Darkseid and Luthor's alliance destroyed, Superman returns to Rafi, Lois and Orion. He is followed by Darkseid, who surprisingly defers to the being now revealed to be called El. Darkseid retreats to use the Boom Tube to attack New Krypton and claim it for New Apokolips, but with the help of the three Supermen, Orion and Izaya (who had been in the form of Rafi's dog Isa and whom Rafi calls his grandfather), Superman sends Darkseid back to New Apokolips and pulls the Boom Tube inside-out so that New Genesis, New Krypton and New Apokolips can all share a divided planet.
