Superman: Grounded #2

In "Grounded, Part Five," Superman journeys through the heartland, from Des Moines to Kansas, where Lois Lane is digging into allegations that a local chemical plant is poisoning the environment. When the plant explodes, Superman rushes in to contain the fire and stabilize the facility, only to find himself caught between the truth and the workers’ desperate plea to keep it running for the sake of their livelihoods—leading to a rift with Lois that tests their trust and resolve.

In "Grounded, Part Six," Superman walks through Lincoln, Nebraska, where a sudden storm unleashes both a flood and a tornado—unusual forces he soon learns are tied to a mysterious woman. With Wonder Woman arriving to help, and the future Superman Squad offering a warning from the Fortress of Solidarity, Superman must navigate a crisis that tests his resolve.

In "Grounded, Part Seven," Superman walks through Boulder, Colorado, where he helps Super-Chief apprehend a group of criminals—only to be met with a town draped in Kryptonian attire and a voice blurting Kryptonian facts at lightning speed. Tracking it down, he finds Flash wearing a mysterious Kryptonian headband that’s scrambling his mind, and after removing it, the two heroes share a quiet moment over dessert to talk about legacy and what it means to be a hero.

In "Grounded Part Eight," Superman walks through Utah, where he rescues archaeologist Terri Chung from a near-miss accident and follows her to her threatened dig site. There, he reconnects with Batman, who shares a reflective moment recalling their first mission in Bhutran before they became heroes—then surprises him with a heartfelt pep talk and a generous gesture: he’s bought the dig site to ensure its continuation.

In "Grounded, Part Nine," Superman races from Provo to Las Vegas after picking up a distress signal from Jimmy Olsen, only to face a dangerously amplified Livewire whose powers have spiraled out of control. With help from Jimmy, the resourceful Dr. Serling Roquette, and the grounded Iron Munro, Superman must piece together a solution before her chaos spreads further—especially when a forgotten electrical containment suit might be the key to stopping her.
