Superman Gets His Rematch Against DC's Strongest Hero, Captain Atom

Superhero fans were promised one massive fight-to-the-death tournament in the DC Universe, and now that fistfight has officially begun. With the first rounds of the DC K.O. event killing heroes left and right, and transforming others into god-tier monsters, the one-on-one matches can begin. But with Superman getting his rematch against the deadliest of DC’s heroes, will the Man of Steel finally redeem his most embarrassing defeat?

The title fight for “DC’s deadliest weapon” officially begins in the first preview pages for Superman vs. Captain Atom, already giving the advantage to the nuclear man. Despite the fate of all reality at hand, Superman’s wholesome nature means he’s still not ready to unleash his full Kryptonian power set. But that’s no issue for Nathaniel Adam, who’s been waiting years to tee off on an opponent as annoying as a finger-wagging Superman.

The fight is more than just a test of his character for Superman, but a test of his actual abilities in a truly all-out brawl. Comic fans will remember that when Superman and Captain Atom both took their gloves off (figuratively) in a fight to the death, Injustice revealed the winner to be Atom, without any room to argue. Will history repeat itself in the main DC Universe, or will this Captain Atom hold back?

Fans will get to see for themselves when DC K.O. Superman vs Captain Atom #1 arrives on December 3 from DC Comics.
