Question on Cyborg Superman Appearance 0

[Valor Comic Services]

Hey guys, so I had a question on cyborg superman 1st appearance and im wondering which would be the key to get?

 

you have Adventures of Superman 466 - 1st Full Hank Henshaw, then you have Adventures of Superman 500 that notes as 1st Steel & Superboy but mention of Cyborg Superman and lastly Superman 78 - other sites has this noting as the 1st full appearance of Cyborg Superman but it and AOS 500 was released the same day (chicken or the egg) 

 

just looking for thoughts & feedback, thank you!

Superman 78 was released at the dame time as Adventures 501 (as well as Action 687 and Man of Steel 22). Adventures 500 came out a couple of weeks earlier.

Adventures 500 dedicated a few pages at the end to each of the brief introductions of the 4 replacement Supermen as a lead-in to the restarted main Superman titles. John Henry Irons and the clone were completely new characters. Henshaw and the Eradicator were existing characters that took new forms.

Adventures 466 featured the first appearance of Henshaw and the other 3 members of the shuttle crew, their encounter with radiation, and the (at least apparent) deaths of all but Sue Terri.

Adventures 468 featured the reappearance of Henshaw as his consciousness was shown to have the ability to inhabit and control electronics and machinery. He eventually inhabited Superman's matrix chamber in orbit and used it to create a craft to depart into space.

Ultimately, Adventures of Superman 466 is the one.

I sold one a few years back - I got CGC to have a look at it, and they did in fact note 1st full Hank Henshaw (Becomes Cyborg Superman) on the label.

#466 is the one.

I have no advice here but wanted to weigh in Cyborg Superman is one of my favourite characters. I think he's underrated in DC. The recent Green Lanterns run where he gets into the power battery was great.

would that make it similar to saying ASM 298 1st Eddie Brock (later becomes Venom) (AOS 466) vs ASM 300 (1st full Venom)/ AOS 500 (1st Full Cyborg Superman)?

No. Eddie Brock did not exist and never appeared before becoming Venom and AoS 500 is not at all like ASM 300 (okay, they're both oversized anniversary issues, but the content is completely different).
