Quantum's Take

Superman is a Mythic + Warrior Champion who does Physical damage. Superman is best used in PvP, Devastator CC, Killer Tank CC.

They can be obtained in The Bleed (Limited).

You should focus on the following transmutes for Superman: ATK, Physical PEN, HP.

Superman is up there with Batman as one of the most iconic DC characters. He's the first Bleed champion you can go after on a fresh server. As far as his kit goes, he's one of the most powerful single-target damage dealers in the game. When fully built, and with the right supporters, he can carry your roster in every game mode. The biggest limitation is that long-term you will need his unique legacy item and purple stars or better to realize his full potential.

Strategy Guide

By building power through his Ultimate, Superman can unleash devastating single-target attacks while reducing their Physical DEF or freezing them.

Recommended Legacy Pieces

Superman's CapeSignature

Superman's signature gear that perfectly supports his [Solar Energy] stacking mechanics. At the start of battle, Superman gradually increases Physical and Spiritual Defense, while stacking an Attack bonus before each skill cast. As the battle goes on, Superman grows stronger, fully demonstrating his power as the Man of Steel.

Promethium Claws

Grants a shield at low HP. Superman needs time for his Ultimate to build Attack bonus stacks, and the shield helps him survive long enough to reach the stacking limit, allowing him to deal devastating single-target damage.

Not-So-Huge Hammer

Increases HP, Attack, and Crit Damage. Superman's Attack bonus stacks with each Ultimate cast, and higher base Attack means a bigger boost. With the Crit Damage bonus, his single-target burst becomes even more devastating.

Razor Rib Umbrella

Increases HP and Attack. Superman's Attack bonus scales with the number of allies present, and the Razor Rib Umbrella gives him a consistent boost in battle.

Lore

On the distant planet Krypton, scientists Jor-El and Lara concluded their world would soon explode from internal pressures. However, their ruling council refused to believe them. With no time to build an adult-sized spaceship, they constructed one just large enough for their infant son, Kal-El, and sent him in suspended animation to a planet where they knew he would not only survive but have great power: Earth. The ship crashed near the farming town of Smallville and was discovered by Jonathan and Martha Kent. The Kents, unable to have children, named the baby Clark and passed him off as their own. They raised him with love and their values of truth, justice, and a better tomorrow. Later, Clark found crystals in the ship he'd arrived in that revealed his alien ancestry, but Earth always felt like home.

Clark grew up with friends Pete Ross and Lana Lang. He tried but failed to befriend the young Lex Luthor. He sometimes traveled to the future as Superboy for adventures with the Legion of Super-Heroes. He also found a small Kryptonian ship his parents had sent out before his as a test, carrying his childhood pet, the dog Krypto. Clark awakened Krypto and was overjoyed to have a pet with abilities like his own. Reaching adulthood, Clark set out for Metropolis where he debuted as Superman and took a job as a reporter in order to stay aware of imminent crises. At the Daily Planet, he was paired with the ace reporter Lois Lane. He was also reacquainted with Lex Luthor, now a corrupt billionaire technological genius who felt an immediate dislike and mistrust toward Superman.

Superman gave Lois an interview revealing his Kryptonian origins. While Luthor proclaimed that an alien couldn't be trusted, most people celebrated Superman as a hero, even more so when he helped found the Justice League. While battling the alien conqueror Brainiac, who "collected" cities from various worlds by shrinking them down and abducting them, Superman discovered he had once taken a Kryptonian city, Kandor. Superman freed Kandor from Brainiac and, while he could not enlarge it to its original size, kept the city safe in his Fortress of Solitude, a retreat in the Arctic that he made using Kryptonian technology. Another surviving Kryptonian found by Superman was Kara Zor-El, his cousin, who he trained as Supergirl. She soon became a legendary hero in her own right.

Not all relics of Krypton were welcome. Radioactive pieces of the planet itself, called Kryptonite, were toxic to Superman, with different wavelengths having different effects. Red Kryptonite temporarily mutated Superman; gold Kryptonite would render him powerless; and green Kryptonite would weaken and ultimately kill him. Luthor discovered and often used Kryptonite against Superman. But Superman emerged victorious against all challenges... except one. Not long after revealing his identity to Lois and the two of them beginning a romantic relationship, Superman battled Doomsday, a savage creature that evolved from a prehistoric Krypton. Nothing could stop Doomsday until Superman did, but injuries sustained in the battle proved fatal, and he died in Lois's arms.

After his death, several figures emerged who seemed to be Superman reincarnated. None actually were, but one, the Eradicator, was an advanced Kryptonian machine programmed to preserve Kryptonian culture. He retrieved Superman's body and revived him using Kryptonian technology called the Regeneration Matrix, though he warned this would not work twice. One of the new arrivals was dubbed Superboy by the media, and he ultimately proved to be a clone made from the combined DNA of both Superman and Luthor. Superman took the youth under his wing, finding him a home with his own parents, Jonathan and Martha, in Smallville. Taking the name Conner Kent, Superboy became a valued member of Young Justice and the Teen Titans.

With a new lease on life, Clark and Lois married and had a son, Jonathan. Jonathan inherited Superman's powers. As a boy, he set out for a trip exploring space with a Kryptonian relative. Due to encountering unexpected quantum phenomena, Jonathan returned a teenager and adopted the Superman costumed identity while his father is off-world. Now among the leaders of the Justice League, a husband and father, and the patriarch of the extended Superman Family that also includes such heroes as Steel, normal humans like Jimmy Olsen, and super-powered animals like Streaky the super-cat, Superman has gone from the last survivor of his world to a man surrounded by those he loves, with his life dedicated to protecting them and his adoptive world.
