Spoilers for Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #6 by DC ComicsTo take on Pariah and the Great Darkness, Superman has just taken on a new ultimate form, as the hero's powers and look change to take on the biggest threat to the Multiverse. In Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #6 by DC Comics, Superman is freed from the energy-consuming prison that Pariah has put him in, seemingly using the Multiverse's energy to take on one of his most spectacular forms ever.
While Superman's usual powers and abilities already make him one of the strongest heroes in the DC Universe, the iconic character has received several power upgrades since debuting in the comics more than 80 years ago. From Superman merging with the Justice League to create a powerful combination hero to his Superman Prime form that was an unmatched force across the Multiverse, the Man of Steel is no stranger to transforming. However, in Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #6 by DC Comics, Superman gets a new ultimate form that gives an all-new version of the hero who might be strong enough to save the DC Universe.
In Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #6 by Joshua Williamson, Daniel Sampere, Alejandro Sanchez, and Tom Napolitano from DC Comics, The Flash and Green Lantern successfully free Batman from his dark pocket dimension created by Pariah to harness crisis energy. However, when they find Superman in his own dimension, the heroes are surprised to learn that Kal-El is fully aware he's in a trap, revealing that after trying and failing to escape for "years," he studied the "dream world" and became lucid. As a result, Superman transforms into his new ultimate form as he somehow uses crisis energy to change his powers and appearance.
Superman's New Ultimate Form Isn't Fully Explained
DC's Superman emerges from Pariah's energy-stealing constructs with the Justice League, as the hero surprisingly retains his new ultimate form. The Man of Steel has somehow harnessed the energy from the constructed world to become something new. What that means for Superman's strength and powers remains to be seen, but as Pariah unleashes the "True Darkness" in the form of controlled supervillains, he remains one of the best weapons to save the DC Universe and the entire Multiverse.
With the Justice League back in action and Superman somehow taking on a new ultimate form thanks to manipulating the energy he was being contained with, stopping Pariah and his Dark Army seems more likely than ever before. Seeing Superman's new form and what he's capable of should make for an exciting new version of the hero - even if the form is temporary. Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #6 by DC Comics is in stores now.
