Dreadnaught

Bursting onto the scene in the pages of Superman #19 in 1988, Dreadnaught is a Copper Age creation of the legendary John Byrne, born into one of DC's most iconic corners of the universe. With only a handful of catalogued appearances spread across roughly fourteen years — including turns in Adventures of Superman and the crossover Superman & Savage Dragon: Chicago — this is a rare, elusive figure who shares the page with the Man of Steel himself, alongside Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and the enigmatic Psi-Phon. One of those appearances carries key-issue status, making Dreadnaught a genuine needle-in-a-haystack find for the dedicated Superman completist who loves unearthing the hidden gems of the Byrne era.
