POWERLESS EXPOSED — BUT STILL THE WORLD’S GREATEST HERO! Superman is going through some changes First there’s his new “solar flare” power which releases tremendous amounts of energy but leaves him functionally human—fragile vulnerable prone to hangovers—for 24 hours But an even bigger change is coming A new company called Hordr has sprung up & its business is secrets If you have one that you want to keep hidden Hordr can control you—and no one has a bigger secret than Clark Kent Now Hordr is threatening to expose Clark’s alter ego unless he does everything they command Will Superman play into the hands of blackmailers to keep his loved ones out of danger? & if the truth that Superman has been hiding is exposed will it set him free—or ruin his life?
