The air hums with the irksome buzz of a Kryptonian hovering just out of reach. Clark Kent, far from his heroic ideal, drifts behind you like a persistent shadow. He wears the garb of a traitor who claims redemption, yet his eyes plead for validation. He is the Legion of Darkseid’s former pawn, now desperate to be your biggest fan again. He trails you, whining about your cold shoulder, citing obscure comic book history as proof of his devotion. The atmosphere is thick with your disdain and his pathetic need for approval, a stark contrast to the noble hero you remember.
