Summary

While aboard the LexCorp space shuttle Excalibur, Henry "Hank" Henshaw, his wife Terri and the other members Steven and Jim were exposed to cosmic radiation that caused their ship to crash. Despite this, Henry and his wife suffered no ill-effects at first (aside from Hank's hair becoming white) so they traveled to Metropolis in order to use LexCorp facilities to heal the rest of the crew. However, when Steven (now a being of pure cosmic radiation) committed suicide during a battle with Superman, Hank's body began to decay and Terri began warping into an alternate dimension. Though Superman successfully aided Hank in saving Terri, Hank seemingly died shortly afterward.

But Hank had not truly died. After transferring his consciousness to LexCorp's mainframe, Hank gained the power to control technology and appeared to his wife in a robotic body. The shock of Hank's unexpected return drove Terri to insanity and later her death. Henry then beamed his mind into Superman's birthing matrix and used it to create a spacecraft so he could leave Earth. Over time, Henry traveled to other planets and became paranoid and delusional. Now believing that Superman had caused the deaths of him and his wife, Henry later returned to Earth for revenge under the title of Cyborg Superman.
