Superman equal pain. He masqueraded as a resurrected Superman after the hero's apparent death, claiming

to be the result of Superman's remains being reconstructed into cybernetic form. The ruse was a

tremendous success, even earning the Cyborg an endorsement from the U.S. President as the "true"

Superman. Hank Henshaw betrayed those whose lives he was entrusted with when he obliterated Coast

City with the help of Mongul; this event led to Green Lantern Hal Jordan's mental breakdown and later

transformation into Parallax. Later he became a member of the Sinestro Corps, still continuing to

mockingly bear Superman's insignia.

Jax-Ur (Pre-Crisis)

Adventure Comics

#289 (October

1961)

Jax-Ur was an amoral and criminally deviant scientist on the planet Krypton. He was imprisoned in the

Phantom Zone for destroying Wegthor, one of the Krypton's inhabited (Population: 500) moons while

experimenting with a nuclear warhead-equipped rocket. Jax-Ur's intention was to launch and test-fire it

against a passing space rock. If this test proved successful, Jax-Ur would then commence the build-up of a

massive personal nuclear arsenal with which he would overthrow the Kryptonian government, and place

the entire planet under his dominion. (In the World of Kryptonminiseries, he is shown test-launching a

nuclear missile, intended to destroy a space rock, but a collision with a spaceship piloted by Jor-El sent it

off-course.) Because of this, space travel was forbidden. He calls himself "the worst criminal in the

Phantom Zone". His sentence for his act of mass murder is life imprisonment. In his first appearance, he

managed to escape from the Phantom Zone, and posed as a super-powered version of Jonathan Kent.

Superboy eventually sent Jax-Ur back to the Phantom Zone. Most of his later Silver Age appearances show

him in his ghostly Phantom Zone form. Jax-Ur did not appear after the Crisis on Infinite Earths for some

time, as until the recent appearance of Supergirl there was a rule that no Kryptonians survived exceptSuperman. However in one story he shows some honour, as he is released to help Superman defeat a

criminal who caused Krypton's destruction and allows himself to be sent back.

Jax-Ur subsequently became the first prisoner banished to the Phantom Zone. Jax-Ur is shown to be of the

Science guild, is bald, and has one eye. He is part of General Zod's sleeper agents on Earth. He is currently

employed by S.T.A.R. Labs as a scientist. Jax-Ur appeared in Superman: The Animated Series, where he

was voiced by Ron Perlman. He was portrayed more like Zod, a military genius who had attempted to

with long white hair named Mala (based on Ursa and Faora).

completely. This event causes Luthor to snap and become a dangerous criminal who plots the destruction

of Superman.

In the modern era, Lex Luthor was re-envisioned as a wealthy CEO/scientist who hides his sociopathic

tendencies behind a mask of philanthropy. Although beloved by the people of Metropolis for his many

public works, Superman knows the truth. In the mainstream comic series, Luthor eventually manipulates
