Superman--born on a planet
which has long since died--has been raised by adoptive
parents on the Kent farm in Kansas. The young boy Kal-El is
renamed Clark Kent, and though he has grown up among humans,
he is not one of them. Under Earth's yellow sun, he can do
two things humans can only dream of, but to co-exist with
them he must live a dual life as mild, unassuming Clark
Kent, secretly transforming into the Man of Steel when the
world cries out for him. But now, the world's crises have
gone unheeded for five long years since Superman's
mysterious disappearance. Without him, crime has risen in
the city of Metropolis and beyond; that's not even counting
the future destructive acts of Lex Luthor, who has been
sprung from prison with the specific intent of using
Superman's technological secrets for his own personal gain
and glory. Lois Lane, star reporter for the Daily Planet and
the love of Superman's life, has moved on since Superman
left without a word. She has even won a Pulitzer Prize for
her essay, "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman." Lois has
other issues to contend with--she is now engaged to the
editor's nephew and has a young son to look after. But for
Superman, the long search for his place in the universe ends
back at the Kent farm, among the only family he has ever
known. His destiny lies in Metropolis, where one look in
Lois's eyes tell him that this place, among the flawed but
ultimately good people of Earth, is his true home. And with
Lex's plan coming to fruition mere hours after his return,
the world will never need Superman more than it does now.
