"Superman" soared into theaters this weekend, snapping up an estimated $122 million in domestic ticket sales and launching a new era of DC superhero flicks.

Another little-known denizen of the Man of Steel’s vast universe is making his silver screen debut in director James Gunn's " Superman " blockbuster. His name? Metamorpho, a heroic shape-shifting misfit, AKA the Element Man or the Fab Freak of 1001 Changes.

Superman is the most powerful superhero in DC Comics, able to go toe to toe with its most powerful villains, like Darkseid and Brainiac. That’s why it’s surprising that his nemesis is Lex Luthor, a man without any superpowers.
