Superman<\/a><\/strong> is widely regarded as the strongest hero in the DC Universe<\/a><\/strong>. Certainly he\u2019s one of the most powerful and virtually immortal beyond a few specific weaknesses. However, an ally best known from the DCEU<\/a><\/strong> just helped the Man of Steel become even stronger and killed two members of the Green Lantern Corps<\/a><\/strong> in the process.<\/p>\n

\"Superman<\/p>\n

The battle came in DC K.O. #3<\/a>, by Scott Snyder<\/a> and\u00a0Javier Fern\u00e1ndez<\/a>. The latest chapter of the series detailing a cosmic tournament for the power of Darkseid<\/a> changed things up for its third round. This time, the surviving challengers, including Superman, had to choose an ally to fight by their side in a two-on-two duel.<\/p>\n

What heroes died in battle with Superman?<\/p>\n

Superman\u2019s challenger was the Green Lantern<\/a> Guy Gardner<\/a>, who chose fellow Green Lantern Hal Jordan<\/a> as his second. The Man of Steel chose Billy Batson, a.k.a. Shazam<\/a>. At first, this seemed to be a fairly even match, with both pairs of heroes having similar power sets. <\/p>\n

However, Clark Kent<\/a> had a reason for partnering with Billy Batson beyond a shared idealism and a comparable level of power. He didn\u2019t even choose Billy because the power of Shazam was magic, which is one of Superman\u2019s few weaknesses. Indeed, he chose Billy because of one of the few things Billy can do that Superman cannot; share his power with other people.<\/p>\n

While he hoped to win alongside his hero, Billy didn\u2019t hesitate once he was mortally wounded. He said the magic word \u201cShazam\u201d and summoned his magic lightning, aiming it toward Superman. The magically empowered Man of Steel soon make quick work of the two Green Lanterns, though he took little joy in his victory.<\/p>\n
