In the year 2965, Superman of 2965—Klar Ken T5477, descendant of the original—steps into a role shaped by legacy and duty. Deputized by the Federation of Planets with unlimited power, he’s called to action when a notorious foe, Muto, is spotted robbing a Neptunian bank. With the help of the enigmatic computer PW-5598 and the mysterious Lyra 3916, Klar races to stop the criminal, unaware that the sea’s lingering kryptonite residue still threatens his people—even as he fights to uphold justice across the stars.
