Henry "Hank" Henshaw is the Cyborg Superman, one of four replacements for the Man of Steel after the hero's perceived death. Unlike the others, he quickly strayed from his path, becoming a global threat through partnerships with Mongul, the Manhunters and the Sinestro Corps.
After a time of slow crime in Metropolis, Superman walks across the midwest to focus on the troubles of everyday people. In this period, he faces depression and the questioning of his beliefs of Truth, Justice, and The American Way. Along the way he is followed by Lisa Jennings and meets the Superman Squad.
