When Superman learns the truth from his Legion allies, he’s drawn into a deeper mystery as Earth-Man, the League’s leader, reveals he’s imprisoned other Legionnaires and absorbed their powers. With the trail leading to an alien holding camp, Superman and his team set out to find Brainiac 5 before it’s too late.

In the 31st century, Earth-Man and the Justice League confront a shocking return: Superman has reappeared, leading a mysterious team that assaults an alien holding camp in search of Brainiac 5.

When Chameleon Girl appears, the team realizes too late it’s Earth-Man in disguise, driven by resentment over being rejected by the Legion. The confrontation escalates as Earth-Man, wielding the stolen powers of the entire Legion, overwhelms a powerless Superman—forcing the fight into the void of Earth’s orbit.
