Electromagnetic Spectrum Sight: see in vastly expanded and different radiation spectra frequencies of energy. Microscopic Vision: The ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the subatomic level. He can see the traces of ionic particles. [329] Superman can see the individual strands of DNA in someone and the genetic markers of human blood. [156] He can also see the genetic makeup of New Gods. [330] Greater-Scope Villain: It's revealed that Lore was pushed into his role as God-King by a trio of malevolent witches who murdered his parents and brought him into Earth as a child (much like Mikey was). These witches are no longer active by virtue of being held captive by the US government which has used them to study magic. That sums up the Clark Kent envisioned by writer Grant Morrison and artist Rags Morales. He’s a bruiser in a homemade costume who fights hard for the ordinary men and women of Metropolis, both as a superhero and as a rookie journalist. Even though Clark slowly comes to grips with his heritage and grows into a more traditional version of Superman by the end, the creators take pains to paint him as a humble guy who just doesn’t tolerate bullies, be they criminals or extra-dimensional imps. X-Ray Vision: The ability to see through anything except lead. Since it is passive, this ability would not generate harmful radiation in the same manner as a focused projection of hard X-rays. He saw that the earth had been transformed into a single-cell organism. [331] He also determined when a force field completely covered a spherical area. [332]

Mysterious Past: Sameal was the only one of the five mages not born on Terrenos. It's implied he was born on Earth. How he developed his mage powers and got there is not explained.

[326] He can see Wonder Woman's Invisible Jet. [327] Birthright is a comic series by Image Comics written by Joshua Williamson with art provided by Andrei Bressan and colors by Adriano Lucas, not only focusing on Mikey's attempts at re-connecting with his family but also serving as a desconstruction for the typical story of the Kid Hero Trapped in Another World and destined to defeat the Big Bad and the subject of prophecies in general. Mikey's devastating defeat at Lore's hands was one of the reasons why he decided to strike up a deal with him to return home. He Who Fights Monsters: A recurring theme is that heroes who rise up to challenge Lore end up falling short either by becoming radicals themselves at best, or joining him out of despair at worse. This seems to have been the case with Lore himself after he defeated the great threat of his time. La Résistance: A very loose one located in Terrenos against Lore's rule persists even after the Five's departure. They are very battered and nowhere near as close to ousting Lore as the mages were.One day, having discovered a Brainiac drone outside of the Daily Planet, Superman learned from the robot that he had never truly fought Brainiac before, and all the earlier encounters Superman had ever had with the villain had been with one of his probes. [170] Enemy Within: Mikey has a Nevermind inhabiting his body. Its a evil spirit that serves as an extension of Lore's will, which causes pain when the host does something Lore doesn't want them to do, and when forcibly extracted from him, it's revealed to be have a very twisted physical similarity to the host. Forced Sleep: In Issue 26, Mikey is placed under magical sleep by Sameal and is taken to Scotland just so they could find a way to remove the Nevermind from his body without killing him. Priest: The infection in your grandson's mind is deep. The only way to free his mind from the evil that has allowed to take hold is with a sacrifice.

Moving to Metropolis as an adult, he began work as a reporter at the economically failing Daily Planet. Clark made his debut as Superman when he caught Lois Lane falling off of the LexCorp skyscraper. [29] One impostor, the artifact known as the Eradicator that had battled Superman in the past, had actually returned and went to Superman's tomb to try to use his body as a new vessel. Sensing Superman's soul was still lingering inside, the artifact fashioned a new body from concrete in Superman's image and placed Kal-El's body in a regeneration matrix that was bombarded with sunlight, in hopes of controlling him once he was revived. Despite this plan, the Eradicator accidentally convinced itself it really was Superman. [64] Barrier Maiden: The "war criminals" that Mikey is chasing on Earth are actually keeping the barriers between this world and Terrenos. Lore wants Mikey to kill them so he can successfully merge both worlds. With each of their deaths, the barrier spell becomes weaker by the second and Lore's presence becomes more imminent. By the time three of them are dead, the barrier spell is weak enough to allow his minions to invade Earth and prepare a full-blown invasion. Issue #20 shows us God-King Lore's true form. A tall, strong, heroic-looking man with a sword who looks just like Mikey. However, the Warworld — under the command of Brainiac 13 — arrived and absorbed the energy of Imperiex, continuing the invasion. Brainiac 13 also convinced Apokolips that Earth had betrayed their peace treaty, causing Darkseid to start a second invasion of Earth as well. [134] Superman, distraught over all the death and destruction, flew into the sun and became super-charged. Using a plan that Superman himself came up with, Superman and Earth's allies boom tubed Warworld to the beginning of time, ending the war.

Also not related to the tabletop game of the same name, nor with the sequel of Albedo: Erma Felna EDF, named Birthright. Superman reconnected with his friends on Luthor's spaceship after Lex's defeat and learned that, before he disappeared, Luthor had created multiple Doomsdays, all contained aboard his ship. [214] Upon this discorvery, the Superman family encountered the Doomslayer, a sentient Doomsday, who murdered the Eradicator when the artifact tried to subdue him. [215] The villain that had secretly been plaguing Superman was revealed to be Lisa Jennings, a woman who became the physical embodiment of Superman's depression and self-doubt through exposure to a Kryptonian Sunstone and had also received his powers. Superman disarmed her using his hope, having beaten his depression and decided to embrace his legacy. Giving signal watches to his closest allies, he formed the Supermen of America with Iron Munro, Livewire, Steel, Superboy, Super-Chief and Supergirl. This team that embodied the values of " Truth, Justice and the American way" would eventually persevere into the future as the Superman Squad. [213] Reign of Doomsday Superman's origins were heavily revised in the Superman: Secret Origin mini-series written by Geoff Johns in 2009; this made the history established by Mark Waid in his 2003 mini-series Superman: Birthright non-canon following Infinite Crisis in 2006. It would remain the definitive origin until 2011 when Flashpoint established the DCnU and Grant Morrison's Action Comics updated the story.
