"Return to Krypton" part 3 of 4! Fugitives of Krypton Clark and Lois adopt the identity of Kryptonian heroes Nightwing and Flamebird to survive. But in whatever guise, the now-powerless Kal-El may not prevail in the confrontation with General Zod's personal assassins, Kru-El and Faora.

Over the course of his career, Superman has managed to trail, trace and track down countless fearsome foes and bring them to justice. But this story is about a guy who thinks the Man of Steel is after him and is sure that Superman is ruining his life at every turn! Is the hapless con imagining things? Or is our hero truly his "Nemesis"?

A new era begins with a science-fiction focus on the "strange visitor from another planet!" In the remains of the Fortress of Solitude, there's something very wrongÉand very deadly. When Superman and Lois go to investigate, they find themselves face to face with bizarre creatures from the early days of Krypton.

An all-out battle ensues between Superman and Tolos the Wizard, who is using the inhabitants of his bottle city to break the Man of Tomorrow. And one of Tolos' pawns is a Daxamite whose powers rival Superman's! Meanwhile, Perry White struggles to tell his bad news to his family.

Part two of the four-part "City of the Future!" Superman and Ashbury accompany Scorn as he enters the bottle city of Kandor for a family reunion with his sister and his father, the Kandorian Regent! Kandor's politics are, as always, in disarray, but a savior has stepped forward: one who believes he can enlarge the city and liberate the population! But is he too good to be true?
