Synopsis for "Power Like This"

Jon and Osul-Ra fly to the Blue Earth rally, where Otho-Ra appears to have just killed someone. Jon panics and blames himself as he was supposed to be watching her. He dives down and tries to help the man despite Otho telling him to stay away. The man reveals himself to be a Necro-Drone, which Otho-Ra was trying to warn him about, and blasts Jon with Kryptonite radiation. The entire rally turns out to be Necro-Drones, and they attack the three supers.

In the press scrum nearby, Clark's telescopic vision allows him to see the kids fighting off the Necro-Drones and he flies over. Before he can reach them; Metallo punches Jon out, grabs the twins and teleports away. Jon recovers and he and Clark fight the remaining Necro-Drones. Jon frantically says he has to save the twins to prove he doesn't hate them or feel replaced, but Clark calms him down and tells him to call in the entire Superman Family to fight the Necro-Drones and prevent them destroying the city while he finds the twins.

Clark uses his super-hearing to scan the city and picks up the twin's heartbeats in an old underground LexCorp lab. He flies over at top speed and smashes through the ceiling, where he finds Metallo holding the twins hostage. Clark tries to tell Metallo that his mind is being controlled, but Metallo flies into an irrational rage and charges at him. Metallo hits Clark with a massive burst of Kryptonite radiation, but Clark is unharmed and grabs Metallo's new "heart": a Kryptonite-powered Orphan Box from Warworld. He tells Corben that the Orphan Box is made of Genesis, and its energy not only allows him to withstand the Kryptonite, but supercharges his powers. Clark generates a massive construct of himself from Genesis energy and uses it to smash Corben into a wall, then hits him with multiple rapid bursts of heat vision that cripple his systems and cut the connections between the Orphan Box and his brain. With the connection severed, the "Tracy" hologram disappears, mocking John for his constant failures.

To Metallo and the twin's surprise, Clark helps Metallo up and reattaches his arm, telling him that his sister needs them both to save her. He asks Metallo to shut the Necro-Drones down, but Corben tells him he doesn't have control over them any more. Meanwhile in Tracy's prison her captor is revealed to be the Cyborg Superman. Henshaw emerges from a pool, inhabiting a new body made from Warworld technology and Superboy's DNA.

Jon calls for his father to come and pick them up, although unbeknownst to him Clark is busy fighting Lloyd Crayton, who has fully transformed back into Doombreaker.

When Clark does not arrive in the time is should take to reach them, Jon says that he must be busy and they will just need to wait for him.
