Metropolis is threatened by goons with advanced technology, and for once it's not Lex Luthor's fault. This time, it's Bruno Mannheim's Intergang, who have been given hi-tech weaponry from a man named Kanto, who's working for a mysterious benefactor. Superman fights the gang, but their new gadgets give even him trouble. The whole thing is massively frustrating for a police officer named Dan Turpin, who was hunting Intergang and resents Superman taking his job. His attempt to investigate the gang gets him caught, but he's able to get free in time to save Superman from Mannheim and allow the whole operation to be taken down. Mannheim, unwilling to face Superman or be arrested, follows Kanto through his Boom Tube to meet the ''real'' mastermind behind the whole fiasco... Darkseid.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Darkseid gets only a couple lines of dialogue, but judging by the look of Apokolips and the fact that he AnswersToTheNameOfGod, all while scaring the crap out of Mannheim by simply turning to look at him, we immediately get a sense that he's a terrifying EvilOverlord.
