After Bendis' run on Superman, and the events of Future State, Superman and Action Comics were taken over by Phillip Kennedy Johnson. Beginning under the DC Infinite Frontier initiative, Johnson's aim was to focus on the SUPER side of Superman, thrusting him into a bold new era of cosmic adventures.An old name with a new owner consolidates power on Warworld as Superman finishes training his young son Jon Kent to take over his duties. Clark Kent has never felt weaker, after exposure to a "Breach" in space has left his powers fading. Unfortunately, early retirement isn't an option, for Superman has learned that among the long-suffering slaves of Warworld there exists descendants of a Kryptonian off-shoot race called the Phaelosians. When one of their number arrives on Earth, Superman resolves to put together a rescue mission aimed at liberating Warworld from the tyranny of Mongul. After an international intervention by Superman turns the world against him, he can't call on the Justice League to help, so he builds a new team capable of accompanying him to Warworld. With the Authority backing him up, Superman is confident he will triumph once more over Mongul. But this is a new Mongul, and he has made plans of his own...Johnson wrote the main Superman title for issues 29-32 before the book ended to make way for Tom Taylor launching a new Superman book starring Jon Kent as the Superman of Earth in his dad's absence. Johnson was also the writer of Action Comics, up until December 2023, which followed the adventures of Clark Kent and the Authority out in space. Aside from a brief two-part crossover between Superman #29 and Action Comics #1029 which covers Clark and Jon dealing with the Breach, the two series were separate and neither was required reading for the other.Starting with this as part of the Infinite Frontier relaunch, a backup comic was added to both this series and PKJ's issues of the Superman title that spotlighted other DC characters. These including, so far, Midnighter by Becky Cloonan and Michael Conrad, Tales of Metropolis by Sean Lewis, Martian Manhunter by Shawn Aldridge, Home Again by Dan Jurgens, and Head Like A Whole by Leah Williams.

Applied Phlebotinum: Genesis, a mysterious substance that comes from Warworld. It fueled the Phaelosians spaceship, and Atlantean mineralogists identify the fragment brought to Earth to be older than their tests can recognize. It also restores Superman's powers after his defeat at Mongul's hands, granting him a measure of his full strength even without yellow sunlight.

Villainous Lineage The title of Mongul works like this, passed from parent to offspring after the offspring slays their parent. On a world where Batman accepted Ra's offer to be his heir, Bruce has spawned several offspring with Talia who are just as evil and committed to conquest as their parents. One of those is Norah Stone, the leader of Blue Earth.

Villain Team-Up: Lex wants to do this with Metallo as a counter to Superman gathering the Superfamily together to revamp Metropolis, but Metallo bears a grudge against Lex for his current state. Initially Lex and Manchester Black were also secretly working together, with Black passing on information about the Authority's activities. Kryl recruits Chaytil at the end of Red Moon to help him with his plans to strike against the United Planets. Cyborg Superman forces Metallo to serve him after kidnapping Tracy and hooking her up to a torture device to ensure Metallo's compliance.

HeatVision
 Superman (Phillip Kennedy Johnson) (Comic Book) / int_16c3599d
comment
Zigzagged with Jon. Jon's unique physiology as a natural-born human-Kryptonian hybrid means that he's capable of doing things Clark can't. Clark is amazed when Jon uses his Heat Vision at the molecular level to detonate water molecules in the air with concussive force. Jon is also the only Kryptonian with the ability to tune his heat vision to the precise frequency necessary to harm the Shadowbreed. Clark believes that Jon will one day become The Paragon that all other heroes will be measured against in terms of his deeds and kindness. However, his inexperience and having the title of Superman foisted on him so suddenly with Clark's departure to Warworld makes him come under heavy criticism. Many feel he isn't ready for the role, seeing him as too naive and not being able to measure up to Clark's legacy.

Superman gives one to Mongul in #1042 as the conclusion of a Patrick Stewart Speech, saying that Mongul's view of "lesser races" is much more of a weakness than his own view that there's no such thing, because it means he's always underestimating them.

Religion of Evil
 Superman (Phillip Kennedy Johnson) (Comic Book) / int_187bddc1
comment
Religion of Evil: Faith on Warworld seems to revolve around slavery and worshipping chains, which every slave must wear. The chains are used to symbolized combat victories in Warworld's arenas, and Mongul as ruler of Warworld is referred to as "He Who Holds All Chains". Bloodpriests, the leaders of Warworld religion, celebrate when the last member of an enslaved species on Warworld dies, pointing to such unfortunates as a symbol of the Warzoons dominance. Warzoons believe that a warrior carries the souls of those they slay, which are enslaved to the Warzoon and must lend their killer extra strength. He who has never killed is thus weak in their eyes because he has only himself to rely on. The words of those who have killed others are increased in worth by the number of kills, a sentiment expressed in the Warzoon saying "So Say The Dead". Monguls who die at the hands of their sons are believed to ascend to godhood, and rule over the Warzoon afterlife, the Orchard of the Dead.

Papa Wolf: Threatening children is the fastest way to give Superman a Heroic Second Wind. Although he struggles against the corruptive Mind Rape of the Shadowbreed, Clark instantly breaks free when he hears Jon getting pummeled by it and calling for his dad to help. He instantly prepares to square off against the New Gods of Apokolips and New Genesis when they threaten to take Osul-Ra away.

Apologetic Attacker: Thao-La asks Superman to forgive her before she attacks him and his family. She doesn't want to attack them, but she's terrified of Mongul punishing her loved ones if she refuses to do his will. Metallo is genuinely remorseful towards a guard whom he's forced to kill after the guard stumbles upon his breakout from Stryker's Island, especially since said guard was one of the few staff members who addressed Corben by name and treated him kindly. Corben goes out of his way to assure his victim that he didn't do anything to deserve this fate besides being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Metallo's clearly furious at Luthor for putting him in that position after the deed is done.

Staged Populist Uprising: Norah doesn’t actually care about the anti-alien xenophobia gripping Metropolis. Her intent is to take advantage of the tension to turn everyone against the Superfamily and clear the way for her true master: her father, an alternate universe Batman and his Empire of Shadows.

This Means War!

comment
This Means War!: Atlantis makes it clear that any attempt by anyone else to take the Genesis fragment away from them will be considered an act of war, and refuses to let ships cross their waters after Amanda Waller tries to do just that. America likewise makes it clear that it won't accept Atlantis keeping the fragment or closing off major shipping routes. The two countries prepare for conflict, until Superman swoops in and takes the Genesis fragment for himself, pissing off both countries, turning the entire world against him, and forcing Superman to build a new team after the Justice League kicks him off the roster in order to appease the world governments upset with him.

Bittersweet Ending: Mostly on the sweet side for the Warworld storyline: Warworld is fully liberated from Mongul, but not without casualties. Apollo and Lightray are freed from Mongul's hold, but OMAC sacrificed himself to save Lightray and Leonath sacrifices himself to power the star forge, restoring Superman's power. Kryl-Ux has claimed Mongul's power and the tribes that refuse to follow Superman's ideals and is vowing bloody vengeance towards the United Planets and its Premier.

Humans Through Alien Eyes: In "Panic at the Parade", Osul and Otho get into a lot of trouble due to their misunderstandings about Earth culture and being too Literal-Minded. They're unimpressed by a glacier-shaped float and decide to flash freeze it to make it more like the actual Arctic. They also fail to understand what mascots are and harass a man in a cartoony Superman costume, resulting in security coming after them. The twins mistake the guards for "berserkers" like those on Warworld and get lost while giving the guards the slip. At the end of the story, Bibbo introduces them to hot dogs, and both kids love the "salted meat tubes" they're given.

Moses Archetype: Superman himself. Byla shows Superman a room in Necropolis full of "source myths", myths that tend to appear in cultures across the Multiverse. One of these myths is the story of a family that saves a child's life by sending him away in a little ship. The child is discovered by another tribe, becomes a great hero, one day finds his own people again, and frees them from slavery. Byla even says that story should feel familiar to Superman given his background and quest to free his people, the Phaelosians, from their enslavement at Mongul's hands.

Hope Springs Eternal: After they fail to defeat Mongul and his champions, Action Comics #1038 gives a very bleak showcase of Superman and the Authority's situation. Superman is thrown into the slave pens with the Phaelosians he came to save. Lightray is dead, her body displayed as a trophy showcasing Mongul's victory. Enchantress is either dead or imprisoned by Mother. Manchester Black and Apollo are turned over to the Champions to be their playthings. OMAC and Steel II are forced to wear chains and fight in the gladiator arenas. Only Midnighter is still free and he has lost faith in Superman's leadership. Everything seems hopeless... but then the last page shows Khaljo, a former servant of Mongul and a Warzoon whom Superman spared rather than kill him as Mongul ordered, drawing Superman's symbol in the dirt.

Spacetime Eater: The Shadowbreed feed on heat and light, which means they can also feed on solar powered Kryptonians. Superman and Jon defeat them by creating a form of light they can't feed on.

Replacement Goldfish: Discussed. When Clark and Lois make the decision to adopt Osul-Ra and Otho-Ra as their own children, they note that the kids are about the same age that Jon was before he left with his grandfather. But they also note that the twins are not Jon and they can't make up for the time they lost with him. Later on, Jon clearly has mixed feelings about it despite loving the twins like younger siblings already when his parents make it official.

Endangered Species: A factor motivating Kal to save Thao and the Phaelosians is because the destruction of Kandor at the hands of Rogal Zaar has only further reduced the number of Kryptonian survivors in the galaxy, something that weighs heavily on Kal in the opening of the Warworld Rising arc. Meeting Thao and learning her story gives him an opportunity to help save more of his people.

Metallo is genuinely remorseful towards a guard whom he's forced to kill after the guard stumbles upon his breakout from Stryker's Island, especially since said guard was one of the few staff members who addressed Corben by name and treated him kindly. Corben goes out of his way to assure his victim that he didn't do anything to deserve this fate besides being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Metallo's clearly furious at Luthor for putting him in that position after the deed is done.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Midnighter gives one to Superman in Action Comics #1038 after Superman rejects Middy's plan to blow up Warworld's red sun synthesizers, taking Superman to task for how he failed to lead them to victory against Mongul and undersold the challenge of freeing Warworld. Superman gives one to Mongul in #1042 as the conclusion of a Patrick Stewart Speech, saying that Mongul's view of "lesser races" is much more of a weakness than his own view that there's no such thing, because it means he's always underestimating them. Manchester Black gives one to Lex Luthor how for everything he tries to put him through, Superman doesn't think about him any more than he has to. Black ultimately goes out knowing he has one last laugh on Lex.

While brawling with Luthor, Superman goes so far as to say that concepts like spacetime, weight, distance, and temperature have largely lost all meaning to him, crossing lightyears in moments after Luthor uses Warworld technology to teleport him away.

It was actually an illusion by Black to give Apollo a chance to free himself and it works.

Parental Sexuality Squick: Jon accidentally discovers that, apparently, Lois has kept Clark's very-revealing gladiator costume from Warworld (which looks suspiciously like a piece of Superman-inspired leather S&M gear) in her and Clark's bedroom closet, and is utterly mortified by the implications.

Took a Level in Jerkass
 Superman (Phillip Kennedy Johnson) (Comic Book) / int_8cb1a369
comment
Took a Level in Jerkass : Not that he ever wasn't a huge Jerkass but in the comics, Lex generally isn't known for betraying and killing his fellow supervillains unless they give him a really good reason to and is generally portrayed as more of a Benevolent Boss when he deals with his fellow villains. Here, Lex needs very little provocation to murder Manchester Black to power Project Blackout when Black tells Luthor that Superman made a believer out of him and that he no longer wants to work with Luthor, unless you count developing a more positive view of Superman to be a serious provocation or betrayal in Lex's eyes.

Half the Man He Used to Be: Poor Metallo has seen better days at the start of the Kal-El Returns crossover. He's falling apart as a result of his fights with Superman, he's missing both legs and his left arm, one of his eyes is dangling by a wire, and the guards took away his ability to talk because he keeps having "episodes" (implication being he's suffering from mental breakdowns over how awful his life has become). Metallo gets to pull a Sentry on Henshaw to save his sister.

Despite being hopelessly outclassed, he's willing to throw down with Kalibak and Orion to try and buy time for the others. Luckily, this isn't necessary due to Superman's intervention.

MacGuffin: The Seven Aspects of Olgrun are fragments of the oldest and greatest of the Old Gods who created countless worlds full of wonder. But when he went mad, the other Old Gods banded together to subdue him and divide his essence into seven separate aspects to be hidden away throughout the universe. One of the reasons Superman is on Warworld is that one of these fragments, the Fire of Olgrun, has the ability to restore his failing powers. When Osul-Ra is killed by Mongul, Clark instead gifts it to the boy to resurrect him, bringing the wrath of the New Gods down on their heads as they too want the Fire of Olgrun.

comment
Superior Successor: Mongul-Who-Is considers himself this in comparison to his father, Mongul-Who-Was. Zigzagged with Jon. Jon's unique physiology as a natural-born human-Kryptonian hybrid means that he's capable of doing things Clark can't. Clark is amazed when Jon uses his Heat Vision at the molecular level to detonate water molecules in the air with concussive force. Jon is also the only Kryptonian with the ability to tune his heat vision to the precise frequency necessary to harm the Shadowbreed. Clark believes that Jon will one day become The Paragon that all other heroes will be measured against in terms of his deeds and kindness. However, his inexperience and having the title of Superman foisted on him so suddenly with Clark's departure to Warworld makes him come under heavy criticism. Many feel he isn't ready for the role, seeing him as too naive and not being able to measure up to Clark's legacy.

Red Baron: For this staunch belief in Thou Shalt Not Kill, the Warzoons who rally under Superman's banner call him "Un Bahle'na Gahl" or "the Unblooded Sword" for staging a revolution on Warworld while trying to minimize death and harm.

Take That!: Luthor's initial justification for erasing the world's knowledge of Superman's identity is that he believes that Clark's connection with humanity is a weakness, and that the world should regard him as a god if he is to be an effective hero. This could be taken as a jab at comic book fans who believe that Superman is more interesting when he's "evil" or disconnected from humanity. Luthor also tells Clark that he should be grateful that he allowed him to keep his marriage to Lois Lane, which is a clear shot at Marvel undoing Peter Parker's marriage in One More Day.

In spite of using Superman and their actions resulting in the deaths of hundreds of their own people, they still considered him an ally and hope he can be one again.

Mirror Character: Mongul and Superman occupy similar positions for the Warzoons and Phaelosians respectively. Both are seen as legendary role models whom have their deeds mythologized in stories, both acquired their position in life thanks to the feats they accomplished, and both preach a code of conduct that they seek to spread to their followers. Courtesy of the Action Comics Annual 2022 there is another parallel: both were shaped by their mothers into the men they would one day become. Difference was that Martha Kent guided her son on the path to becoming a hero whereas "Momgul" had a different transformation in mind for her son.

It's All About Me: As per usual, Lex Luthor's brilliance is only matched by his narcissism. He offers Superman a chance to save the world with him, but only as a tool under Lex's control. Naturally, Superman is disgusted and refuses. He's deeply offended that Clark revealed his Secret Identity to others before him when they grew up together, motivating him to wipe out all memory of Superman and Clark Kent being the same person. Just prior to this, Luthor was enraged when Manchester Black informs him that for all of Lex's animosity toward Superman, Clark never thinks of Luthor except when he has to.

Then he hands Superman an axe and orders Superman to kill a Warzoon who has failed him, promising to resurrect Superman's fallen companions if he does so, and threatening to kill Superman's son if Superman refuses. Superman uses the axe to cut down Lightray's body from where it was strung up and tells her he knows that he'll see Lightray alive again, right before Mongul strikes him down again for his defiance.

Reset Button: DC revealed that one of the major impacts of Action Comics #1050 will be the restoration of the secret identity for Clark and Jon, undoing The Unmasking that Bendis had Superman perform during his run. Luthor uses "Project Blackout", comprised of Henry Bendrix's technology, Warworld technology and Manchester Black's power to block Clark and Jon's identities from their minds. The suggestion is so strong that it will literally cause people to have heart attacks, which is what happened to poor Perry White. The only ones who remember their identities are Lois Lane, Jonathan Kent, Martha Kent, Jay Nakamura, the Justice League, the Titans, their reservists, and Lex himself.

Courtesy of the Action Comics Annual 2022 there is another parallel: both were shaped by their mothers into the men they would one day become. Difference was that Martha Kent guided her son on the path to becoming a hero whereas "Momgul" had a different transformation in mind for her son.

Locked Out of the Loop: In issue #1058, it's revealed that Kong Kenan is acting as a spy for the Bat-Man of China to figure out what caused a major reporter in China to suddenly die. While they both know that the reporter died from Death by Secret Identity, they both fear that Superman might have tried to kill him to save his identity, not knowing about Luthor's mental block. Connor can't tell Kenan because of how dangeorus that block is, but also can't warn Kenan about it when Kenan has Robinbot deduce Superman's identity, resulting in a fatal aneurysm.

Redemption Equals Death: Manchester Black joined Superman on Warworld and fought alongside him as his views slowly changed despite supplying Lex with intel. By the time he comes back, he admits to Lex that Superman really did make a believer out of him and doesn't want to work with Luthor anymore. For that, Lex takes him out and has him killed to power Project Blackout.

Heroism Motive Speech: Superman gives one in his apartment to the assembled Superfamily, outlining his aim in gathering them together. He wants them to help him guide humanity during this critical juncture, through both superheroics and super science. Ultimately Superman is hoping that what they do will inspire humanity to want to be heroes themselves.

Insult Backfire: The Warzoons who fight Superman in the pits at first derogatively call him Un Bahle'na Gahl, the Unblooded Sword. It's meant to mock Superman for his refusal to kill, except Superman feels no shame about his moral code against killing, and happily wears the title with pride. Eventually it becomes a name the Warzoon spectators chant out of respect.

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: After Superman uses the Fire of Olgrun to resurrect Osul, Mongul is utterly stupefied. After his actions killed Manchester Black and hospitalized Perry White, Superman is thoroughly pissed at Luthor and ploughs through everything to get to him. Lex in his grasps pleads not to be killed, to which Clark scoffs that he would think that of him.

Evil is Petty: Similar to how Luthor flipped his lid back over in the finale of The Black Ring, Lex's motivations for erasing the world's memory of Clark and Jon's identities stem back to the fact that Clark willingly hid the fact that he was an alien from the world then revealed it to the world before him.
