In a dramatic turn, Superman’s sudden death sends shockwaves through the world, with President Nixon announcing the news on television. As his final wish is carried out, Superman’s vital organs are distributed to select individuals—each receiving a piece of the Man of Steel’s power, including Batman, who initially refuses. But when Lex Luthor steals the organs and sells them to a gangster, chaos ensues. With Batman and Robin racing to stop the criminal scheme, the fate of these stolen pieces of Superman’s legacy hangs in the balance.
When Supergirl volunteers for a mysterious experiment, her invulnerability is unexpectedly transferred to Toni Vale for 24 hours—leaving her vulnerable while every injury he suffers is felt by her. With Vince Martell caught in the crossfire, the line between hero and target blurs in a high-stakes test of trust and resilience.
