10 Superman Rip-Offs Who Are Stronger Than The Man Of Steel
9. Hyperion
Hyperion is an alien that crash-landed on Earth in a rocket ship when he was a baby. When he was picked up by government officials several hours later, they performed a series of tests that proved he was borderline indestructible. According to one analyst, you would have to press a five-ton spike into his chest for an hour straight to pierce it.
But that when he was a newborn. His skin gets denser daily. When he was only a few weeks old, there was almost no natural material on Earth that could harm him.
As he got stronger, the government became terrified that he could grow up to become a genocidal maniac. The higher-ups at the Pentagon ordered the alien to be brainwashed with American ideals and have him pasted as a patriotic superhero called Hyperion.
When he discovered the government had manipulated him since birth, he stopped working for them and gave humanity one single warning to leave him alone.
To showcase that he could destroy mankind if he chose to, he collided into the North Pole with such force, it scored 10.1 on the Richter Scale. (For the record, the Richter Scale is meant to go up to 10.0.)
