There are plenty of reasons to be excited about the upcoming Superman film from director James Gunn, which will feature multiple big villains. This includes Lex Luthor and several others, like the mysterious Hammer of Boravia. As per recent revelations, this character is a strong rival for the Man of Steel. But most details about this secretive villain are still under wraps, barring his immense power. This has led fans to wonder who is stronger between the two.
Is Hammer of Boravia stronger than Superman?
Perhaps Hammer of Borvia is not explicitly stronger than Superman, but reports indicate that he will match the Man of Steel when it comes to strength. With the help of other villains, Hammer of Boravia should easily overpower Superman. The mysterious villain also has the ability to fly and use heat vision, which makes him on par with Superman in every way. So, it seems Superman will not be able to beat this villain with raw strength.
However, the identity of Hammer of Boravia remains a mystery. In a recent Step into Reading book released by DC in partnership with Random House Children’s Books, multiple characters from the upcoming movie and their powers were listed. This included Hammer of Boravia. The line about this villain read, “The source of his powers remains a mystery, but the Hammer of Boravia is a villain who is as strong as Superman!”
There is also confirmation about Ultraman in the upcoming movie. This has fans speculating whether Ultraman and Hammer of Boravia are the same person. Some fans speculated that it could also be Milly Alcock’s Supergirl, though the latter is more far-fetched.
Interestingly, Hammer of Boravia is a character who has never appeared in the comics. This makes it more difficult to compare his strength with Superman’s. Perhaps, most of the mysterious things about this character will only resolve after the James Gunn film is released.
