Subject Matter
superhero
Lyra 3916 (introduction, co-worker and girlfriend of Klar Ken T5477); Jay Senohl (introduction, called Jay L-3388 in future appearances); PW-5598 (introduction, computer editor, designed by Perry White's descendant Per Wye T7357); Than Quor (chief astronomer of Pluto); Atlanteans (of 30th century, in flashback); Superman [Clark Kent] (of 1965, on view-tape, name on tombstone, born 1920); Superman II through VI (tombstones only)
Though Superman in the mightiest man on Earth, even he cannot live forever!
Years ago, Klar Ken T5477 took over the role of Superman from his father, a role passed from father to son since the original Superman 1000 years before. The descendants of Superman have become immune to all forms of kryptonite, however a chemical residue left in sea water by a past atomic war paralyzes all people of Kryptonian descent. In the year 2965, Superman is deputized by the Federation of Planets to act as a lawman with unlimited powers. Klar is an ultra-news reporter who receives his latest assignment: Muto, one of this Superman's greatest foes, has been seen robbing a Neptunian bank.
