After Flashpoint, Superman’s uncle Zor-El, escaped Krypton’s destruction,
thanks to the Collector of Worlds, Brainiac. Subjected to cybernetic augmentations that deranged his personality, Zor-El became Cyborg Superman—Brainiac’s scout for a stronger species in the universe. He attempted to conquer Earth, battling Superman and his own daughter Kara Zor-El, but somehow escaped the black hole doom that befell Brainiac. Also surviving the Rebirth event, Cyborg Superman reanimated the dead Krytponians of Argo City and again attacked Earth, only to be defeated by Supergirl and Superman.
