Superman: Secret Origin #6

In "The End," the final chapter of Geoff Johns and Gary Frank’s acclaimed Superman: Secret Origin, Clark Kent’s journey toward embracing his destiny reaches a breaking point. As General Lane reveals the truth about Superman’s alien origins, Lex Luthor’s dark experiment culminates in the transformation of John Corben into Metallo, who turns on the military and attacks the city. With Lois Lane’s courage and Jimmy Olsen’s quick thinking, Superman faces his greatest challenge yet—defending Metropolis not just from a mechanical foe, but from the very people he’s sworn to protect. The cover by Gary Frank captures the moment’s intensity, rendering a striking image of Superman at the height of his struggle.
