In "Auge um Auge," a mysterious regeneration matrix at the Fortress of Solitude awakens a new body believed to be the real Kal-El—prompting a tense clash between Steel and the Last Son of Krypton over who truly embodies Superman's legacy. As Mongul draws nearer to Earth, the line between identity and destiny blurs. Written by Roger Stern and Uwe Anton, with art by Jackson Guice and inks by Denis Rodier, this 1995 issue features a striking cover by Ed Hannigan and Kerry Gammill, rendered in Guice’s distinctive inks.

In a moment of crisis, the Fortress of Solitude’s regeneration matrix awakens a new form—this one seemingly the true Kal-El, Superman. With Steel and the Last Son of Krypton locked in combat over who holds the mantle, and Mongul’s fleet drawing ever closer, the question isn’t just who is strongest—but who truly deserves to be called the hero.
