Meses después de la muerte de Superman a manos de Doomsday, Metrópolis y el mundo enfrentan su ausencia. Cuatro figuras emergen para reclamar su legado: Superboy, un clon adolescente creado por Lex Luthor; Steel, un ingeniero que combate el crimen con una armadura inspirada en Superman; el Erradicador, una inteligencia kryptoniana agresiva; y Cyborg Superman, que afirma ser el resucitado Hombre de Acero. Mientras el mundo debate quién es el verdadero Superman, Lois Lane investiga y descubre que Cyborg Superman es en realidad Hank Henshaw, el astronauta que culpa a Superman por su muerte. Henshaw ha sido reconstruido por Darkseid y usa la tecnología de Apokolips para abrir un Boom Tube e invadir la Tierra con Parademons. Con la ayuda de Steel, Superboy, el Erradicador y la Liga de la Justicia, Superman —revivido en secreto en su Fortaleza de la Soledad— regresa debilitado pero determinado. En la batalla final, el verdadero Superman derrota a Henshaw, con el sacrificio del Erradicador, y detiene la invasión de Darkseid. El mundo acepta el regreso del auténtico Hombre de Acero, mientras sus “reemplazos” encuentran su propio camino como héroes. Superman, junto a Lois, abraza su humanidad más que nunca.
