Paralleling his origin story, Superman crashes to Earth and is found by the Kents after defeating the Millennium Giants. When he wakes up, he shows his parents that he has his original powers back and puts on the classic Superman costume. Afterwards, Lex Luthor discovers his daughter has been kidnapped. After investigating the Toyman and Intergang, Superman finds that Bizarro has Lena and intends to send her to another world to be raised, just as Superman's parents did. Superman saves Lena and returns her to her father, and the readers learn the masterminds behind Bizarro's kidnapping of Lena.
