My Adventures with Superman - The Death of Clark Kent

Well, if you can’t come up with a good villain you can always turn Superman (Jack Quaid) into the villain, I guess. As Kara (Kiana Madeira)  helps Lois (Alice Lee) and Jimmy (Ishmel Sahid) sneak aboard the ship, Brainiac (Michael Emerson) works on Clark’s psyche finding a weakness in the recent disappointments concerning his friends and exploiting them. The episode ends with Brainiac now fully in control of Superman’s body laying the foundation for Lex Luthor (Max Mittelman) and Amanda Waller‘s (Debra Wilson) fears to come to pass with an invasion of Earth by “Superman.”

My Adventures with Superman - The Machine Who Would Be Empire

Leaving events on Earth alone (although we may catch up with those a bit in the next episode), “The Machine Who Would Be Empire follows Kara (Kiana Madeira) and Clark‘s (Jack Quaid) adventures in space where she eventually leads him to her “father” Brainiac (Michael Emerson) who wishes to rebuild the Kryptonian Empire. Through some sort of mind-control Brainiac has been using Kara not to bring planets in peacefully to the empire but to wipe them out completely (including Thanagar which the cousins visit). By the end of the episode Kara understands how she has been duped, but she need some help to save Superman (and the universe) from the AI.

Superman #123

Superman Sunday takes us back to the Silver Age and the first appearance of Super-Girl (but not the one who you might expect). “The Girl of Steel” is the first of three stories in the comic. Although the look of Super-Girl would be used for later variations of the character, this version is not Kal-El‘s cousin from Krypton. Instead the character sprung to life from Jimmy Olsen making a magic wish on an ancient artifact Superman guilted an archeologist into giving his best friend. Oh, the Silver Age.
