8 Heroes More Powerful Than Superman To Add To The DCEU

6. Captain Atom

Classically, Captain Atom is Nathaniel Adam - a man who was coerced into an experiment which bonded an alien metal to his skin. It sent him eighteen years into the future and tied him into the Quantum Field, which enables him to absorb and manipulate potentially infinite amounts of energy, granting him superhuman strength, flight, energy blasts, atomic transmutation and atomic absorption. His journeys through time have been quite sporadic since that event and he has routinely mingled with Superman and related characters on numerous occasions - indeed, he has fought alongside the Man of Steel as part of certain iterations of the Justice League. His strength isn't on a par with Superman, but his other esoteric abilities put him well above the Kryptonian on the whole. Moreover, having a man out of time with such interesting abilities in the DCEU would really spice the franchise up and the mouthwatering prospect of him transforming into the villainous Monarch - who can treat Superman like a bug - would always potentially be on the horizon.
