My Adventures with Superman Season 3 Episode 5 Revisits “Death of Superman”

The fifth episode of Season 3 of the Adult Swim animated series *My Adventures with Superman* aired on June 14 2026 under the title “The Death of Superman.” The episode pits Clark Kent/Superman (Jack Quaid) against Hank Henshaw/Cyborg Superman, who wields a Kryptonite core to poison Superman and threatens Metropolis with massive destruction. Superman is driven to the brink, losing his powers and facing a symbolic death, while Henshaw is ultimately killed. The story elements tie into Jon Kent’s time‑travel arc, revealing a future overrun by an army of Eradicator‑style Cyborg Supermen. Showrunners Jake Wyatt and Brendan Clogher explained that the plot reimagines the classic 1992 comic arc to explore themes of xenophobia, the fear of the future, and what truly defines Superman – the “Super” or the “Man.” Lex Luthor’s role is expanded, and the episode blends the original “Death of Superman” with aspects of the “Reign of the Supermen” storyline, offering a modern, character‑driven take on a celebrated comic‑book event.
