Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? #[nn]
In "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? Part 1," Alan Moore crafts a haunting, introspective chapter in Superman’s legacy, with Curt Swan’s iconic art and Murphy Anderson’s precise inks bringing emotional weight to a story where the Man of Steel confronts his deepest fears. As Superman faces a barrage of enemies—Brainiac in Luthor’s body, the Kryptonite Man, and the Legion of Super-Villains—his final revelation leads to a devastating choice, one that forces him to confront the cost of his power. The cover by Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson captures the quiet aftermath, a moment of stillness that speaks volumes.

Lois continues to relate how when Superman was holed up in the Fortress with his closest friends, being attacked by Brainiac (having taken over Luthor's body), the Kryptonite Man, and the Legion of Super-Villains, he realized who the mastermind behind it all was, and called on Mr. Mxyzptlk to show himself. Just as Superman sent Mxyzptlk into the Phantom Zone, Mxy fled to his own dimension, tearing himself apart. Having taken a life, Superman exposed himself to gold kryptonite and retired. The interview over, Lois, her husband Jordy, and their infant son Jonathan settle in for a quiet evening.
