It’s been three years since Superman made his first appearance in Metropolis. Since then, it seems a new monster shows up every week. Superman is a beloved figure and symbol of hope for all in Metropolis, but some view his blind optimism and commitment to kindness as being an outdated sentiment for the modern day. Defense magnate, Lex Luthor, stands out as the biggest skeptic to the blue boyscout. On the ground, mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent, along with his girlfriend Lois Lane and best friend Jimmy Olsen, is researching shady business dealings associated with LexCorp. Lois has uncovered some documents related to an English research laboratory called Action Labs, which she believes LexCorp is embezzling government funds to. Clark is afraid this story may be too dangerous to take on, but Lois feels Clark has been coddling her ever since telling her he’s Superman. This leads to an argument and Clark storming out of her apartment. The next day, Superman is fighting a kaiju in the middle of Metropolis when, out of nowhere, the monster wails in agony and falls dead. Superman just barely manages to move some bystanders out of the way before the kaiju crushes them. The monster was killed by Manchester Black, an antihero with telepathic powers. Later, Lex Luthor holds a press conference announcing he has partnered with the United States Department of Defense to create a new team of superheroes that he calls “The Elite.” The team is comprised of Manchester Black, Coldcast, the Hat, and Menagerie. Superman and Lois are skeptical of this team, both by their affiliation with Luthor and their affinity of using deadly force. As time goes on, some members of the public begin defending the harsh nature of The Elite. Superman fights against Manchester Black, insisting that compassion and hope is the only way to fight for truth, justice, and a better tomorrow.
