DC Comics is teasing the return of the Cyborg Superman with this stunning portrait by current Superman artist Kenneth Rocafort and the coy words of Editor Bob Harras:

“Some of you might remember the last time a Cyborg Superman showed up. Would we dare revisit such a classic storyline? Hmmm. Well, never say never, right? As I’ve been telling you, all bets are off. Everything’s on the table.

Sorry to make your head explode on a Friday, but enjoy Kenneth Rocafort’s lovely sketch in the meantime. We’ll be in the conference room discussing … oh, never mind.”

Hank Henshaw was an astronaut damaged by radiation on a mission and downloaded into a cyborg body – all were projects and products of Lexcorp!

After the apparent Death of Superman the Cyborg was among the heroes to step in for Kal-El in the Reign of the Superman epic.

In The New 52 Henshaw is a completely human scientist.

Could DC be planning to send Henshaw or a new character into space resulting in the creation of a new Cyborg Superman? And could this signal a New 52 storyline the kills Superman and reunites a new Reign of Supermen?
