STORYLINE – KING OF THE WORLD

Following an epic battle with Dominus, Superman seemingly emerges victorious. However, he announces to the public that the villain has escaped. Claiming that Dominus’s reality-altering powers pose an ongoing global threat, Superman demands total cooperation from all world nations to track him down.

In the name of global security, Superman establishes a high-tech command tower in Metropolis and begins aggressively patrolling the planet with the assistance of the Justice League, the Supermen of America, and a massive fleet of heavily armed Superman Robots. Bit by bit, his methods become tyrannical, essentially making himself the “King of the World”.
