When Krypton’s computer tyrant Brainiac arrives on Earth seeking the Eradicator—a shape-shifting Kryptonian AI—he blocks out the sun, weakening Superman and enabling Lex Luthor to orchestrate the Man of Steel’s apparent death at the hands of the monster Doomsday. While Metropolis falls under Brainiac’s control and Lois Lane exposes Luthor’s lies, a resurrected Superman dons a black recovery suit and, with the self-sacrificing Eradicator’s help, destroys the sun-blocking ShadowCaster, defeats Brainiac, and exposes Luthor’s conspiracy, restoring his powers and reaffirming his love for Lois.
