“Who Is the Hero True? [Reign of the Supermen, Part 9]”

In "Who Is the Hero True? [Reign of the Supermen, Part 9]," the Fortress of Solitude's regeneration matrix awakens a new figure claiming to be the real Kal-El, thrusting Steel and the Last Son of Krypton into a clash that questions identity and legacy. As Mongul's threat looms ever closer, the fate of Earth hangs in the balance. Written by Roger Stern and illustrated by Jackson Guice, with inks by Denis Rodier and colors by Glenn Whitmore, the issue's cover by Ed Hannigan and Kerry Gammill captures the tension of a fractured heroism.
