"For the Man Who Has Everything" is a comic book story by writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons, first published in Superman Annual #11 (1985). It contains the first appearance of the Black Mercy, a magical, extraterrestrial, plant-like organism which, upon symbiotically attaching itself to its victims, incapacitates them while causing them to hallucinate living out their greatest fantasy.
Nominated for the 1986 Kirby Award for Best Single Issue, "For the Man Who Has Everything" is widely regarded as one of the best Superman stories of all time.[1][2][3][4][5] As such, it has been adapted for television, most notably the episode of the same name of the animated TV series Justice League Unlimited. It was more loosely adapted into an episode of The CW's live-action Supergirl TV series titled "For the Girl Who Has Everything", and served as inspirations for the episode of Syfy live-action Krypton TV series titled "Mercy" and for two episodes of the second season of Adult Swim's animated My Adventures with Superman.
