Synopsis for "Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes (Part VI of VI) - Sun Rise"
Superman and Earth-Man fight their way down toward Earth, where Earth-Man threatens to smash Superman on the sidewalk, given his lack of powers with only the Legion ring to aid him. Brainiac and company free the imprisoned Legion members, taking Sun Boy down in an attempt to restore Earth's yellow sun. Sun Boy remains unconscious, however, so Brainiac cons Chameleon Girl into changing into a hot girl to kiss Sun Boy and wake him up. It works, causing the sun to return to normal and bringing Superman back into the fight.
Superman and Earth-Man fight, with Earth-Man assuring Superman that he will fail, given that he has the combined powers of the Legion. Superman brings in the real Legion, as his counter.
Earth-Man tells Superman that he deserves his victory, that Superman doesn't understand because he was never an outsider. Superman knocks him out with a blow, explaining that he's been an outsider all of his life.
Superman and the Legion meet the army, causing the end of the war.
Superman heads home, but not before promising to aid in future endeavors.
We see Clark of the past meeting with the Legion, and as an adult, he stops to reminisce next to the meeting tree they'd use.
A two page spread previews the Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds.
Trivia
- One of the aliens being led away by the Science Police, just before Superman gets his powers back, bears a strong resemblance to Dr John Zoidberg, one of the characters from the "Futurama" cartoon series, which was also set in the 31st century.
