After Big Blue's "death" in 1992, they did another great story where four pretenders to the throne arose, each trying to pass themselves off as the real Man of Steel. The story was awesome in that it introduced four new characters and brought back the original, and had wider consequences for all of DC with the destruction of Coast City and what that meant for Green Lantern and other characters. But which of the four "supermen" were your favorite? Superboy:  Steel:  Cyborg:  Eradicator:  I've used the images of how they first appeared in that storyline rather than how they look now. For me, for whatever reason the Eradicator is the one I liked the best over the course of that story; though once Superboy's title launched in the early 90's by Kesel and Grummett, it was so fun that he probably supplanted the former a bit. I like all four honestly, but for the purposes of this poll, I'm voting Eradicator, cuz I dug him the most first. |

Cyborg superman because he came from a ridiculous parody of the fantastic four and his name is Hank Henshaw

Very true. I also like how they've changed his look over the years as well.

Obviously the answer to this question is the real Superman who reigns over all Supermen.
ELECTRIC SUP...you know what, no. I'm going to stop myself before making a "joke" that's paramount to a war crime.
I'm sorry for almost going there, everyone.

The title kind of makes me think of Roman Reigns spearing Superman.

Superboy I didn't really get into until Geoff Johns' Teen Titans run, but I'm going based on at the time of the storyline in question. |

Death and Return was also a pretty sweet Beat-em-up game.

Steel because he probably fit the Superman ideals the closest, followed by Henshaw.

At the time none of the interested me.
After Infinite Crisis it was Superboy.
After 52 it was Steel.
After The Sinestro Corp Wars it was Cyborg.
Eradicator...meh.

When I was a little kid I LOVED the Cyborg Superman (Hank Henshaw). I had a feeling he was evil, but I loved his look. I also kinda reasoned that he was the only one who was wearing an actual Superman Costume, being a cyborg because of the battle damage from Doomsday made sense, and because it was so obvious that he looked evil DC would go for a "surprise" and show that he was the actual one.
After him though, I liked Eradicator. His costume was awesome. I always hated Superboy's original attitude, and the Steel comics had horrible artwork.

Cyborg-Superman, especially after he became the leader of the Manhunters.
