Hyper-Man's story was similar to that of Superman's - rocketed from the dying planet Zoron, he landed on the planet Oceania and was adopted by the King family, who named him Chester King.
History
Developing super-powers, he began a crime fighting career as Hyper-Boy, and eventually became Hyper-Man.
Superman discovered that Hyper-Man was going to die from Zoronite poisoning, and sabotaged his career by removing his powers, so that he could marry his girlfriend, Lydia Long, and live out his remaining time in happiness.

Notes
- This version of Hyper-Man, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths event and later restored following the rebirth of the infinite Multiverse during the Dark Crisis of 2022–2023. Even though other versions of the character may have appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
- Hyper-Man looks just like Superman.
