When a strange package arrives at the Daily Planet bearing a decoder ring from his childhood and a desperate plea—“Save Me!”—Superman is drawn into a mystery that reaches far beyond Metropolis.

When Jack hesitates to fight after a defeat, the sudden threat of Gizmo holding a football arena full of fans hostage forces him to confront his doubts. In "Here Comes Trouble!
