Resurrection Man
for Resurrection Man in DCU Superman: Metropolis Week One
Suggested by matthewfenner
In his first week in Metropolis, young reporter Clark Kent steps into the chaotic pulse of the Daily Planet, juggling deadlines and disguises as he secretly becomes the city's newest protector—Superman. Still learning the limits of his power and the weight of his moral compass, Clark struggles to balance truth and justice in both his worlds. But beneath the shining skyline, Metropolis is rotting from within. Crime boss Bruno Manheim, the ruthless leader of Intergang, rules the underworld through fear, violence, and corruption that reaches into the city’s highest offices. When Clark’s investigation into a string of brutal murders leads him directly to Manheim’s empire, the boy from Smallville finds himself caught between exposing the truth as a journalist and stopping a killer as a god. As Superman begins to dismantle Intergang’s criminal network, Manheim retaliates with a reign of terror—bombings, assassinations, and public executions meant to send a message: Metropolis belongs to him. The conflict spirals into a bloody urban war, testing Superman’s restraint and resolve as the people he vowed to protect become collateral damage. Torn between his humanity and his near-limitless power, Clark must confront not only Manheim but the darker side of himself—the part that hungers to end evil permanently. In a city drowning in corruption, this first week will define what kind of Superman the world will come to fear… or believe in.
