Lord Satanis and Syrene battle, with Satanis using the body of a copy of Superman with his invulnerability and heat vision. The previously-thought-dead Clark Kent returns to life. Superman tracks down Rip Hunter to get his help in time-traveling to the past. Lord Satanis seems to defeat Syrene, but that's when the other Superman arrives.
