Ubermensch

Übermensch, also known as Overman, is the name of several supervillains who have appeared in American comic books published by DC Comics as a counterpart of Superman.

First version

The first version was created by Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, Vince Argondezzi, Michael Bair and Brian Murray, and first appeared in Young All-Stars #1 (June 1987). Übermensch was a Nazi super-agent of Axis Amerika.

Second version

The second version (also known as Shepherd) was created by Joe Kelly and Duncan Rouleau, and first appeared in JLA #80 (June 2003). Übermensch was a member of Axis Amerika and the Society.

Third version

A third version (known as Reichsmark) was created by Geoff Johns, Alex Ross, and Dale Eaglesham, and first appeared in Justice Society of America (vol. 3) #2 (March 2007). A member of the Fourth Reich who fights against the Justice Society of America, he is a metahuman who has indestructible metal skin and turns anyone he touches into statues. Alongside Captain Nazi and Baroness Blitzkrieg, Reichsmark attacks many of the JSA's members' descendants before being killed by Damage.

Alternative versions of Ubermensch

Overgirl is a counterpart of Supergirl and Superwoman. Created by Grant Morrison and appearing in the Final Crisis and The Multiversity: Mastermen stories, both characters are inhabitants of Earth-10 where the Nazis achieved world domination. The first version is a Kryptonian clone of Overman who fights alongside her "cousin" and the Monitors but dies. The second version is Lena Kant, the vein wife of Overman who has maintained eternal youth for decades before being killed by the Freedom Fighters.

Ubermensch in other media

Two versions of Overgirl appear in media set in the Arrowverse, portrayed by Melissa Benoist. Each version is a doppelgänger of Kara Zor-El.

• One version (also known as Red Daughter, Snowbird, and Linda Lee) appears in Supergirl. This version was created after Supergirl was exposed to black kryptonite. She ends up in Siberia and secretly trained by the Soviet military in Kaznia before being taken in and manipulated by Lex Luthor. After learning of Luthor's villainy, Red Daughter ultimately sacrifices herself to save Kara and help defeat Luthor.
• Another version is an Earth-X doppelgänger who appears in Freedom Fighters: The Ray and the "Crisis on Earth-X" crossover. She is the wife of the Führer Dark Arrow, and a leading member of the New Reichsmen.
