Superman: Infinite Crisis #[nn]
In "Heaven," two Supermen clash not just in battle, but in identity, as their fight reveals haunting alternate lives—each a reflection of the other's choices. One world shows a Superman who rules with an iron fist, locking away criminals in the Phantom Zone and reshaping Earth in his image; the other reveals Earth 2’s Superman, the last hero, who has done everything to protect the planet—until the Anti-Monitor’s arrival exposes the cost of isolation. Written by Joe Kelly and illustrated by Ed Benes and a team of standout artists, this pivotal 2006 issue explores the weight of power and responsibility with emotional depth and striking visuals, all framed by Phil Jimenez’s evocative cover.

While the two Supermen battle, they experience alternate versions of each others' lives. In one, Superman leads the charge to put all criminals in the Phantom Zone and control Earth with an iron hand. In another, the Superman of Earth 2 has taken care of everything to the point that he is the only super-hero, but he fails when the Anti-Monitor attacks in the Crisis.
