Superman Géant #22
In "Vainqueur de Superman," a weakened Superman seeks to reclaim his lost powers by traveling back in time to confront Lord Satanis at the Fortress of Solitude—only to be blocked by the very villain he’s trying to defeat. With his duplicate still imprisoned by Syrene in the past and his invulnerability gone, Superman must face the brutal Jackhammer in the present, taking a brutal hit that sends him to the ground. Written by Mike W. Barr and illustrated by Irv Novick, with inks by John Calnan and colors by Gene D'Angelo, this 1983 issue captures a rare moment of vulnerability for the Man of Steel. The cover, by Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano, perfectly encapsulates the struggle.
In a desperate bid to reclaim his lost powers, Superman journeys to the Fortress of Solitude to alter the past and confront Lord Satanis—only to find his path blocked. With his strength diminished and his invulnerability gone, he must face the relentless Jackhammer in the present, while his duplicate remains trapped in time under Syrene’s control.
In "Violence sur Métropolis," Superman grapples with the aftermath of a brutal assault by the relentless Jackhammer, aided by Jimmy Olsen as he struggles to regain his strength. With the support of Metropolis and the memory of his past—echoed through flashbacks of Superboy and Jonathan Kent—Clark Kent must confront his fears to stand against the villain once more.
