Supercomic #188
In "La vida y...la muerte de Brainiac 5," Supermán faces a rare moral crossroads when extraterrestres seek his help, offering a startling reward: granting his parents superpowers so they can finally share his secret identity. Written by Martin Pasko and illustrated by Alex Saviuk with inks by Joe Giella, this 1980 issue from Editorial Novaro explores the personal stakes of heroism, with a cover by Dick Giordano that captures the gravity of the moment.
In "Crisis de identidad," Supermán, still young and grappling with his dual life, faces a pivotal moment when he helps a group of alien refugees. As a gesture of gratitude, the extraterrestres offer to grant superpowers to his parents—Marta Kent and Jonás Kent—so they can finally stand by his side, but the decision comes with unforeseen consequences. With the Profesor Armitage and Mr. Reynolds watching closely, and the mysterious los Xynth stirring in the shadows, Supermán must weigh the cost of revealing his secret against the price of keeping it.
