In 1992, DC Comics published the iconic “Death of Superman” saga, which saw the Kryptonian monster Doomsday arrive at Earth to kill the Man of Steel. Despite the best efforts of the Justice League and fellow Metropolis-based heroes, the result was the titular demise of Superman, as well as his attacker. Since the event concluded with the hero’s return, Clark Kent has been left with many great heroes primed to take up his mantle should his death ever prove permanent.”The Death of Superman” and its conclusion, “Return of Superman,” lasted from 1992 to 1993, and followed the epic saga between the hero’s death, his successor Superman and his eventual return. In the interim period, when the hero was dead and Metropolis left to grieve, a slew of new “Supermen” showed up looking to fill the hero’s shoes. In the thirty years since, Metropolis has been populated with many great heroes, all of whom would make for worthy successors to Kent’s mantle. However, this has also left readers with the question of who would be the best hero to take up the title of Earth’s Man of Tomorrow should Clark Kent’s death ever prove permanent. Although the heroes of Metropolis are all honorable characters, not all are suited to fill the shoes left by the original Man of Steel.In 1992, creators like Roger Stern, Jerry Ordway and Dan Jurgens collaborated to bring readers the epic story of Superman’s death. This began when the monster known as Doomsday crashed to Earth, beginning a rampage towards Metropolis, where he fought Superman. Though heroes like Booster Gold, Guardian, Ice and Fire stepped in to try and defeat Doomsday, he was ultimately successful in killing the hero, though Superman managed to kill him too. This left the city without its iconic protector, leaving a very noticeable void in the lives of its citizens. Though die-hard DC fans knew the hero would be back soon enough, many readers and mainstream fans were left to wonder if it was permanent. In fact, the story sold enormously off the prospect that the death would prove permanent.RELATED: DC’s Hypertime Vs Multiverse – What’s The Difference?
