Tom Welling (Smallville), Brandon Routh (Superman Returns), Dean Cain (Lois & Clark), and Tyler Hoechlin (Superman & Lois) joined forces at Rhode Island Comic Con, giving fans a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
But what happens when multiple Men of Steel collide? Legends are made.
A Super-Powered Reunion
As soon as the four Supermen stepped onto the stage, the energy in the room skyrocketed. Fans were on their feet, cheering for the actors who have each defined the Man of Steel in their own way.
💬 “This is insane!” one fan shouted as cameras flashed nonstop.
Seeing them together was like watching a real-life Justice League crossover—except this wasn’t fiction. This was history.

Each actor had their own unique take on playing Clark Kent and Superman, but seeing them side by side was proof of how timeless the character truly is.
🦸♂️ Tom Welling (Smallville, 2001-2011)
The longest-running Superman on TV, Welling is still a fan favorite for showing Clark’s journey before donning the cape. He shared how surreal it was to stand among his fellow Kryptonians:
“I never wore the suit, but standing next to these guys makes me feel like I did.”
🦸♂️ Brandon Routh (Superman Returns, 2006 & Crisis on Infinite Earths, 2019)
Routh, who reprised his role as Kingdom Come Superman in the Arrowverse, expressed his gratitude for playing the Man of Steel twice:
“I never expected to wear the cape again after 2006, but the love from the fans brought me back.”
🦸♂️ Dean Cain (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, 1993-1997)
Cain, one of the first to bring a charming, romantic Clark Kent to TV, joked about feeling like “the old guy” of the group but loved the camaraderie:
“I was Superman before some of you were even born!” 😂
🦸♂️ Tyler Hoechlin (Superman & Lois, 2021-Present)
The current TV Superman, Hoechlin, was humbled to be in such legendary company:
“Every Superman here paved the way for me. I’m just trying to live up to what they started.”

Inevitably, a fan asked the big question: Who would win in a fight?
Routh laughed and pointed at Welling:
“Tom’s Clark Kent never had to fight anyone, so he wins by default!”
Hoechlin grinned:
“I think we’d all agree that the real winner is Christopher Reeve. He started it all.”
The crowd erupted in applause.
