In "Adversaries!", Lex Luthor’s presidential ambitions take a sudden turn when he’s abducted by the mysterious Adversary. Superman intervenes, confronting the enigmatic foe while Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and a concerned Hope keep watch.

In "The American Dream," Superman finds himself caught between two worlds when he interrupts Lex Luthor’s political announcement in Smallville, revealing a surprising twist that upends the presidential race.

In a Metropolis still reeling from a catastrophic flood caused by Tempest’s powers, Superman teams up with Young Justice to restore order—just as Aquaman and Lex Luthor appear to reach a fragile peace.

In "Soul of the City!", Superman finds himself sidelined as Lex Luthor ascends to the presidency, shifting Metropolis’s attention from the Man of Steel to his new leader. With the city’s focus diverted, a hidden force seizes the moment to begin draining the soul of the city itself.

In the heart of Metropolis, as President-elect Lex Luthor celebrates his victory, a sudden surge of chaos erupts when Luna’s pet from the Phantom Zone, Lunatick, unleashes destructive energy across the city.

As the stakes rise, Lex Luthor gains unexpected leverage, and the aftermath leaves Talia returning to her old role, carrying the weight of her father’s secrets.

In a twist on the usual chaos, Bizarro attempts to enlist Jimmy Olsen as his Gravedigger Lad, only for Supergirl to swoop in and intervene.
