldier #1 by Mark Waid and Dave Gibbons, readers are introduced to Clark Kent aka Super-Soldier. In this reality, Clark Kent is the amalgamation of the original Clark Kent and Steve Rogers aka Captain America. While this new character kept Superman’s name, he and the original Man of Steel have one key difference: Amalgam Clark is human, not Kryptonian.
The fact that Superman’s DNA can be used to effectively turn regular humans into Kryptonians–as Super-Soldier had virtually the same powers as Superman–is immensely troubling. That means that the program responsible for creating Super-Soldier could have easily created an army of supermen instead, and then used them to take over the world, or simply unleashed them upon the world. Either way, the world would be in trouble if this were to happen–and there’s a good chance that it would.
When Superman gets twisted into a villain during certain storylines, there are few things more dangerous than he is. But, an army of supermen created and then unleashed by a Weapon X equivalent is one of those things, proving that Superman is more dangerous dead than alive.
