Clark Kent has been Superman for a few years now, growing supporters such as Lois Lane and enemies such as Lex Luthor. Clark has started feeling more and more like an outsider to the world, only feeling normal in his fortress of solitude and around Lois Lane. Lex Luthor is on the verge of discovering who Superman is and is willing to do whatever it takes to find out. An alien known as Brainiac has come to kill Superman and absorb his DNA, granting great power and sends the creature known as Doomsday after him. Doomsday kills Superman in an epic battle where the world would then mourn. Brainiac comes for Superman’s DNA only to find out that his body has been taken to the Fortress of Solitude. Superman is revived by a small entity known as K albeit powerless. K, who is the unknown life force of Jor-El adjusts Superman’s suit to allow him and fight Brainiac. Lex Luthor merges with Brainiac to form ‘Lexiac’ who plans on destroy Earth like he did Krypton.
