The Supermen were: Last Son of Krypton (Action Comics), a cold, emotionless Kryptonian persona Superboy (Adventures of Superman), a teenage clone of Superman Steel (Superman: The Man of Steel), an engineer who built a high-powered suit of armor to carry on Superman's legacy and finally Cyborg Superman (Superman), who most resembled the real Man of Steel but who was a cybernetic organism. Each of the four superman books featured one of the four supermen, which were all created by the creative teams of those books. The premise was that, since Superman's death, four other supermen have appeared, claiming to be the resurrected Man of Steel, each with different powers and personalities, each having some claim to the Last son of Krypton's legacy. The storyline was carried throughout issues of Action Comics, Superman, Adventures of Superman, and Superman: The Man of Steel. The storyline not only brings back the Man of Steel to life, but also concludes The Death of Superman trilogy. The title was named for the very first Superman story by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Reign of the Superman. Reign of the Supermen (sold in trade paperback as The Return of Superman) was a 1990s comic book storyline published between June and October 1993, a followup to The Death of Superman and World Without a Superman.
