Having been exiled for plotting to overthrow Krypton’s Council, they now seek to conquer Earth, but Superman uses cunning to turn their ambition against them.

In "The Menace from the Stars!", Superman returns to Metropolis after a failed attempt to destroy a Kryptonite-laced asteroid, only to wake up with no memory of who he is. Dressed in the suit found in his cape pocket, he makes his way to the Daily Planet, where Lois Lane and Perry White help him piece together his identity—though he’s not sure he believes them. When a chance encounter with a bank robbery confirms his powers, he begins to wonder if he’s truly Clark Kent… or something more.
