Superman: Zero Hour #[nn]

In a reality where Emmett Vale stole Superman’s rocket as a child, the Man of Steel confronts the villain’s twisted legacy—only to be drawn into a far greater threat. With Liri Lee’s urgent call, Superman must team up with Lois, Jimmy, and others to stop the unraveling of time itself, even as the past, present, and future begin to fracture.

In the aftermath of a tense move, Lois helps Clark settle into his new Clinton St. apartment—just as Conduit’s henchmen strike during a high-profile award ceremony. When a chilling photo of Clark, stabbed, appears on his door, the mystery deepens: the villain’s identity is finally revealed as Kenny Braverman, a name tied to a painful past.

In "The Challenge!", Steel faces off against Hazard and his cadre of villains—Shellshock, Shellgame, Flatline, Hotspot, Quake, and Split—after Hazard relocates his Black Ops to Washington, D.C. The attack unfolds at the Vietnam Memorial, where Steel narrowly survives a deadly ambush, aided unexpectedly by a vision of his past self from the war era.
