Plot

Kal-El's rocket is diverted from Earth to Apokolips, and Superman is raised by Darkseid. Superman becomes an eager participant in the destruction of New Genesis and a willing disciple of Darkseid. During this comic he wears black and red armor similar to that of Darkseid's son Orion. This armor has a unique Superman logo on it. It is two thunder bolt-shaped S's that form another thunder bolt-shaped S (reminiscent of the logo of the Schutzstaffel - i.e. the SS).

gollark: If they're orbiting *below* the surface, they could experience mornings and afternoons in seconds.
gollark: There are only 24 hours per day on the surface.
gollark: What if they're just in a very low orbit?
gollark: 1lann is *my* alt and I'm fully authorised to have one.
