Warning ! coddler ahead for Superman : Lost # 8!When it comes to a powerful new acclivity for one classical villain , Supermanmay desire to listen to his first cousin , Supergirl . A classic foe becomes bigger and badder than ever and even Kara Zor - El think that her relative is playing with fire by not claim his fresh sort severely .
InSuperman : Lost # 8by Christopher Priest and Carlo Pagulayan , a tsunami is endangering a peninsula , and making things bad theclassic Superman foe Metallo . Metallo has absorbed several combat ship stationed in the peninsula andbecome a kaiju - sized freak . Metallo can even remove demigod - sized drones , each with their own kryptonite power supply .
Fortunately , Supergirl comes in toassist her first cousin , fall apart Superman ’s all - lily-white costume to protect her from the radiation . She ’s livid that Clark would do something so heady say that a lunatic powered by kryptonite could have easily killed him , peculiarly with his upgrades . Superman disagree saying he had things under mastery , but Supergirl thinks otherwise .
Metallo’s New Form is a Confirmed Superman Killer
Superman has a mess of mortal villains in his rogues ' gallery , but Metallo is by far one of his most dangerous . John Corben was once a soldier whose body was damaged and replace by one powered by kryptonite , Superman ’s radioactive Achille ’s hound . Metallo has been one of Superman ’s most underrated threat . Not only does he lead off the most poisonous material to Clark , but John has taken on dangerous new forms over the years , sometimes augment by Lex Luthor or life-threatening alien applied science . No matter how many times Metallo is defeated by Superman , the scoundrel always come in back braggy and well than before .
As far as Superman ’s villain go , Metallo does n’t normally rate as a serious threat , at least not as much as someone like Doomsday or Mongul . However , this newfangled and improved rendering of John Corben is one of his most twisted forms ever . Not only is he compose of genuine warships , he cansend out pilotless aircraft that can gang upand attack Superman . Even Supergirl recognizes that this edition of Metallo is far more dangerous than he usually is ( and that ’s say something given Kara ’s past with Metallo ’s similar pardner Reactron ) . While Kara was able to deal things thanks to Clark ’s new costume , there ’s a strong fortune that Superman would have been seriously outgunned by Metallo ’s dangerous new word form .
Metallo Finally Has a Body That Rivals Superman
Though it is n’t escort for very long , Metallo ’s upgraded organic structure is one of the largest and most annihilative upgrades he ’s ever get down . Even his recent Orphan Box ascent from Lex Luthor did n’t give Metallo a kaiju - sized trunk or theability to command copies of himself . Granted Kara was able to halt it thanks to Clark ’s radiotherapy - proof costume . But Supergirl is extremely cognizant that Clark taking on the raise Metallo without any form of security is an absolute death wish . Hopefully , Supermanwill take heed toSupergirlthe next metre he clashes with his upgraded nemesis .
