Superman Taschenbuch #56

When the mysterious "X"-Element—fundamental to all matter on Earth—begins to destabilize, alien emissaries arrive with a solution: they'll save the planet, but only in exchange for rare resources… and a seemingly ordinary human who holds a secret worth far more than gold. With Superman, Batman, and a host of DC’s mightiest heroes racing to protect Earth, the fate of the planet hangs on a single, unsuspecting life.

In "2.Kapitel: Der Teufelshandel," the world celebrates the Schatzmeister as heroes after they seemingly save Earth by releasing a modified "X"-element into the atmosphere—only to awaken a terrifying transformation, turning a third of humanity into War-Kohn creatures. With Superman, Batman, and a host of heroes like Grüne Leuchte, Aquaman, and Wundergirl now facing an enemy born from their own salvation, the line between savior and destroyer blurs.

In "3.Kapitel" from Superman Taschenbuch #56, the Justice League uncovers the shocking truth behind the War-Kohn's obsession with Arthur Curry: the alien carries the genetic code of all life, a key that could reverse the alien transformations plaguing Earth. With the fate of countless beings hanging in the balance, the League must race to understand the full scope of this power before it's exploited.
