Superman #668
In "The Third Kryptonian Part One: The Hunt," Superman teams up with Batman to track down a mysterious third Kryptonian on Earth, alerted by the Auctioneer. When Chris Kent escapes from school, Superman intercepts him and brings him to the Batcave, where Batman equips him with a red sun projector watch to suppress his powers during the day. Meanwhile, Amalek arrives on Earth, drawn by the Auctioneer’s whispers, and begins observing the growing presence of Kryptonians—Supergirl, Chris, and Superman—planning to strike when they’re all gathered. Written by Kurt Busiek and illustrated by Rick Leonardi, with Dan Green on inks and Pete Pantazis handling colors, the issue’s cover by Renato Guedes and Jose Wilson Magalhaes captures the tension of this unfolding mystery.

He decides to wait until all are found, to slay them all.
