Superman - La courbe du temps #[nn]

In a story from *Superman - La courbe du temps* (1980), Superman, bound by a promise to President Richard M. Nixon not to cross temporal boundaries, is forced to break his word when a desperate call from the distant future demands his aid. Transported through a malfunctioning Legion time bubble, he awakens in the year 101,970 to find himself aged a hundred thousand years—trapped in a future where the Time-Trapper has sealed his way home, and the Multiple-Men, the Superman Gang, and the echoes of his past stand as the only signs of a world he no longer recognizes.

In "La retraite," Superman finds himself trapped in a temporal labyrinth orchestrated by the Time-Trapper, unable to return to his own time and forced to journey ever forward into the distant future. In the year 122,470, he discovers a world where superpowers are outlawed—but when he witnesses a life hanging in the balance, he chooses to defy the law, setting off a chain of consequences that challenge the very foundation of this future society.

In "La seconde chance," Superman finds himself caught in a time loop that forces him to relive his life across a desolate future Earth, where he must rebuild a world long abandoned. As he journeys through cycles of renewal and repetition, the echoes of his past—Jor-El, Lara, and even Lex Luthor—seem to whisper from the shadows, while the enigmatic le Piégeur du Temps watches from the edges of time.
