In "Power," Superman faces a new kind of threat not from outer space, but from the streets of Metropolis, where distrust has turned a former convict named Sam Benjamin into Blackrock, wielding a weaponized identity with deadly intent. Written by Mark Verheiden and illustrated with sharp precision by Ed Benes—whose dynamic cover captures the tension—this 2005 issue explores the weight of power and perception in a city that once hailed Superman as a god.
