Superman #45

In "null," Superman confronts a web of political manipulation when he delivers a key witness to the governor to prevent an execution, only to later intervene in a domestic violence incident. As Clark Kent, he faces escalating tension with Lois Lane’s admirer Butch Matson, whose threats force Superman to protect her. When Clark is assigned to investigate Senator Barrows’ push for war in Europe, he tracks down lobbyist Alex Greer in Washington, DC, uncovering dangerous secrets tied to the governor’s butler and a larger conspiracy.

When an alien diplomat named Stros offers Superman the sacred scarlet nectar as a token of gratitude, the gesture turns perilous—what should have been a moment of honor instead triggers a dangerous transformation. Though Superman’s invulnerability shields him from immediate harm, the nectar’s unexpected toxicity causes his body to gain an alarming amount of weight, leaving him struggling to move as Lois Lane watches in concern.

In "2ëme partie - la cure de Superman," Superman grapples with a surprisingly personal challenge: meeting a strict deadline to return to his former weight. With Lois Lane watching, he pushes himself to the limit through intense training—only to discover that sheer willpower isn’t enough, and he’ll need an otherworldly tool to finish the job.
