Powers and Abilities[]
Hank Henshaw gained abilities from a radiation incident during spaceflight, which caused the death of his wife and friends. His physical body decayed from the radiation's effects, and his mind was converted to an electric consciousness. Hank would learn to use this form to inhabit, create, and manipulate machines using advanced cyberpathy, a byproduct of learning that his existence in an electronic state left him unable to die.
By traveling into Superman's Kryptonian birthing matrix in orbit around Earth, Henshaw was able to decipher and memorize the Kryptonian genome as well as the components of Kryptonian metals. Constructing a new techno-organic body with this knowledge, he inherited synthetic abilities of Superman; Kryptonian powers granted by Earth's yellow sun. These include super speed, durability, strength, acute senses, as well as a weakness to Green Kryptonite. His strength is further augmented by his body being partly comprised of Kryptonian alloys, and his regenerative capabilities are also increased by being part machine.
Later allying himself with Sinestro against the forces of the Green Lantern Corps, the Cyborg Superman wields ten Qwardian Power Rings on his hands, each ring capable of creating hard-light projections from ambient fear energy. The combined power of his rings proportionately yields a tenfold output compared to the average Sinestro Corpsman.
Henshaw's cyberpathy also allows him to remotely control an army of Manhunter robots, android drones with Power Battery skulls for draining and recharging Power Rings. They serve his will even when he is offline.
