Amidst a civil war on the planet Krypton, Kryptonian King Jor-El sends his son, Kal-El, to Earth in order to protect him from Jor-El's brother, Kata-Zor, as well as the destruction of Krypton. Kal-El then goes through the typical Superman fare, being adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, being named Clark, pursuing a career in journalism, and falling in love with Lois Lane. Despite his affection, Lois would be focused on investigating and exposing a CIA agent who is obsessed with UFOs: Lex Luthor. After Superman refuses to assist Lex Luthor in his plans of global conquest, Lex leads Ty-Zor and his Kryptonian cronies to Earth. This leads to an action-packed story that involves giant robots, Lex getting Kryptonian powers, Superman's death and resurrection, and more.
