Then there is Xanadoth, who has been lying in wait looking to marshal the forces of chaos and order into a single force of evil. She's just been searching for the vessel to make it happen.
Finally, there is a grudge that Superman never knew about: the Synmar Utopica has trained since a very young age to stop the potential threat posed by a Kryptonian living under a yellow sun. Their entire purpose has been to be the perfect guard against the Man of Steel, to stop him from potentially taking over the universe. What ensues is a brawl unlike any Clark Kent has encountered before, taking him through the Phantom Zone and back to the Synmar's home planet.
This volume collects Superman #20-28, closing the book on Brian Michael Bendis and Ivan Reis's acclaimed Superman run, showing us the Metropolis Marvel tussling with a legendary foe while also creating new legends.
