Reign of the Supermen Page #5

---

At your service,

Madam President.

Time to get you out of here.

We're still reeling from

the latest alien attack,

and the devastating loss

of the Justice League.

President Dale will

speak at a memorial

in Centennial Park

to honor the fallen.

Alongside the man

whose heroic actions

have proven to us all

that he truly is

Superman reborn.

And let me just say,

it feels good to have him back.

Couldn't find the remote?

That is not Superman.

We had a real opportunity here!

A real opportunity,

and you blew it!

Come along, son.

Lex, is...

Hey, I did what you told me to do.

Everything I'm capable of doing.

And you still lost.

I gave you every

advantage Superman had,

and more.

And I appreciate...

Wait, more?

Wait here.

I remember this place.

There you are.

Dr. Donovan?

What happened to you?

You father is a...

Hard man.

My father?

Do you mean Superman?

I don't work for Super...

Oh, no.

I thought he would've

told you. I, uh...

I didn't mean to...

Well, look who's talking.

Again!

Mr. Luthor, please!

What's going on?

It's all right, Dabney.

Tell him.

What difference

could it make now?

- I don't think I...

- Tell him!

The DNA, your DNA,

- its...

- Superman's.

Yes, but also...

I told you I gave you more.

All of Superman's strength, plus

all the Luthor intellect.

Supposedly.

He just needs guidance.

Please! We got so much

closer with this one

than any of the others.

You're right, Dabney.

The current model really is

leaps and bounds

ahead of his brothers.

I don't know what I was thinking.

Let's go.

And Dabney,

you're fired.

No! No!

Still can't keep his mouth shut.

If you're through indulging

in this emotional nonsense,

we have work to do,

Superman.

Yes, master.

It was him.

Well, half of him, anyway.

Was he with anyone else?

Only her.

Terri Henshaw.

He was pretty out of it.

Stood there half the night

talkin' to the air.

Looked tormented.

'Course, that's not

unusual around here.

It is for Superman.

It's about time you showed up.

What the...

Yeah, you shouldn't leave

your bathroom window open.

Anyone could get in here.

So, I got a lead at the cemetery

that I think we should...

John?

You know that

I know you're Steel, right?

And I'm literally the

worst at secret identities.

I mean,

if you couldn't fool me...

Superman saved my life once.

Now that he's gone,

I owe it to him

to fill the void.

Neat!

What did you find

at the cemetery?

Terri Henshaw? The astronaut?

She was on the Excalibur, right?

Yup. Can you access the S.T.A.R.

Labs' mainframe from here?

If the cyborg's

telling the truth,

that he really is Superman,

then why would he

go to Terri Henshaw's grave?
