Superman visits the "Museum of Dead Villains," exhibit on "Superman's Day of Wrath." He reads he killed all his opponents in 3 weeks starting April 15, 1998. A man explains that Superman left Earth after killing his enemies. As he leaves he meets Lois and attempting to scan her with his x-ray vision, Superman accidentally incinerates her with heat vision and people go nuts. He finds Luthor at Lexcorp, but his things are being moved out: Superman had bankrupted him. Luthor rips off a fake face to reveal Jimmy Olsen underneath, who opens a box of green kryptonite, aiming it directly at Superman.
