Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!
Equipped with his new armor, Superman saves a group of criminals from Blue Earthers that had recently acquired Kryptonian superpowers. With help from the Super-Family, he defeats the BEs.

Later, with Steel's help, Superman tries to recharge his powers, but it will take him some time to get back to full strength. He also wonders if he has seen Norah Stone before and inadvertently discover her real identity: she is Janan al Ghul from the Empire of Shadows and she has kidnapped Otho-Ra.
Superman has been left comatose after his infection with Kryptonite. He has been taken to Supercorp for recovery but it's a slow process. Lois is devastated but tries to keep a strong face for her husband.
Gallery
Miraculously, Superman awakens from his coma but he is not 100% healed. Mercy advises him to continue his healing, but Superman insists on tracking down Marilyn Moonlight, the next of Graft's victims.
Gallery
To do that, Superman arms himself with one of Lex's warsuits, with a few modifications, of course. Superman and Marilyn team up against Graft, who uses his Kryptonite laser to teleport them into an unknown location.
Gallery
Superman has been teleported to the Wild West, where he becomes an outlaw and comes into conflict with Nighthawk and CInnamon.
Superman has joined forces with Bloodwynd and Etrigan and ventured deep into an alternate universe ruled by the al Ghul family to save Otho-Ra, who has been captured by Janan al Ghul.
Gallery
They discover that Janan is preparing her army to invade Universe-0. While his allies fight Janan's army, Superman attacks the al Ghul fortress directly to save Otho, who has been brainwashed by Janan to perceive Superman as Mongul. Fotunately, Superman brings Otho back to her senses but Janan begins her invasion of Universe-0.
Gallery
Superman and his allies return home, just in time for the Superman Family to mount a defense against the Empire of Shadows. The heroes defeat the invaders, while Etrigan consumes Janan's soul, but not before Janan promises her return.
@jimohkolawol10: It'd be nice to know which moon Bizarro broke, really. From my research, most of Jupiter's moons are tiny, but we also have ones like Ganymede, which is bigger than Mercury and Pluto.
@andromeda1001: I was guessing same thing but base on how big the left over explosion dust and color of the moon and looking at pass by Jupiter red dot according to the map of jupiter the one facing red dot is Lo so..it's can't be lo or niether callisto as superman and bizzaro fight was only near the red dot coming from mars side but am certain it's one of those galilean moons either europa or ganymede to how close and big the explosion dust compared to Mars in the scan.
@jimohkolawol10: I think we just hit the jackpot with the writer, I believe. It's apparently going to be written by Jason Aaron, who sometimes answers battle forum stuff. If someone asks him about this showing, it's possible he might clarify the circumstances involving the feat.
Metropolis is attacked by Bizarro, who is in the mood for a fight. Superman's attempts for a peaceful resolution fail and the fight takes both combatants across the Solar System. Bizarro paralyzes Superman with a blast of cold vision and escapes back to Metropolis, moments before Superman escapes from his prison.
Gallery
Using magical items stolen from Sorcerers' World, Bizarro starts up a ritual that causes a huge storm all over Metropolis. Superman again attempts to be the voice of reason, but Bizarro says that his home was lost, probably thanks to yet another multiversal Crisis the heroes of Earth-0 were involved. His ritual is his attempt to find his home.
Gallery
Bizarro ignores Superman's pleas for compassion and continues his spell. Superman barely rescues a trio of newscasters when the spell begins to consume Bizarro. The Man of Steel attempts to save Bizarro but is too late. The last thing he sees from Bizarro is his devastated face, broken with sadness.
Gallery
Superman and Lois attempt to discover what exactly was Bizarro trying to accomplish with his spell. Unfortunately, the spell begins taking effect, and in a few moments, Superman, Lois and the people of Metropolis transform into Bizarros.
Having already spent 4 days in the Wild West, Superman and Marilyn Moonlight work together to track down an outlaw that has robbed a caravan and killed its occupants. They're also searching for technology that could help them return to the present.
Gallery
The culprit is Terra-Man, who has traveled to the Wild West to commit crimes without fear of getting caught. Superman challenges him to a typical Wild West showdown and easily wins when his powers are fully replenished. Terra-Man attempts to kill bystanders, but Marilyn stops him.
Gallery
Using Terra-Man's equipment, Superman and Marilyn return to the present and go their separate ways. After performing some heroic deeds, Superman returns to Supercorp, only to be ambushed by the Lex Luthor Revenge Squad, who want Superman to be their newest member.
Thanks to Bizarro's spell, everyone in Metropolis, including Superman, have been turned into Bizarros. Superman himself has been briefly possessed by the spirit of the original Bizarro, but resists the possession long enough to save as many as he can, all the while facing opposition and backlash from the Bizarro citizens along the way, while fighting off Bizarro's attempts to control him.
Gallery
Over the next few days, Metropolis has been quarantined and the heroes of Earth work hard to prevent Bizarro's spell from spreading. Superman insists on remaining on Metropolis and tells his friends to stay away and avoid infection. He takes a moment to observe Lois, who has gathered a group of Bizarro citizens in Centennial Park to burn a pile of books that spread an anti-Bizarro agenda.
Gallery
Bizarro tortures Superman with a vision in which he takes control of Superman's body and uses it to murder everyone he comes across, but Superman ignores the vision and refuses to throw away his ideals and beliefs, even when the Bizarro citizens reject him.
Superman has been captured by the Lex Luthor Revenge Squad and its leader, Graft, uses a shard of synthetic red Kryptonite to inflict Superman with uncontrollable anger. Graft wants the enraged Superman to kill Lex, who reminds Graft that Superman's anger is directed not specifically at Lex, but at anyone who has ever wronged him: the Squad inclued. Superman easily defeats the Squad, including the Chained, until Lex stabs him with a shard of green Kryptonite, theorizing that the mutual effects of green and red cancel each other out.
To reverse Bizarro's spell and liberate humanity, Superman has no choice but to ask help from the only sane person on Earth: Bizarro Joker. Superman uses Kryptonian meditation techniques to venture deep inside his own mind and find the original Bizarro, who has been miniaturized to the size of a splinter. Even so, he remains as powerful as ever and a battle across Superman's inner mindscape begins.
Gallery
While Bizarro Joker attempts to keep Superman's unconscious body safe from the army of Bizarros in the real world, Superman continues his fight with Bizarro inside his mind. Throughout their countless batles, however, Bizarro has already killed Superman multiple times and even briefly gains control over Superman's body in the waking world.
Gallery
Bizarro Joker pleads to Superman to keep fighting and not only does Superman regain control of his body, he also gains access to the magic Bizarro had taken from the Sorcerer's World. He uses the magic to reverse Bizarro's spell and bring everyone back to normal, even if that means turning Joker back into his original villainous self.
Gallery
The crisis is over and humanity is back to normal, but the Joker has escaped and a small fragment of Bizarro's essence still endures within Superman's mind. He constantly whispers to Superman, tempting him to give in to his inner darkness, but Superman refuses to listen, for he is Superman, the opposite of Bizarro.
The Lex Luthor Revenge Squad has released a poisonous cloud of Kryptonite that will kill everyone in Metropolis and Superman is too weakened to stop it. After knocking Graft out, Lex goes on to confront Lillian, his own mother and the Squad's last remaining member, while Superman does his best to stop the Kryptonite plague within the safety of the Supercorp tower.
Gallery
Having already studied the properties of Kryptonite, Superman uses his scientific knowledge and accepts support from the Supercorp staff and even the Parasite to nullify the Kryptonite while Lena, Lex's daughter, remotely deactivates the armors of both his father and his grandmother. Superman saves them before they hit the ground and the city is saved once again. Just this once, the people of Metropolis cheer for Lex.
Superman's attempt for a peaceful day is foiled when Brainiac invades Metropolis with an army of Czarnians.
Gallery
The Super-Family defends the city, while Lois and Perry help civillians evacuate.
Gallery
Unfortunately, Brainiac's army starts capturing anyone with superpowers, including members of the Super-Family, and Lex, already aware of Brainiac's plan, warns Superman about it.
Gallery
Superman is briefly captured by the Czarnian leader, General Chacal, is about to be teleported into Brainiac's ship, but Lex sacrifices himself so that Superman can escape and Brainiac is forced to retreat before he is attacked by Superman's other allies. With his family and friends captured, Superman is left with no choice but to find Lobo.
With his family, friends and even enemies captured by Brainiac, Superman travels to Coast City, searching for Lobo, and once he finds him, Superman dispenses with the pleasantries and angrily demands to know where Brainiac is.
Gallery
After a brief fight, Superman and Lobo agree to put their differences aside to find Brainiac. To do that, they must bypass the United Planets' blockade (read Green Lantern for more details), and the scientists from Supercorp believe that the best way to do that is by providing Superman and Lobo with small enough vehicles that can avoid detection: space motorcycles.
During their journey, Superman and Lobo come to a mutual understanding over starting their own families and realizes they're no longer the last members of their people. Unfortunately, their brief moment of peace is interrupted by General Chacal and his forces.
