However, it is then revealed that Darkseid only wishes to have Superman attack Earth, so that the military forces would be united to destroy him. Darkseid is supposedly benevolent and wants only to bring order to the universe. His origin is the same, except Kal-El landed on Apokolips and was raised by Darkseid. Granny puts him into a chair that places memories into his mind. Kal-El awakens, and Lashina urges him to go to Granny Goodness for "therapy". He is then attacked by Superman, who eventually destroys him with Heat Vision.

However, the people suddenly turn into Jimmy Olsen, Ma Kent, Pa Kent and Lois. On Apokolips, Kal-El flies over and is attacked by the people of the planet. No one knows where Superman has gone, not even Supergirl or Ma and Pa Kent.

It's then revealed that both Superman and Clark are robots controlled by Supergirl. Darkseid calls Superman his son Kal-El and tells him that as a reward for defeating the alien world, he'll get his own planet to rule: Earth.īack in Metropolis, Superman flies over the city while Lois Lane and Clark Kent watch from the ground. It's revealed that this soldier is Superman. The soldier returns to Darkseid onboard his flagship and removes his mask. All attempts to stop him are futile and the king of the planet, seeing that his forces have been defeated, hands over his scepter: his symbol of power. At first it seems that they have won, as the army has stopped its advance, but then a lone soldier bursts into the ceiling of the palace throne room. Out on an unnamed planet, a race of aliens desperately fights an army of Apokoliptian soldiers.
