Wow!

The New 52 will see a new Cyborg Superman, no longer the human Hank Henshaw, but actually the father of Kara Zor-El!

That means the new Cyborg Superman is actually Supergirl's father!

Michael Alan Nelson said the following:


And the biggest difference in the New-52 character, and one that I hope is common knowledge by the time this comes out, is that Cyborg Superman is no longer Hank Henshaw. He's actually Zor-El, Kara's father. Readers will have to wait until they read the Villains Month issue to learn just how he became Cyborg Superman, but that is the single biggest difference between the new and pre-52 character.

I'm fine with ditching the FF homage origin, but then, I've never been all that invested in this character, anyways.

I'm sure Supergirl needs the extra villains.

Why does it seem like a large majority of Superman and his family's enemies are Alternate Supermen?

Either way, I like the new design.

It was way cooler when he was a human who got the powers of a god. Now he is yet another Kryptonian, robbing Superman and Supergirl their status as the last survivors.

Might work. The Hank Henshaw thing seemed like a stretch before. It worked ok for Reign of the Supermen, but after that I thought it got played out.

@dellamorte,
I get that feeling too. It saves me money though!
