Relax, Lex. Applecore may have been illegal,

but it was completely under the radar.

See that it stays that way.

Scorch Earth if you have to.

LexCorp was never there.

Look, I know who you are.

Why can't you just tell me?

Lois, I care about you

more than anyone else on Earth.

To reveal my secret identity

would compromise your safety.

Please. My safety was compromised

the moment I met you.

How many times

have you had to rescue me?

Rhetorical.

I haven't told you my identity for the

same reason we haven't gone public...

...with our relationship,

why we come here to be alone.

Well, try reading a gossip column.

Practically all of Metropolis

thinks we're dating anyway.

You're clinging to keep one last part

of you separate from us...

...and the only reason I can fathom

is that for an alien...

...you've developed a very human,

very male fear of commitment.

We've been together for six months.

It'd be nice if I could start calling you

something other than Superman.

He also goes by Kal-El.

- Shut up.

Well, that was some first fight.

Be nice if it was our last.

Maybe you're right. Maybe it is time

you got to know the real me.

Kal-El.

- This isn't a good time.

You are needed in Metropolis.

It is a matter of terrific urgency.

I have isolated a match

via interstellar records...

...from your father's archives.

The subject in question

was biologically engineered...

...to be the ultimate soldier.

Precise, clinical, unstoppable.

But its creators came to realize...

...that it could not distinguish

between friend and foe.

Thus, this doomsday machine lives to

extinguish any and all life forms...

...because it must.

We need to clear this area.

Fire!

You're dropping me off here?

Doomsday's at Hob's End

on the East Side.

Exactly.

Jimmy, meet me on the roof,

and don't forget your camera.

Uh, Lois, shouldn't we wait

for a pilot?

I'm an Air Force brat, remember?

I was flying these things

when you were still in training pants.

Now, hang on.

Aah!

There.

Jimmy, camera on the action.

Oh, man, he can jump!

Aah!

Thanks, Superman.

Get out of here. Now.

Superman, don't...

It's why I'm here.

I've never seen Superman

take such a pounding.

Not that he can't dish it.

For those just

joining us, Metropolis is the scene...

...of widespread destruction

this morning...

...as Superman attempts to overpower

a creature responsible...

...for a string of grisly murders.

But as of right now, it's uncertain

which way the tide will turn.

Lois, do you think Superman's o...?

Camera on the action, Jimmy.

Superman.

Is everyone?

You did it, Superman.

We're safe, all of us.

Good. That's...
