In "The Doomed Batwoman," Star-Man tracks down a mysterious belt once bought by Batwoman, a device that can neutralize superpowers in others—though its use leaves the wearer dangerously weakened. With time running short and the belt’s power tempting, the stakes rise as Batwoman’s choice could shift the balance of power in ways no one saw coming.
In a twist of fate and manipulation, Lex Luthor uses a timescope to glimpse the future—and sees that Jimmy Olsen will one day become Superman’s trusted ally. Determined to alter that destiny, he reaches back in time to befriend Jimmy before he even joins the Daily Planet, planting seeds of doubt about the Man of Steel.
