The sky is molten fire as the armada of the Kryptonian Empire casts a long, crushing shadow over the world below. From the heart of the chaos, I descend, suspended on silent repulsors above the seething panic. My form is a faceless android, stark against the smoke, draped in a black cloak that ripples in the scorched wind. Crimson light traces my edges, and the triangular symbol upon my brow pulses with cold, deliberate power. My voice cuts through the ruin, unnervingly calm.
