WARNING: The following contains major spoilers for "Invaders From the Negative Zone" by Jason Aaron, Dale Keown, Carlos Magno, Scott Hanna, Edgar Delgado, and VC's Cory Petit, from Heroes Reborn #2, on sale now.
Heroes Reborn has introduced the Marvel Universe to a new age, wherein the Avengers have been replaced by the Squadron Supreme. The Squadron's heroes are unapologetic pastiches of DC's Justice League, with their leader Hyperion being a clear stand-in for Superman. DC's Man of Steel has always been a bastion of everything good in the world, and Hyperion struggles to be seen in a similar light. However, while Hyperion possesses a power that is at least equal to the Last Son of Krypton, he has inherent flaws that make him far more dangerous.
Hyperion has already shown off just what he is capable of by singlehandedly tackling the threat of Doctor Doom infused with the power of the Juggernaut in the first issue of Heroes Reborn. He puts an exclamation point on his power level in the second issue, when he destroys the cosmically powered Galactus in one shot by flying through his head. By any measure, Hyperion is extremely powerful, with his strength only exceeded by his ruthlessness.
No matter how off guard Galactus was at the moment of Hyperion's attack, the fact that he was brought down with such little effort is almost unbelievable. When Superman encountered the Devourer of Worlds in 1999's Superman/Fantastic Four by Dan Jurgens and Art Thibert, the Man of Steel hardly stood a chance and was transformed into the Herald of the demi-god. This makes Hyperion's one-hit victory in Heroes Reborn even more impressive and gives substantial weight to the argument that the leader of the Squadron Supreme is in fact more powerful than DC's greatest hero.
While having a champion of Earth as powerful as Hyperion should be a comforting thought, the brutality with which he wields that power is anything but. The self-proclaimed Super-Sentinel of Liberty is equally ruthless in permanently taking out the Hulk, who seems more confused than threatening. Even worse is the fact that he subscribes to a twisted and out-of-control perversion of patriotism that is reminiscent of Wyatt Russell's John Walker in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
No matter what actions Hyperion takes, he is able to justify them by reassuring himself that what he is doing is not only American, but godly as well. If Hyperion's own ideology is something that he is willing to reframe when it suits him, then it isn't much of an ideology at all, but rather an elaborate series of excuses that he has at the ready.
Still, he is the perfect example of an ideology rather than raw power making someone dangerous, and for how deeply Hyperion's reserves of both of those things run, there is no calculating the amount of damage and loss of life he will cause by the conclusion of Heroes Reborn.
