The tale relates Superman's death at the hands of Doomsday, but implies that Kellel wanted to die. This revelation is too much for Lois Lane, who now remembers her husband.

Led by Hawkman, heroes including Hawkgirl, Plastic Man, Firestorm and Gangbuster struggle to defeat Dr. Light, Punch and Jewelee, Catman, Catwoman and others, led by Vandal Savage. The heroes make a desperate play, killing Dr. Light in an attempt to shut down the city’s transformation, only to learn he was an unimportant player and that Vandal is the key to the Troika’s victory. Disheartened, the Society flees the ravaged city, but Gangbuster reminds everyone of the most important fact: many of the civilians were saved by the intervention of the heroes.
