Superman: Last Son #[nn]

In "Chapter One" of *Superman: Last Son*, Superman delves into a Jor-El simulation at the Fortress, seeking answers as the world outside buzzes with routine — Perry White reprimands Jimmy Olsen over a missed photo, and Clark Kent steps in, only to be sidetracked by a mysterious ship crash. He rescues a boy who speaks Kryptonese and reveals powers beyond his years, sparking a chain of events that leads him to the Department of Metahuman Affairs and a secret transfer. With Lois by his side and his adoptive parents in mind, Superman must decide how to protect the boy — and what kind of future he might have in a world not his own.

In the quiet stillness of the Fortress, Superman faces a mystery: a young boy from an unknown ship, and a Jor-El simulation that can’t answer who he is. As Clark returns to Smallville with the boy, his parents, Lois, and the Daily Planet crew grapple with what comes next—until Lex Luthor unleashes Bizarro, setting off a chain reaction of chaos that tests both Superman’s resolve and the boy’s hidden strength. When the globe of the Daily Planet crashes toward Lois and the boy, it’s the boy who stops it—just as a new signal from his ship ignites a shocking arrival: General Zod, Ursa, and Non, who claim him as their own.

In "Chapter Three" of *Superman: Last Son*, the remnants of Krypton’s fallen elite—General Zod, Ursa, and Non—awaken within the Fortress of Solitude, where a simulated Jor-El recounts the history of the Phantom Zone and the crimes that banished them. As they seize the Phantom Zone projector, Superman rushes to protect Lois and Chris Kent, unaware that Zod’s return marks the beginning of a full-scale invasion—dozens of Kryptonian ships descending on Metropolis, unleashing a wave of enemies, including Jax-Ur and others from the past.

In "Chapter Four" of *Superman: Last Son*, Superman struggles to adapt to life in the Phantom Zone while watching Earth from afar, where Zod, Ursa, and their son Chris Kent are holding the Justice League at bay. With Mon-El—his old friend projected into the zone years ago—by his side, Superman learns the truth behind Fort Rozz, a hidden prison that became a refuge for the Kryptonian fugitives, and the dark origins of Chris’s upbringing. As the stakes rise and the line between past and present blurs, Superman must find a way to return to Earth before the Kryptonian threat consumes everything he’s fighting to protect.

In "Chapter Five" of Superman: Last Son, Superman faces a dire crisis as the Phantom Zone criminals, led by General Zod, seize control of Metropolis. With Zod threatening to kill his own son, Chris Kent, Superman must rescue him while battling the Superman Revenge Squad and the invading army. As Luthor works to reverse a warp drive and the heroes are captured, a final, desperate act of sacrifice leaves Superman grappling with loss — and the mystery of what lies beyond the zone.
