His status has come to the point that DC Comics, the company that publishes his monthly titles, has developed several versions and revisions of his character and his powers over the years. Most of them have followed the same general archetype established by the original Superman, which is that of a lawful and good superhero. In the comic book industry, it is difficult to find a single character that is as iconic, as well-known, and as popular as Superman.
To understand Superboy-Prime's rise as a hero and his subsequent fall to become the most dangerous individual the universe has ever known it is necessary to first explore how he came into the DC Comics universe. However, every so often, there have been darker character versions that, unlike the good version, posed a threat to mankind. Arguably, the most dangerous of these evil versions is the one known as Superboy-Prime.
At the end of that cataclysmic series of events, Superboy-Prime, along with Earth-Prime's Lex Luthor and Kal-El, yet another alternate version of Superman, willingly confined themselves to a paradise-like dimension to save the universe. Originally, Superboy-Prime was the only superhero on Earth-Prime, one of many alternate versions of Earth that existed in the world of DC Comics. According to the storyline, all the alternate Earths had to be destroyed to preserve one.
In other words, he was intent on returning the existence of Earth-Prime, a goal he could achieve only by destroying the current Earth. In his mind, the Earth was deeply flawed and had to be destroyed by all means. However, trapped in an isolated realm with nothing but memories of his old world to keep him company, his mind became warped. With prompting from the Lex Luthor trapped with him, Superboy-Prime eventually broke free and resolved to correct the mistake he made.
He saw villains and heroes but somehow he could not distinguish between the two, and, as a result, he treated both sides as enemies. In his skewed black-and-white view of morality, Superboy-Prime considered himself as the only true hero in the current universe. However, as the Superboy he felt an intense degree of status anxiety over not having earned the name Superman. His goal of restoring Earth-Prime ties into this feeling, since by erasing the current universe, he also erases the various other versions of Superman in it. Such an event would eventually leave him as the only Superman in the universe. He hoped to alleviate his status anxiety by eliminating any version of himself that he subconsciously sees as being better than he is.
