History
The Supermen of America were a team of young Metahumans gathered by Outburst after the shooting death of singer Junior K-D from the boy band Crossfire. Outburst and his family had been saved from death at Doomsday's hands by Superman. The young naive meta was willing to accept Lex Luthor's funding for a team of superheroes to protect the city in Superman's absence. Although Luthor volunteered money, Outburst is tasked with recruiting the members.
Outburst first recruits his girlfriend White Lotus, a young meta trained by the Warlords of Okaara, then he gathers Brahma, Loser, Pyrogen, and Psilencer. They were salaried heroes but they were determined to protect the city from villains emboldened by news of Superman's apparent death.
After the destruction of New Krypton, Superman engaged in a months-long walk across the U.S. In that time, he came to recruits several allies into a new group named that was named the Supermen of America.

Television
- In Superman & Lois, the Supermen of America appeared in the setting of the CW live-action television series in the Arrowverse. They were humans in the Smallville area that were exposed to X-Kryptonite that gave them the abilities of superpowered Kryptonians. Several of them were taken in by the U.S. military for study where their superpowers led to them being trained as government operatives. They were formed into a team known as the Supermen of America and tasked with missions to secure the United States of America's government interests. Lieutenant General Mitch Anderson of the Department of Defense (D.O.D.) came to take charge of the program after Sam Lane's retirement from active duty. Anderson confronted Superman about his rescue of a North Korean nuclear submarine.
