| Synopsis
| - During the days of Krypton when Zod and Ursa still worked on the side of good. An alien force of robotic enemies arrives slaughtering innocents they surround the city of Kandor and unleash an energy force field. It encases Kandor and before Zod can stop it the city is gone along with their attackers...
That was thirty five years in Krypton's time... this is today.
The Daily Planet is having a staff meeting and Jimmy is late. For the benefit of newer staff a roll call goes out via refreshment orders:
Clark Kent.
Lois Lane.
Catherine 'Cat' Grant.
Steve Lombard.
Ron Troupe.
Jimmy Olsen.
Perry White.
Steve irks the entire staff with his backward attitude and over all ignorance, Clark swiftly teaches him a lesson with the infamous broken chair leg stunt. Initiation complete Cat is a bit different, before her time away she was an accomplished journalist. Her son Adam's death has clearly knocked her for six and a façade of brash cattiness is the result several years later. She flashes flesh at Clark and he's very calm. Lois of course in unimpressed. They know it's an act, they knew Cat before, Clark is more sympathetic, even if he didn't have powers it's easy to spot a disguise. Lois jibes back that she would have figured it out eventually!
Before they can retort more flirty banter a flaming object from space is heading to Earth. Clark quickly broadens his shoulders flips his hair and rips his shirt open in inimitable style.
Meanwhile in Smallville Jonathan Kent is busily posting a fence around the farm, his loving wife Martha waves him inside the house for breakfast. The pair don't notice the weathervane suddenly spinning... the cause unknown...
Clark flies upward and catches the flying object. It rapidly transforms into skeletal form and into the familiar appearance of one of Brainiac 1.0's foot soldiers.
As before on Krypton it attempts to lobotomize its prey, but under a yellow sun, that's just not going to happen. All it does is hack Clark off. Ripping off an arm Clarks sends the battle into a nearby river. The robot shields itself and scans Clark's body.
A tiny droplet of blood appears from the point it had tried to hurt Superman, enough for a DNA scan.
This happens in a split second for it powers down literally as Clark is about to administer a devastating blow, instead he watches it power down and crumple. Leaving him puzzled as to Brainiac's plot.
In space we see a frozen old star cruiser shaped like a skull. Dead for some time it suddenly powers up with the transmitted data. The ice melts, lights power up and the cruiser hums to life....
The tri-circle blinks on and we are greeted by a chamber full of bottled cities, almost like lanterns lighting the room.
Central to the room is a metallic structure. The nature of the structure is unclear but we do see a comatose body within, a Coluan. The data extracts and notifies the ship that it has encountered a Kryptonian... a 242 is now in progress.
To be continued...
