In Marvel Comics, a character very much like DC Comics' Superman has appeared. The Marvel Superman, Hyperion, is no longer just a hero - he's a powerful and formidable enemy!
Hyperon, who you might know as Mark Milton, first appeared in 1971 in Marvel Comics and has made multiple appearances! Squadron Supreme is where we initially see this powerful super-being in his heroic mode. This version of Hyperion also happens to be part of the Squadron Sinister. However, his character, especially during the Heroes Reborn event, shows us that his background and experiences create some amazing conflict!
It's not an uncommon occurrence! Avengers villain have tried to destroy the Earth over and over. This time, it seems a major battle is occurring as part of the Heroes Reborn universe! You could even say it's a twist on the history of the Earth Mightiest Heroes!
The history of this powerful super-being is wild. Hyperon, a character we see in Avengers #17, was an artificial construct created by Mephisto, a demon in the Marvel Comics universe! He has ties to both Heroes Reborn universe and other realities. This powerful super-being has some incredibly powerful abilities - he can even fly and manipulate his own power, making him a fearsome Avengers enemy!
While this superpowered threat has been making headlines as of late, there's a fascinating storyline here! Hyperion is the main reason we see the emergence of the Squadron Supreme in Marvel Comics! But, did you know he had a close relationship with the Red Widow who had used Red Room protocols to influence and deprogram his mind? She helped him deal with mental manipulation that was inflicted during his earlier missions! This is all tied to how Hyperion got to where he is now and why he's trying to commit a galactic murder-suicide.
With the introduction of a new new Avenger (Storm!), fans might want to explore what kind of impact her powers and influence will have. Even a powerful foe, like Hyperion, will struggle to handle the Omega-level might that Storm can unleash! If there is hope, maybe Storm can bring Hyperion out of his fractured mind. He is currently lost in confusion and even questioning if his entire life was a lie! We have a lot of new information to look forward to!
Fans can pick up the newest release of the Marvel Comics issue, Avengers #17. It's available now. Get a glimpse into what happens next for this epic clash between Hyperon and the Avengers!
