Cerberus (named after Hades' three-headed, dragon-tailed watchdog) is a Superman villain.

Superman first encountered Cerberus after it launched a series of attack on LexCorp subsidiaries on behalf of the rebel forces of Tattamalia, Superman soon found himself facing a cyborg sent by Cerberus. When this first cyborg was easily subdued, Cerberus sent two others, Rorc and Belcher, to terrorize Lexcorp. Superman tracked those two to a Metropolis warehouse and stopped them, but his attempts to question them were frustrated when Cerberus rendered them catatonic via remote control.

Cerberus sent two more cyborgs, Blockhouse II and Jolt II, to abduct Lois Lane in the hopes of luring him into a trap. When Superman rescued Lois Lane and once again proved too much for its two cyborgs, Cerberus enlisted the aid of Metallo, now with a new and improved robot body.

Cerberus was hoping to lure Superman into a more elaborate trap within its headquarters. Superman, however, found the hideaway and discovered that Cerberus was a single hulking figure, possessing a vast collection of living heads which it could switch at will. Cerberus' personality changed each time that it changed its head. When it attached a particularly psychotic head, it attacked Superman with reckless disregard for the safety of the other heads; in the battle, the base was destroyed and perhaps Cerberus as well, leaving Superman to only guess at the origins and motives of this mysterious enemy.
