Superman – Last Son of Krypton | Comics

Superman finds a child within a rocket that landed on Metropolis, whom he thinks is a Kryptonian and wants to protect from Lex Luthor.

In Fortress of Solitude, Superman confronts the A.I. likeness of his late father Jor-El after some time and he asks him if he enjoys living among humans while reminding that he is not one of them though. Later at Daily Planet, he sees Perry White giving photographer Jimmy Olsen for missing out a shot from a recent rampage of Gorilla Grodd.

Clark steps in to defend his buddy getting roasted for losing a shot to their rival paper Daily Star and Perry then sends the boy to get him some coffee. As he was lecturing Kent about how things were back in the days, Clark sees a strange meteor heading towards Metropolis in distant and immediately changes into Superman to stop that.

He rushed at it, as fast as he could, then caught it in midair and eventually stopped it from causing widespread damage. Turns out, it was actually a space vessel carrying a young boy who is taken to Metropolis lab by Department of Metahuman Affairs.

Big Blue talks to director Sarge Steel about where the boy might be from but then he starts speaking Kryptonian language and displaying impressive physical feat. Taking an interest on the child, he goes to Lois Lane to talk about it and even hinted at his willingness of adopting the kid out of responsibility he feels for a descendant of his home planet.

Next morning, they moved the boy to another location and a pissed off Superman shows up at Washington, D.C., demanding to know his whereabouts to Sarge Steel who clearly ignored to inform him. So, he breaks the kid out from transfer route and showed up to his parents' doorsteps at Smallville asking how they adopted him back then.

Kal-El unsuccessfully tries to figure out who this boy is at Fortress of Solitude but it was suggested that some records may not have survived. Lois is still uneasy about adoption as she wonders whether or not they would be a suitable parent to a Kryptonian child. A press conference is called to publicly leave the child in the care of Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

Lex Luthor has been keeping tabs on the whole development, sends out Bizarro to fetch him this "Super-Boy" and his backward brute starts rampaging through Metropolis. Their clash threw a school bus on top of the boy and though shaken if fear, he remains unscratched. Lois decides to give him a proper Earth name and chooses Christopher.

Meanwhile, Kryptonian super criminals General Zod, Ursa and Non comes out of Phantom Zone prison in three meteor pods at Fortress of Solitude, looking for the boy. Zod activates a holographic image of Jor-El via Sunstone crystal to learn his own legacy on Krypton only to react in anger knowing that they are considered as criminals.

Lois and Clark bring Chris Kent to workplace to introduce him to their coworkers but then Daily Planet is attacked. As he was about to change into Man of Steel, Non tackles him out of window and Zod joining shortly to beat him up some more. Ursa goes after Lois to get the child from her, who turns out to be her own son named Lor-Zod.

Soon, dozens of space pods starts raining down from sky with exiled Kryptonians of Phantom Zone and a scientist among them, Jax-Ur sends Superman into the Zone. Within that inter-dimensional realm, he is greeted by a wandering Mon-El, who then helped Big Blue fight his way out of ultimate purgatory to leave for Earth.

Upon returning, he discovers Metropolis is in ruins by Zod and his Kryptonian followers with many of his allies being taken captive. So, Kal-El approaches his greatest enemy Lex Luthor and his newly reformed Superman Revenge Squad consisting Bizarro, Metallo and Parasite to fight back these Kryptonian outlaws who has taken over the world.

Superman – Ending Battle | Comics

It's the super villain Master Jailer who comes attacking everyone of the building but he is not here for Pete Ross, all he wants is Superman. As the Man of Steel shows up, Neutron also appears and Superman successfully takes both down, before they implicit any serious harm. Next up, Automic Skull attacks on the Kent farm on Smallville, Kansas but Superman saved the day in time.

Soon, all the people related to Clark Kent starts falling under attack by various super criminals. After Lois is attacked at the Daily Planet by Evil Star along with others, it seems like everyone who is somehow linked to Clark Kent are placed in Steelworks. Superman went on to investigate about the mystery behind all these weird happenings.

When he met Lex Luthor in person about these incidents, they both were under attack by The Elite and they reveal that Manchester Black, the super powered psychic and former nemesis of Superman is orchestrating the whole attack schemes on his friends, which Cyborg Superman confirms later. After a while, a remotely mind-controlled Bizarro, Master Jailer, Metallo, Mongul and Silver Banshee face Superman in the ending battle.
