In a dramatic twist in the DC Comics universe, the new villain Matriarch has killed Superman, marking a pivotal moment in the series. Matriarch, who possesses absolute power, uses Kryptonite and a Green Lantern ring to execute Superman while torturing him for information about Wonder Woman's whereabouts. This event echoes the history of Superman's vulnerability, as he has faced death at the hands of various villains, including Doomsday and Superboy-Prime. Matriarch's reign of terror extends beyond Superman, as she has also captured significant heroes like Batman and the Flash. The storyline unfolds in Wonder Woman #33, where Matriarch's chilling power is showcased as she taunts heroes like Damian Wayne before killing him. Although Superman's death leaves the DC Universe in turmoil, the potential for time-loops or magical resets suggests that his demise may not be permanent. Tom King, the writer of Wonder Woman, has confirmed that Matriarch's story is just beginning, positioning her as a major threat in the DC rogues' gallery alongside iconic villains like Lex Luthor. The future remains uncertain for the heroes as they prepare to confront this formidable new foe.
