Eradicator

...

Eradicator.

Cyborg.

Yeah.

But there's a little end teaser of, like, hmm, this machine was used twice, and it's like, so are you just setting up that Zod can just...

He did, it's, you know, did a female Eradicator, like-

The Eradikatrix?

Eradikatrix.

[laughs]

That's why I didn't say that, female Eradicator.

[laughs]

Uh, uh, did she put him in there when no one was looking? And, like-

Yeah

... and had, like, the Eradicator in some capacity, that sort of thing.

Yeah.

I hon- I honestly thought they were gonna do the death of Superman for a minute, because I don't-

He's gone.

They have like a funeral for a friend wi- with like, you know, in the Superman series where they're just like, "This is Lois in Metropolis," and the entire superhero community, the whole world is having to deal with losing Superman, right? And so after that, you know, because Superman is gone, that absence creates then Reign of Superman, right? So we have Steel, we have Superboy, The Eradicator, Cyborg Superman.

Each of them are occupying like a different piece of the space that Clark left behind to a certain extent.

They're not really for, like temporary costumes that disappear when Superman returns, um, especially in the cases of Steel and Superboy.

Just know that it's a, it's a pretty solid kinda storyline.

But here's the thing, right? 238 days after Superman number 75, the one where, you know, he died, he comes back.

DC's summary basically says that r- the Regeneration Matrix was involved with restoring him, and it looks like The Eradicator also was playing into the mechanics of his recovery somehow.

And so to a certain extent, Superman is really giving us a relatively clean version of like, you know, death, resurrection, and everything.
