He is not from here. He is Earth’s new protector. He has adopted humanity as his children. But the truth is – he doesn’t understand them. He is Hyperion, and he’s exploding out of the pages of Squadron Supreme and into HYPERION #1 this March! Written by New York Times Bestselling Author Chuck Wendig (Star Wars: Aftermath) with art by Nik Virella (1872), be there as the man without a world takes on the worst the humanity has to offer, but also discovers what makes them great.

“Hyperion is a man who lost his universe. He doesn’t belong anywhere. And as a result he lost himself and hasn’t yet found who he really is,” says Chuck Wendig in an interview with Marvel.com. “So he adopts America and its people as his children. But he doesn’t understand them, and this is about Hyperion going out into the country to find out who these people are. And, by proxy, who he really is, too.”

But corruption lives in the heartland of America. And Hyperion will root out the worst of it. Through the long nest of roads and highways and small strange towns – Hyperion travels America, posing as one of us. Helping people. Exploring. All in pursuit of the answer to that one question – what does it mean to be human?

Can he save these people from themselves? He has adopted humanity – but will humanity adopt him back? Find out this March as he soars solo into comic shops with HYPERION #1!

Normally I'm fine with characters that are inspired by others, but I draw the line at Squadron Supreme. They're just blatant ripoffs.

@stormphoenix: I had the same feeling when before I picked up Avengers 34.1 or whichever had the spotlight on him, and I was hooked. This isn´t the same book, but I guess it could be the same. From what I picked up in that run of the Avengers, he´s just superman, but... interesting? I guess that´s that.

Marvel has been doing good art lately (not like I'm reading, still refusing till this SJW propaganda is gone)

Superman's story's have been mad weak recently and this does really seem like a superman story, Superman seems so out of touch with the people and Alien recently and I really like the more human side of his story's.

@the_stegman: Have to not read Mark Gruenwald's original Squadron Supreme? Ripoff or not, it's a great and under appreciated story. Don't let them being JL analogs turn you off.

It's amazing to me how many people don't realize Hyperion is SUPPOSED to be a parody/"rip off" of Superman.

I liked Hyperion when Hyperion wrote him but know it he has the streak of evil that all Hyperions seem to have.

This is sounds great! I really like how this story line is previewed in the interview. He does have the same abilities as Superman, but his need to understand and protect Americans like they are his children is a different twist. I have a feeling he will have a lot of challenges and cross paths with many villains and have many misunderstanding battles heroes.

I also love the Black Panther art. I hope they team up like Batman and Superman.

I must say that I didn't have this on my radar at all since nothing concerning Squadron Supreme has cached my interest but this does look pretty good. That can't be denied.

I also imagine that they guy with the crowbar will have a bad time. Unless Hyperion jobs of course to stay undercover.

Really looking forward to this one, have been reading Squadron Supreme and I love it. Art looks great here and so does the premise, now to wait for the Nighthawk solo.
