Terra-Man (real name Toby Manning) is a fictional character and supervillain who appears in Superman stories published by DC Comics. Terra-Man first appeared in March 1972 in Superman (volume 1) #249.

The Pre-1985 Terra-Man is noted for using futuristic weapons modeled after those used in the American Old West, as well as riding a winged horse named Nova. It was revealed, in Superman #249, that Manning had in fact been born during the Old West era. After killing Toby's father Jess, an alien known to the universe as the Currency-Criminal took young Toby as his ward, raising him from childhood and teaching him the use of alien weapons, which he created in imitation of the 19th century weapons Toby was familiar with. After Manning had grown to adulthood and learned what he could, he killed the alien and began a career as an interstellar outlaw, "Terra-Man" (a name chosen to refer to Manning's Earthly origins). Eventually his travels took him to Earth, where he became an enemy of Superman. Throughout his pre-Crisis career, Terra-Man usually returned to Earth only in efforts to outfight or outwit Superman; otherwise he remained at large in outer space, committing crimes to carry the legend of the Wild West outlaw across the stars. Terra-Man spoke in an almost buffoonishly stereotypical "cowboy" drawl with liberal use of Old West slang and colloquialisms, lending a humorous air to his deadly activities.

The Post-Crisis version of the Terra-Man was a businessman whose conscience began to bother him about the damage he was causing to the Earth's environment. He decided to save Earth and attacked enterprises which were dangerous to the environment. Though this version has a different origin, his name (Tobias Manning) remains the same, and he still retains a western theme, including a thick accent and the cowboy-esque way that he handles his guns. His weapons now focused mainly on turning the environment against his opponents (i.e.: plants and the earth element). He also had a robotic army dressed in western garb, called the Terra-Men.

Like his modus operandi, his new background is ecological, and because of that he calls himself the Terra-Man. The weapons and equipment he has developed enable him to use a pair of jet packs mounted on his armor for flight, create a teleportation vortex resembling a small tornado, and guns which can cause shockwaves and earthquakes, or fire specially tailored flora at a target. He has engineered numerous forms of plant life specialized for his needs, including one that can actively drain other lifeforms of energy derived from sunlight, meaning that it drained power from Superman when in contact with him, and ones that can liquify organic material. Both of these plants have been shown to be possibly used as ammunition for his firearms. He's also developed a process to purportedly quickly and cleanly remove all dangerous poisons from toxic sites and renew nutrients in soil.

Terra Man (Tobias Manning) has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
