Superman Vol. 2 #004, DC '87

Superman Vol. 2 #4 features the first appearance of Bloodsport, a dangerous new villain hired by Lex Luthor to kill Superman. Armed with the ability to teleport high-tech weapons directly to his hands — including Kryptonite-tipped rounds — Bloodsport cuts a devastating path through Metropolis, driving up civilian casualties before Superman can mount a response. The story adds depth to the threat through Bloodsport's fractured mental state and his tragic connection to his brother Michael, whose fate haunts him. Written and illustrated by John Byrne. A key issue for Bloodsport collectors, with the character later gaining wider recognition through his portrayal in The Suicide Squad (2021).
