Superbaby’s first days on Earth begin with a heartwarming discovery by Jonathan and Martha Kent—only to be upended when the baby is swiftly adopted by a couple with a clever plan.

With Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and the mysterious Gentleman Jerry pulling strings, the truth behind Superman’s identity becomes a dangerous game of deception, all while the Criminal Bureau of Information and an enigmatic actor named Steve Bevan play their parts in a web of lies.
