I like the look of the figure overall, and am most happy about the tighter ab-crunch and lighter cape. He also sports a new right hand, this one adorned with four Sinestro Corps rings. He features a new pair of DCUC legs bringing him in line with his current appearance (and making him easier to stand). Some fans are upset by the oversized neck, but, in hand, I don’t think it’s all that distracting.Ĭyborg Superman is mostly a repaint of the original DCSH version* and as such he retains the detailed sculpt. On the head sculpt, the 4H smartly used his 80s look, making him more shark- than his initial appearances where he was a big-nosed, pointy-eared dude. The five fins help really help sell the overall look. Frankly, that’s probably more pieces than this character deserved, but it’s appreciated. When I opened him, I discovered that he also had new forearms and new calves, each with their own sculpted fin. I was expecting a Shark head on the basic buck with the dorsal fin plugged in the back.
I’m up for just about anybody, but they don’t all hold the same level of interest for me. I hadn’t cared much about him when he was first shown. I have to admit that the Shark surprised me. Still, you’re here for the review, right? Well, let’s go… * – Yeah, that was way too long, but I can’t help it.
His latest return was in Geoff John’s Sinestro Corps War where he appeared in this costume as the Grandmaster of the Manhunters.* Yet, he always makes his way back from any punishment or prison. He conquers Apokolips, spends some time in the Marvel universe, becomes part of the Source wall, and ends up in the Phantom Zone.
#GREEN LANTERN VILLAINS CRACKED#
That same action caught the ire of Hal Jordan and set our fearless hero down that wonderful path that cracked the GL fanbase in half. He gets busy convincing most everyone he’s the real deal, but then go and destroys Coast City and the jig was up. He’s gone for a couple years, but returns to impersonate Superman when he was ‘sorta’ dead. He temporarily transfers his consciousness to Superman’s birthing matrix, picks up Supe’s DNA and some Krypton tech, then leaves for certain oblivion. Hank would’ve likely offed himself to, but since he turned into a “ghost in the machine”, he can’t.
Well, his cured wife kills herself because Hank transformed into a hideous thing, but same difference. The origin is basically the same as the F4, except for Hank’s whole team ends up committing suicide after they transform into hideous things. Hank Henshaw first appeared as DC’s (unlucky) version of Mr. Most recently, he’s become a hulking, monstrous man-shark at the hands of Geoff Johns.Ĭyborg Superman is a villain seemingly on permanent loan from Superman. He’s only had a couple dozen appearances since and has moved on to terrorize Aquaman (go figure), Superman, the Justice League, and even the (awesome) 90’s Black Condor.
He got reverted into a shark and put under guard for his efforts. He wanted to teach Hal Jordan a thing or two about fear* and get a hearty meal while he was at it. He was created in 1963 by the same Broom/Kane team that brought us Hal Jordan. One is a mutated tiger shark that can evolve from shark to human, or somewhere in-between, seemingly at will. These two villains are not the first you’d think of when contemplating Green Lantern’s rogue’s gallery. Today’s review is on two Green Lantern foes: the Shark and Cyborg Superman in his Sinestro Corps duds. On Monday, we brought you the three Green Lanterns of DCUC11, but that wave still had more Green Lantern goodness to give.
