Superman Is Dead, but ‘Superman & Lois’ Has Found a Replacement… For Now

As a seasoned gamer and ardent fan of Superman & Lois, I must admit that the death of our beloved Man of Steel has left quite a void. The series has always been a rollercoaster ride for me, but this latest twist has taken it to another level.


For those who follow Superman & Lois, it’s clear that Superman has met his demise. The third season hinted at the “Death of Superman” narrative, and in the fourth season, we witnessed Doomsday taking the life of the Man of Steel. Although Superman is set to return eventually, the world currently finds itself without its protector until then.

Initially, there were several options, among them being Jordan Kent taking over from his father. However, as you’re aware, it became clear that he wasn’t equipped with the necessary abilities and expertise to fulfill that role effectively. Confronting Doomsday, Lex Luthor, and possibly Brainiac is a daunting challenge, one that Jordan isn’t yet ready for at this moment.

In other words, since Clark Kent is absent, another character will take over temporarily until he returns. Remarkably, the show has introduced an engaging and mysterious figure as a replacement for Clark Kent, and we’ll delve into who this newcomer is and his future role in the series in this article.

John Henry Irons is a genius engineer who managed to construct a metallic suit of armor that managed to mimic Superman’s powers. He appeared in the aftermath of Superman’s assumed death at the hands of Doomsday as one of Earth’s new protectors, taking the superhero name Steel. After Superman’s resurrection, Steel was accepted as his ally, and while he hasn’t really been a major player since, he is nevertheless an important part of DC’s lore.

In terms of “Superman & Lois,” it’s no wonder Seel’s part is expanding with Superman departing, as the series often takes inspiration from the original comics. Previously, Irons was portrayed as an adversary to Superman, but their relationship has evolved into an alliance. Now that Clark Kent is absent, Irons seems to be the only character who could potentially challenge Luthor and Doomsday.

According to what’s been stated, Jordan Kent isn’t quite up for the task at hand right now, and it seems we’ll have to wait a while before he’s prepared to take over from his father. In the meantime, the US Department of Defense will keep Steel’s phone number handy, making him the go-to guy for safeguarding Earth against any malevolent forces that may pose a threat.

As a gamer immersed in this world, I’ve got to say, although Wolé Parks’ character is only around temporarily, we all know Superman, aka Clark Kent, will be back eventually. But for now, poor old Steel is in a pickle – he’s no match for Doomsday, Luthor, and if Brainiac joins the fray, forget about it! Steel’s on his own here, which is why we’re all eagerly awaiting Clark’s return. Until then, though, we can still savor a taste of Steel’s powers in the series.
