“Man and Superman”

In "Man and Superman," the JLA confronts a surreal mystery when each hero meets a civilian version of themselves—identical in appearance, demeanor, and life story—only to discover the real identities are not so easily shed. With the heroes' secret lives suddenly laid bare, they must grapple with the weight of ordinary existence, even as a mysterious homeless man with god-like abilities forces them to confront the limits of their power. Written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Mike S. Miller, with inks by Armando Durruthy and colors by John Kalisz and Heroic Age, the issue’s cover by Bryan Hitch and Paul Neary captures the eerie, intimate tension of the moment.

All six JLAers with secret identities come face to face with people who are apparently them in their civilian IDs. When J'onn J'onzz verifies that they are in fact who they believe they are, the civilians return to their lives while the heroes deal with a homeless man with god-like powers. Though the heroes easily handle the situation, their other identities are not as easily adjusting to life without super-powers.
