In "Menace!", a figure eerily resembling Superman emerges with powers drawn from the alien threats he’s recently defeated—fire, freezing, and invisibility—taking drastic steps to eliminate the dangers plaguing Metropolis, even threatening Billy McCoy’s life. But as Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and the rest of the Daily Planet crew scramble to uncover the truth, the line between protector and imposter begins to blur.

In a moment of crisis, Supergirl arrives just in time to save Billy McCoy, drawing the attention of a creature that bears Superman’s face. As the fight unfolds, Lois Lane’s desperate cry pulls the real Superman back from the void, where he realizes the being is a product of alien nanites from Jazuur—engineered by a long-forgotten encounter with the Collector of Worlds. With Earth at risk, Superman must confront the source of the threat before the planet’s order is rewritten by forces beyond comprehension.
